"connected" I see what you did that XD. Anyway, this is a nice, calming road-building game. I had fun playing it. At first, I was always ending the level with 0 connected and was genuinely confused. Not until I accidentally did something wrong that I realise I played the whole game incorrectly. Nice twist! The deck road build system is nicely done, though I think it is a bit RNG at times. The cute pixel graphics and cosy music fit the game quite well, making a nice overall package for the game! Well done!
For some minor criticism, I'd say the game would really benefit from some challenge for the player. Being godly and doing whatever you want is nice, but players do need to put in some effort in order to make the experience engaging. Also, you might need to hint at the twist a bit more, as currently it's too subtle and players might not get it. Game is also a bit short, but you do need some variations to expand into longer levels, or else gameplay would get stale quickly. I don't know, something like resident resistances, rival road builders etc, might be fun.
Anyway, this is a surprisingly nice entry! Well done!
