I'm sorry, could I ask you to explain how you found it "hard to move around"? Did you have trouble distinguishing where/what links went/did? I thought that it was at least somewhat clear based on context. Then again, I'm the one who wrote it, so I'm probably the worst judge in that department.
The game is intended to be more open, yes. I wanted players to be free to explore the city, letting them learn more about Pooh's world as he finds components for his and Piglet's heffalump trap.
Issues aside, I'm glad you enjoyed the game. :)
