Thank you for your kind words! We mentioned that on the game's page because we didn't have enough time to fully implement a tutorial for this mechanic but we take responsibility for that. We'll definitely make a stronger effort to communicate it more clearly to the players. We're planning to refactor the tutorial levels and add more detailed information on existing mechanics.
