Very satisfying - the game felt even better when I figured out I could just guide bricks into each other with gravitational pull. Some things I still dont understand, like the point of feeding the core after breaking the bricks and why it only happened sometimes. Either way this game was good, just needs some additional explanations in it. Grea tjob!

Thank you for playing! I’m glad the gravity pull started to feel better once you figured out you could guide bricks into each other. That interaction is something I want to build on more.
You are definitely right that the game needs more explanation. Feeding the core after breaking the bricks is supposed to be how the planet gains Stage Mass and moves toward transformation, but the game does not explain that clearly enough yet. The Breakthrough part also needs a clearer prompt, so players understand why it happens and what they should do.
I appreciate the feedback. The next pass is going to focus on better instructions, clearer Breakthrough prompts, and making the upgrade choices easier to understand.
