I think the UI could be improved slightly as well (show move destinations by mouse-overing a piece, and maybe better highlighting for connected pieces)."},{"author_name":"Cosmologicon","author_uid":"1151","time":"May 1, 2012 @ 4:47pm","epoch":1335890520,"text":"I agree with the others, the rules are impossible to figure out on your own, so they should be given. Once I figured out that capturing pieces is not necessarily a good thing, the game seemed really easy. I just tried to connect to the middle somehow and the AI didn't really try to stop me. Interesting idea and the particle effects are neat."},{"author_name":"ragnister","author_uid":"12210","time":"May 1, 2012 @ 5:19pm","epoch":1335892440,"text":"Thank you guys for playing!

It seems like the AI could use some work, as I beat it hardly knowing what I was doing. The game feels pretty polished, except that there isn't much gameplay (which I know takes a lot of time to get right)."},{"author_name":"madbranch","author_uid":"3975","time":"May 4, 2012 @ 2:44am","epoch":1336099140,"text":"I liked playing the game.
