⚠ Disclaimer
This is an early version of the game made under time constraints. Most core gameplay works, but:
-
Some UI elements and text are misplaced or incorrect.
-
Victory/defeat screens may display the wrong outcome at times.
-
Certain rules are unfinished or not implemented correctly.
-
Some levels (especially in Time Mode and Puzzle Mode) may currently be unbeatable.
Your feedback is appreciated while the game continues to improve!
