⁃ Fun puzzler
⁃ Could have a few on screen promos or over with basic instructions (figure out controls and configure by dragging, etc.) really basic and easy to implement with a full screen overlay that can be exited easily or recalled.
⁃ Concept is wonderfully inviting through its simplicity
⁃ Would have loved to see a little more visual feedback in the UI - indicating greater urgency or realtime feedback to user decisions (or visual reaction from have visually giving player feedback).
⁃ Some of this was achieved, but a greater focus on visual feedback towards the user experience (UX) would provide a little more emotional investment and reward.
⁃ All in all the game loop and core idea is wonderful and killer clever.
⁃ Not necessarily the easiest pick up and play, but once the core mechanics are understood by the player, the game takes on a life of its own!
⁃ Well done!
