At first, I found myself clicking slowly, trying to get each root to split, but I realized, after a short while, that clicking rapidly on the sprouting roots would give me the best results. Eventually I was presented with some pretty diverse branching roots that would almost reach the circle but I would get enough splits just in time. I actually did not register my failure till the game told me so on a pretty purple screen. Fun? Yes."},{"author_name":"Knowledge","author_uid":"34045","time":"May 5, 2014 @ 1:03pm","epoch":1399294680,"text":"I can't run it.(I have Windows XP)"},{"author_name":"xdegtyarev","author_uid":"5862","time":"May 5, 2014 @ 1:32pm","epoch":1399296420,"text":"nice concept. congrats with solo debut!"},{"author_name":"hugamer","author_uid":"28403","time":"May 8, 2014 @ 11:40pm","epoch":1399592100,"text":"Well nice game, the fact that if I keep insane clicking I can end the level very quickly takes a little of the magic, of course there is a moment it becomes impossible.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The point is, I liked the concept, you should put some requirements for clicking and, slow down at some point, change the position, put more balls. etc."},{"author_name":"Crefossus","author_uid":"23130","time":"May 20, 2014 @ 12:34am","epoch":1400545740,"text":"I like the minimalism in design and initial color scheme.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The purple is a little loud and makes the text hard to read.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I loved figuring it out initially and there was about 10 seconds where I was super excited to have a strategy based on this. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Perhaps introducing new game play elements would alleviate the boredom(pruning things the the circle is attracted to an d animates towards otherwise?).
