Thanks for playing! I'll try to polish up some of the thing you pointed out. Also custom level support is in the works!

As part of the itch io summer sale, the game is currently 15% off btw.

Have no idea how coding works, but the gameplay of this game seems really cool

alright [f-t][f-t][f-t][f-t][f-t] (it will target first)

0:33 when your attack is literately silent but deadly

This is an extremely interesting concept that I feel the lack of polish isn't quite doing the idea justice.

i have never heard anyone pronounce regex like that

Interesting game idea! As someone who has been involved with coding before, this might be useful to teach beginners how each functions work.

also (it will target second)

Clever game concept, but the execution is bleh. Hexgrid background even though the actual gameplay is based on a square grid, and all the models are an eyesore. Would've been better as pixel art tbh.
