But other than that, the game is a lot of fun and the idea is very interesting. I only advanced a few levels because my browser is kind of slow and after 4~5 levels it gets really hard : \/","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":946558,"author_name":"tomrijnbeek","author_uid":"tomrijnbeek","epoch":1683036330,"text":"It took me a few tries to understand what was actually the goal of the game, but once I did, I managed to get through the levels fairly quickly. The graphics and presentation were quite good! My main point of feedback is that the levels are quite unforgiving, and if you miss a single dot, you basically have to start back over from level 1, but in the end I managed to make it quite far through the levels.

Like others, I also didn't understand what to do at first. Specifically I didn't get that the icons at the top were showing the order I had to connect the nodes in. That would have been helpful information to have in the tutorial. But once I understood that, the game was quite fun. I liked the music, which gave the game a chill vibe even as I was frantically trying to connect the nodes. The timer is quite quick, but I liked that as it made the game a real challenge and made it really satisfying when I managed to get further. Really solid game I enjoyed.
