Very interesting entry, I got stuck on level 3 but I really enjoyed the puzzle elements / styling of the game, simple but cohesive! Big props for using your own custom framework!

Fun, easy. I've completed 10 levels
You really don't need 3 types of clicks, I was just using RMB

Custom engine is crazy work! Love the gameplay, really addictive and satisfying, and the music is perfect for the vibe of the game. Really impressive work.

Graphically, this reminds me of something somebody would have written for "Intermediate 3D graphics and C++" seminar in university in 2005. It really works, though.

During playtesting, I had some puzzle design feedback, but your game answered all my questions before I finished. I only have one: When you designed the first puzzles by hand, did you check/enforce a uniqueness constraint?

Really impressive to go with your own engine. And the game was well executed and fun!

Really liked this puzzle-y game! The artstyle was nice and the music was clean, even though the track could have been a bit longer before looping. The way the notes increased in pitch as you connected more was a really nice touch! Great work.

Very well done! I did not notice I could lock the board, before I finished your nine levels.
