It's a bit simple but in a short blast it's relaxing, in a way. With some simple sfx and some spiffier graphics this could be a really neat game. Perhaps for a future version? Good work on this so far!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"phi","author_uid":"1000641","time":"2017-12-08T18:42:47Z","epoch":1512758567,"modified":1512758567,"text":"That's actually a great idea! Fits the theme well too. It took some time for me to understand the concept, but after that it's quite simple and fun. It looks and seems very abstract in the beginning though, even though it's a quite easily understandable and relatable concept. Maybe if you could make the visuals a little more self-explanatory, you wouldn't need to use so much text in the introduction, which would generally make the game more appealing. My rule of thumb is always: Every letter in a game is too many. If you can explain it using graphics\/symbols\/colors, it's much more user-friendly (or maybe I just don't like reading...).\n\nConsidering you made this in half an afternoon, I'd love to see what you can do with this given more time!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Clemzd","author_uid":"1005219","time":"2017-12-11T12:34:40Z","epoch":1512995680,"modified":1512995680,"text":"Nice little game! The idea and mechanics are really cool :) May be you should add a story behind the game and work on visuals (it can still be alphabet letters) to improve the game! It reminds me the game 2048, which has a really simple concept behind but that did work really really well!
