It took me a while to realize that I needed to let time pass before moving forward on the game haha. Once I worked that out and learned to trust the game a bit, I had quite a lot of fun! Simple, engaging, roguelike-ish puzzles.

- Cool, fun and easy to learn gameplay concept that, while perhaps lacking in scalability in the later missions leading to a lack of legitimate challenge, introduces its concepts quickly and appropriately while also using the intelligent and clean UI to make sure that the player always knows what to do and when to do it to succeed. If you fail, you know immediately it's because you f**ked up. With a budget and some more time this could be a real hit.
