I also had trouble playing the game itself, though. It took me a very long time to realize that I was supposed to make a connection FROM the source of the food itself to actually be able to send food down the links. From a user experience standpoint, I'd recommend making this particular connection two-way. It also seemed to be random which pieces of food went which ways, which made it seem impossible to control what food goes to the fireflies and what food goes to the end of the level.\n\nOverall, with these fixes accounted for, you would have a pretty good game.

I actually doubt whether it was implemented correctly, but if it was then it's lacking any sort of coherent explanation. Moreover, it doesn't seem like the game really cares about the amount of red dots you feed the monster, thus not giving you any fail states for you to stumble against which would force you to understand the game... it just goes on to the next \"Stage\" no matter what.  \nEven if explaining it through text is too much, you should've added \"tutorial\" levels and introduced the mechanics gradually. There should've been prebuilt networks with fixed nodes\/connections which you had to complete, so you could observe how an erroneous network fails, then just had to add your own little tweaks to make it work. Only THEN, after you've grasped those mechanics, should it let you start with an empty field.  \nAnyways, I sort of get what you were going for, and it might work if only it were properly conveyed, slowly enough, and without rushing through levels which the player hasn't solved through their understanding of the game but out of sheer luck.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"designernap","author_uid":"1002807","time":"2020-04-29T19:34:00Z","epoch":1588188840,"modified":1588188840,"text":"I really struggled to understand this but gave it a good try!
