- Feels like there is a some base idea that could really work with more iterations. I'm finding it difficult to understand the ruleset such as how to increase fleet strength or know how a chain would be broken if moving a fleet. It's quite easy to get stuck being the same length after a while due to the distance between the dots. I think if the dots/systems were more varied in distance, it would make it more strategic because distance == time to move. So do you take a small clustered area or spend time going towards an island I would love to see other players movement/paths as well to add quicker decision making. Lots of promise with the idea though and can see if being something really interesting to play
- This game has a lot of potential. I'd like to play it more to learn what the best strategy is. A faster speed when moving fleets would make the game more intense and keep more experienced players engaged.

This is a really cool concept that should be expanded on more, great work
Very very orignal game. I would love to see more of this game idea in the future. It worth spending time on, really. I'm sure a bunch of fellow strat lover guys would enjoy this fresh concept.
Thank you for the kind words! I found it really fun to work without an engine like Unity or Godot. I'll certainly do so again in the future.
Nice abstract game. I like the Three Body Problem reference :) good choice for a game. I'll try it again with some of my friends during the week.
Simple graphics and the strategy aspect is very interesting, well done!
