This game has multiple optional challenges you can choose to activate. See how far you can get.
(Note: It is possible to get soft locked with Challenge 3 in grid movement. You have been warned.)

Looking good! I recommend that when the player has chosen to use the locked grid movement, you still show a quick slide animation between tiles before locking them to the grid again. This will be a bit easier on the eyes.

I don’t know how to animate that with the game’s mechanic of increasing the amount of spaces you move at a time or without messing with the camera weirdly
