Would be interested in a post jam version for sure! It's a great idea. Could have used a little bit of direction in what the symbols represent for sure. And I looooooove the art, but I did find myself wanting to turn off the animations, personally. Or maybe if they only animated when they were being clicked and dragged, it would be ok? Or just a switch that turns them off for accessibility reasons?

BUT there's a really cool game here that I'd love to play more of! Great work

Developer

Thank you! I did set the animations up in a way were they'd be easy to turn off. Will include that in the post-jam version

Great little game that was just a little bit too little. Being left wanting more is no bad thing

I liked the comic book art style the most and really suits this entry. The gameplay is great, although somewhat difficult to understand. I think this is something that should be expanded with more levels; the ending felt abrupt but my assumption is it's because of the time constraints of the jam and I would like to see of levels of this.

I would love to see extra levels added. I quite enjoyed the puzzle aspect of it as well as representing the way information spreads in the world. I have a question though, what does the eye represent in the game?

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The eye is how the info is received. it can go from bored up to panicing. hopefully i can explain it better in the post-jam version
