Not really 100% sure what I was doing but i was so moving some gloop around. The game looks great and sounds great but maybe a bit more direction or indication what to do would help. All in all a great job!

This really needs some kind of tutorial or explanation. I moved goop around and got to the first planet but I did not understand what I was doing.

I loved it! It took me some time to figure out what i was supposed to be doing but once it clicked i need to get the fuel to the stations that require it I really enjoyed the puzzles and finding the best routes & paths. I was glad to see that the game got more challenging as I played and the routes got more complex.

I agree with the other comments that it could use some instructions. I got to the first planet by trial-and-error but after that, I couldn't figure out how to get further. There's an interesting idea in there, though. =)

Interesting concept, but I found this hard to figure out without a tutorial. Even just some description on this page would help!
I did okay figuring it out up until the last delivery, then I seem to have gotten soft locked and couldn't move the gloop no matter what configuration I tried. I would have loved to know where I went wrong (:

It was hard for me to figure out and it took me a while before I got a sense of what this game was about. It looks like you put a lot of thought into the game so it is a shame that many people who would try this game would leave before they even know what to do. Overall nice job.

Good game. I was lost at first without any clue about what to do, but it was fun to progress. Maybe some visual cues on the path the gloop will go through would be nice.

the lack of a tutorial only contributed to the obtuse and miserable vibe (<- praise). I hope the gloop corporation makes me a manager soon, or fires me. mood rated 5. good use of theme also.

Nice concept! It was hard to figure it out without a tutorial. Please write some tutorial in the description on LD page.

Cool game! It was so hard to read that I feel like I learned an alien language 😅

I really liked the concept. I found it hard to decode the graphics even once I zoomed in a bit. I appreciate that you went in an odd direction with the theme. I feel like I almost understood the rules for moving the gloop, but every so often it wouldn't go and I'm not sure what I was missing. I gave up on my way to the last planet.
