Very fun puzzle game, I appreciate the depth such a "simple" mechanic can provide. During play it felt quite similar to the old board game "Go". Perhaps only critique is that the board size is so big, that you can't reasonably build a mental image of what each move will do. I managed to win on the first try with some educated guessing. Thanks for the game!

Very interesting mechanic, I had fun playing it, I'm still trying to understand what a good strategy would be, I think I almost won, but I encountered a bug for the second time: when it's blue's turn to play the camera shifts and then is stuck (you can see it go left and right).

Graphics look good but maybe a bit too simple, and it's sometimes hard to tell at a glance which parts are connected or not. Not sure how to do that better on a GBA screen though.

Ah, that bug is unfortunate! I experienced that while playtesting once, and thought I fixed it. Guess I didn't!

Thanks for the feedback though; I had a ton of fun making it, glad you had fun playing! :)
