Cool concept! Took me a while to understand what was happening, but it was fun.

A nice puzzle experience for sure, just the right size of the board and the rules in place to make the player do some forward thinking, while not being too complex, the challenge is real yet doesn't feel unfair, really satisfying to try out. Great job!

Nicely done puzzle game with a lot of juice.

Very neat puzzle game!

Having all the multiple exit points and neglecting them (or their specialties) put me in a few of those "hmm..." situations.  It reminds me a lot of some of the feelings you get from playing 2048 where you're responding to blocks just popping up, but now with more risk vs reward.

Very  cool stuff!

Simple, creative, and truly excellent. I played a few rounds of it because I was excited to get better at it. I haven't beaten it yet, but I've learned something new ever time playing it.

My only constructive feedback is to change the visualization for the "throwing away and doing nothing" channels. In my mind I always imagined them doing something, but the lack of mining symbol wasn't enough to stop my lizard brain from pressing the button anyway! Not sure I have any brilliant idea here, but calling it out. ALSO, it'd be nice if the "throw away" channels were guaranteed to not be expensive -- naively I imagine that helping balance the game, but ya never know haha.

I loved playing your game! The mechanics are really interesting and captivating. It also match the theme very well.

I did many attempts before reaching 20 stars, and it was a pleasure to see that I could learn from my mistake and go further in the next games

Congratz!

However, 2 (very small) negative points.

  • I wanted to go back to the menu to read the help again, but it is not possible at all.
  • I reached 20/20 stars, but I got a "game over" because I had 0 - 0 resources remaining :'(
