Help the Turtles reach their food!

Made within 3 Days for Ludum Dare 54 with the theme "Limited Space".

The sleepy turtles are having trouble reaching their food. They need a little push to get to it! However, there's not much space to navigate, and you cannot move backward, so be careful!

If you're playing on Mac, the game might take a bit longer to load


If your day is beak,
Or you feel like flippering out,
Don't sturtle,
Come play my cozy turtle game.
I promise you'll have a shell of a time,
And that it's better than taking a snap.
There are 17 levels to beat,
Some are easy, some are espeshelly hard!


How to Play

  • Push turtles by moving onto them.
  • Pushed turtles will wake up and move straight ahead until they either stop or find food.
  • If you push turtles from the front, they won't move ahead because you're blocking their way!
  • You cannot move backward, so try to avoid sticky situations.
  • You can use turtles to block other turtles.
  • A turtle can collect more than one carrot!
  • Green arrows will stop the turtles and rotate them to the arrow's direction.
  •  If an arrow and a turtle moving over it are facing the same direction, the arrow is ignored.
  • There are 17 levels!

This is lovely and clever! The music reminds me of the old DOS game Are We There Yet?. I've been stuck on the final level now longer than the whole rest of the game has taken me :(

Just looked for the game, loved the music. And yeah, the final one is a bit too tough compared to the rest. Hope you managed to solve it! It's a really satisfying solution. Thanks for playing!
