The experience was super chill and calming, and the mechanics were interesting. There was actually a lot of complexity, with lots of different kinds of nodes to play with, and intersting choices to make. I played for quite a long while before my last photon sadly faded away. The splitting node especially makes it fun to play, because you really have to decide on whether you want one strong photon or several weaker ones. I think you could add a few more beacons, because at times it was hard to explore new areas, but that's all I can say. Very fun and chill.
