This is really great! A bigger (non-pico-8) game could benefit from more of a hand-holding tutorial as there's a lot to learn at first, but it makes sense after reading the instructions. So much depth and interesting strategy. Hope this becomes a "real" game like Slipways. That one made the transition well and is a great game both on pico-8 and outside of it. I also really enjoyed Pieces of Cake back in the day -- simple but interesting strategy especially for such a constrained physical space, and even more impressive since it was one of those holiday pack games. :)

Oh, and also really glad this has an "auto-save" and continue option. Thanks for that. I foolishly closed the tab, mid-game, to write the comment above and then was surprised to see "continue" as an option, thinking I had lost my progress. It was a nice surprise!

The first win feels so good! I can't even imagine what the higher difficulties must be like. :)

Mostly harder :)

Congrats!

Yeah, tutorials are hard to do well! For PICO-8 releases, I tend to believe in my players figuring it out (like you did) and just rely on a guide + trying to make the game give you cues on how to play it.
