I was hooked from the first intro animation!
I think it definitely needs some hints about how to play, but I was able to figure it out.
My main holdup with the game is that it takes a bit too long to get all the pieces in the exact ratios. I really enjoy some of the managing of what the imps are carrying, but for a while I just really needed push pins and it took forever to get what I needed.
All that being said: I love it and I want more!
