Not very clear what do do from the start. But otherwise an interesting idea for a puzzle game. Could be really good with a bit of polish.
Suggestions:
- Some more visual hinting might help, like displaying an outline of the shape you’re about to add on hover (rather than just enlarging the tile)
- Rather than have an instructions page, let the player learn the rules through playing the game.
- Tooltips could help with this. Have a little explainer when you hover over the other tile types like grass etc.
- Win/fail state not very clear. After a playthough I think the goal is to survive for as many turns as possible, and failure is when one of the shape types is extinct.
Possibly a bug or just an oversight:
- Once I clicked on a rotate button, I couldn’t exit that state. Tried right-clicking, Escape key, clicking the button again, etc. Playing web version.
