Good game. I like the idea. It's simple but fun. I didn't like the controls though, I changed it myself to wasd like this:

line 111:

    elif control in ['w', 'a', 's', 'd']:
        # Define movement deltas
        movements = {
            'w': (-1, 0),
            'a': (0, -1),
            's': (1, 0),
            'd': (0, 1),
        }

Also change line 75 to:
print(f"{game_map[i][j]:>4}", end='  ')

so that every column is perfectly aligned. Else it is hard to see where you are. 

Got to level 5 this way :). Nonetheless well done.

Wow thanks, I was going to work on the alignment but just had to take my eyes off the code for some time. Thanks so much for the tip.

Challenging and fun. I didn't get past the second level yet, but I'll keep trying.

As for some impovements I agree with what Dmitriy Shmilo said. Also adding some colors helps to see what is what would be nice.

Developer

Thanks for playing, I will implement the improvements you suggested.

It reminds me of those mobile game ads, where you run in a straight line and have to choose between gates, which modify your score in some way… you know the type I’m talking about, they’re everywhere.

I kept losing at level 2, probably due to the diagonal enemy movement, and I think it would be cool if there was some way to start from the same level I’ve lost at, rather then begin from scratch each time. Maybe, the player would gain a life every 50 points or something.

Anyways, I like how simple but challenging the core mechanic is.

Glad you enjoyed the game. Thanks for the tips, I've implemented them and honestly they make the game better.
