Nice game, but at the beginning hard to understand.

Totally need a restart button. I don't like to refresh the page.

It took me a while to figure out how exactly everything worked, but very neat.

I love the concept, but I wasn't 100% sure what was going on while I played. I think a little bit more instructions would be helpful.

Very cool idea - though I must admit I was sort of expecting there to be a worm whose brain I'd been designing during gameplay :)

Took me a bit to understand what to do but after I figured it out I was able to evolve into something good. Missing an arm, though! Not bad at all, good job!

I thought I had the neuron placement figured out at first, but eventually I really did get it. Nice game. Fun to play.

Very cool idea. Like others say, it needs a bit more in-game instruction. Maybe pictures alongside text would help.

Fun game, but it's a bit buggy. There are pieces that suppose to fit but inadvertently turned into a block.

Nice game :) I like it :)

zatyka 2012-09-02 15:26

It took me a long time to get the hang of this. I enjoyed it.

Solid puzzle game, A bit hard though. The UI was a bit confusing, for example it looks like you could select one of the four blocks and that the arrows were redo and undo.

A restart button would help too

Could have used restart button and it took me a moment to figure out what I am supposed to do, but when I got hang of it I liked it, funny game, rotating and adjusting all the parts was kind of fun. Good job!

Very interesting puzzle, the gameplay is solid and entertaining. Could use some audio. Some possibility to skip a fixed number of blocks (like: 3 skips available) would give player a little more control over the result, but I managed to get a worm with a worm body, eyes, brain, two legs and two arms - so I guess I did quite good. Great entry!

I like the idea but I didn't understand how was compute my score...

m-gryko85 2012-09-06 07:12

Nice game. I didn't have any trouble understanding it. Fun idea to actually see what monstrosity I have created.

saintheiser 2012-09-06 07:13

Hey, man, good game idea! But the implementation of the crude. There is no sound, no refresh button, even no win conditions. Also your game reminds me old DOS games like "Vetka" and "Tubemaster".

goffmog 2012-09-09 12:56

Tough game, reminds me a little of pipemaia, etc. If you make it into a full game, consider making the first level a bit easier than this :) Also maybe the ability to reject the current block for a score/time penalty would be good.

nizan 2012-09-09 13:07

Actually not bad. Could have been a little clearer what you had to do, and there were a few bugs/things that didn't seem to make sense. Overall though, I enjoyed it :)

593. Missed one arm.

Praise: Good concept, fits with the theme, solid execution. Simple, but deep. Excellent work.

Criticism: I felt like the game could be explained more - it took me a bit to figure out what the dead nodes were, how they were created, etc.

tutorial would indeed be nice, would have stopped playing if not for the compo. but after i got i really got hooked, nicely done! graphical style is not necessarily my thing, but it has a humorous wackiness to it.

someone 2012-09-14 10:35

Nice game. It confused me a bit as I expected the game to end when everything was connected.

rawbits 2012-09-14 12:32

The rule to make every side connect makes this game really hard. I managed to get a score of 7 from 10 rounds... But it's a nice idea, just implement a restart option!
