:) I love the music and the concept!
I think a little bit of guidance/tutorial would have helped a lot! (a bit of description in your itch.io page would help too!) I also struggled to figure out how the controls at first. And then I also struggled to figure out how to arrange things correctly.
I agree on the tutorial, there was too less time left for that. I will update the page though, thanks for the feedback!
The music is AWESOME! And the vibe and just theme and idea is really really neat! Took me a bit to figure out how it works, but once it came together it really came alive! Very cool game! nice vibe and great job!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your feedback! :D
It's pretty hard to grasp initially mainly because the walls seem to start after a given time and not because out of any other reason. A counter on the top that display the time left might've helped fixing that. Besides that tough really nice game and well done.
yes, that is true, a timer would have been a great idea. Why did I not think about it xD. Thx for playing!
This was hard to understand but really cool once I got it! Very original puzzle concept!
Thank you for the feedback :)
I really like the concept but the timer feels too much for a puzzle time (I've had a hard time finishing the first defense)! Maybe a "press space to start" would have felt a bit better
I see the timer was not everyones cup of tea :). Good to know, and thanks for checking it out!
Cool concept, took my a while to understand what I need to do.. I think you could have use a bigger square since I ended up missing quite a few times.
Well done!
Yes, if I had more time, I probably would have added some kind of progression, so the mechanics would be clearer. But thank you for playing
Really cool idea for a game. Could have used more time for each puzzle but then again the timer made it extra fun.
Thx, really appreciate the nice words!
The concept is fun, but the limited time really feels like too much, I'd rather have unlimited time to understand how to solve the puzzle.
maybe I will add an option like that as an after-jam version, we'll see
Figuring out the puzzle in time is tough, but I love the concept! Great application of the theme to join the nodes together to protect the core.
Thank you. Yea, the timer should add some difficulty.
Love it!
thanks mate, appreciate it!
