Thank you so much for the review! There’s definitely some luck involved, but I’ve tried to keep it from becoming too RNG-dependent. I think part of the frustration comes from not yet knowing the merge chains in advance. For example, if you know that two mulberry leaves create a silkworm, you can plan where to place the merge so future silkworms end up close together.
Since I already know all the chains, I’ve been able to complete the stages consistently, even while intentionally making inefficient moves, so your feedback helped me realize that new players may need better ways to learn and predict upcoming merges. That’s something I definitely want to improve, so your comment was really valuable.
