It had a nice difficulty ramp - at first I thought it was going to be entirely too challenging, but the first couple levels were easy enough to ease me into the experience. One thing I might suggest is changing the control interface a bit. Since I'm more accustomed to using WASD, I would sometimes hit the wrong key and end up burning a move. Perhaps consider switching it to a mouse click (just draw a border or highlight a hexagon when you hover over it, to show which hexagon you're selecting to move to). Just a thought."},{"author_name":"Phask","author_uid":"45658","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 9:00am","epoch":1418201700,"text":"Hey djk, thanks for the feedback.
