Yes, awesome concept, quite challenging, tho you will get familiar pretty fast so it's okay. Some refinement could be added but overall great game, sleepy fox man
hey Ran, thanks for your feedback! :)
Hey, dude. Sorry for unable to join you on this years GameJam. I still got a week left till my Finals, can't wait to escape this hellhole and talk to you more, Keep up the good work dude
don't worry about it :). It is not so pretty as it was last year of course. Yes focus on your finals, and we keep in touch! :)
At first look it seems complicated, but later on i find it challenging and satisfying. Cool idea and good job for this one! :-)
Thank you for your kind words!
This is one of those games I have a hard time with, not because the game is bad, but because I am! I really enjoy the beat, even though I couldn't seem to get very far! You have created a very innovative game here, and of all the games I have played, yours is one of the most unique! Well done!
In case you weren't aware, Mark Brown played your game on stream:

Thank you so much! Yes the difficulty ramps up too fast, sorry about that :). Thanks for playing and also thanks for the link to marks stream!
No problem at all! Happy to assist!
Cool idea! It could use in-game instructions and more player feedback (like a line connecting your mouse to the node that you're dragging from), it took me a while to figure out how to play. It could also use a bit of a difficulty curve, starting with 3 colors, 3 steps, and 4 directions was a bit much for me to wrap my head around at first.
I definitely agree with a progression. That would have helped to understand it faster. Thank you for playing and your feedback!
Yes, if I find the time for a post-jam version, I will add something that helps faster understand the gameplay. Thank you!
Simple but interesting concept. Cool music and addictive gameplay. Well done!
Thank you very much, much appreciated!
Took me a second to get used to, but once I got there I really liked it! Like the song as well.
Thank you for checking it out!
cool game, fun to play! minimalistic design is also nice. you heard it already - it would be good to have some timer to have feeling of how fast i need to solve puzzle
Yes, a timer would have been a good idea :). Thanks for your feedback
I really liked this game. It could use a timer and a better difficulty curve, but otherwise well done!
I agree, thank you for checking it out!
Fun little puzzle game. A timer for when the bars start moving would of helped alot but this is pretty good for 48 hours. Great job!
Thank you very much. Yes, a timer would have been very handy :)
