• it's great to see you encountered bugs and took on the challenge to fix them, and sharing this with the discord channel was very thoughtful. This is an imaginative idea for using the ring system and I enjoyed playing it. The menu, VFX, UI and audio adds nice polish too. I think the win/lose margin for each connection might be a bit too small as I struggled to complete a level - but I really like what you've made here :)
• Excellent creativity on this project. The game is a good challenge, but not impossible. The addition of the hint system is key in understanding the game. At first I missed there was a third level to the wheels. The controls are not exactly intuitive, but that is maybe part of the challenge. The UI and the design of the game is a really nice aesthetic. The music and sound effects add that extra piece of polish.
• Video sets a high bar Release ZIP is pretty clean - just one unnecessary file I noticed Ooh, audio Very nice UI design Wasn't entirely clear at first why the water continued to drip from the same place, but rolled with it and was able to position everything eventually. Excellent
• Overall I thought the presentation was good and quite some thought had gone into the gameplay, plus it was one of the only submissions I looked at that had audio.
• A bit too hard but a great idea!
• This project is an excellent example of a complete game prototype including tutorial/control info, accessibility features (hints), and sound effects. Features that are commonly neglected. The only notable issue I had while playing is that it's very hard to tell whether or not the rings are in the right position. For me, it looked like all rings were aligned correctly but my solution was not accepted. Only after enabling the hints, I was able to complete the level. It would be nice if the rings snapped a bit into the correct position or if the solution is a bit more graceful with precision errors. What would also greatly improve the issue is feedback for partial solutions, i.e. if the player completes the first ring set, the water should flow through it until the next part and leak there. Other nice to haves would have been: - keyboard and/or mouse support - multiple levels I would have preferred those points over a leaderboard. Overall a very complete and excellent submission.
