This was very fun! I love the game design, having to strategically decide where to go next. Each turn was a micro cost-benefit analysis to make it to the end. The art direction looks amazing too.

Femurvilleyou got me hooked! I didn't get up until i finished it! on the web there's a little resolution issue as the whole expanse of the screen is not visible so sometimes there might be buildings near by but we cant access them and restart is the only option. Nonetheless 5 stars!

Hack Connection LostOne of those addicting click puzzle games, couldn't stop until I finally beat it. For one of the runs when I got to the reactor, it asked for double the energy than what was said on the bottom right and I wasn't sure what that was about. I think the game would also benefit from providing a more detailed description on how energy amounts are calculated. And the art is really lovely, good work!

The PoossessorNicely done! Really impressed by the art. Sounds effects and music established a nice chill vibe as well. Gameplay was fun! Clicking my way across the map was enjoyable.
My feedback would be that I'm not sure if the visuals support the gameplay. For example I don't get why more buildings would provide more energy? Wouldn't they use up the energy? Some of the effects of the buildings didn't seem to match as well. Why should a toll both, a very small building, have a high energy cost? Not that important but it did make it harder to learn the mechanics since the way the building looked didn't hint at the effect it would have.

DARK WORLDI agree with you completely! If we took this game further and made adjustments, I'd like to make every building give/take energy intuitively so a player could look at the type of building and make a reasonable assumption about what would happen by connecting to it. I appreciate the feedback, thanks for playing it.
Very cool. Loved the art style and sound. I like that each building has different mechanisms in addition to the color combos. I did once get to the end with enough power but it did not let me finish until I looped around a bit more, not sure why.

Connect Control ConquerThe art is beautiful, all the colors look amazing together. However sometimes I struggled to find the UI elements like arrows etc to click - they blended in a bit too much.
The music and sound effects were great - added to my immersion and didn't annoy or distract me in any way.
The gameplay was a little confusing at first but once it clicked I was definitely hooked on the idea. I was a little confused on the UI at the bottom and what is was trying to tell me in regards to points needed etc but I think that says more about me than the game design.
Really awesome work and all done with in the time, that's amazing

Kobold CavernsI think people are seriously going to underrate this!
Took me quite a few goes, but I got it and it was very satisfying.
I like the art style and audio, but I think the games design was what shone throughout, excellent little casual puzzle game.
Only issue I ran into was that I had no moves at one point, and the game wouldn't end, I'm not sure why.
Excellent work!
