Great mechanic!
Nice Puzzler.......
Not as simple as it looks like. Nice entry. Great puzzle :D
Connecting the similar colors interested me. If you continue to develop this, have you considered dragging to link?
@ethan Sure, dragging makes sense and would save quite a few clicks.
I would certainly allow that IF I work more on the game, or make a new version of it in the future, but not for now.
Note: I updated the game with the debug features turned off, the game is now faster, especially the random generation.
Thanks for the nice words everyone !
Great! Surprisingly addictive.
Nice puzzle game!
i love it. can play it for hours
Nice game, very easy and pretty complex in a good way at the same time.
Addictive puzzle game :D Good job!
It took me quite a while to figure out what I was doing :)
I would suggest making some very simple beginning levels to get the basic concept across before jumping in. Also dragging could be cool to build the links...
Nice job!
Great entry! It took me some time to figure out the exact rules, but then it's pure bliss! Well, with drag and hold controls il would have been, but hey it's fun already. Can't wait to see a more polished version on my Android *wink wink*.
Reminds me of the game "Lyne" which is quite similar.
Mechanics are well thought out and it's addictive
@Ponywolf and @ZBGE : have you noticed that you can mouse over the i icon to have instructions ?
And I don't think you can make a level more simple than the first tutorial. :D
Works very nicely and some levels are quite puzzling
@Florent: Yes I read the tooltips, but still I had some troubles with the 2nd tutorials:
- I wasn't sure whether all points should all connect into a single entity, I dumbly thought at first I just had to connect everything to at least one other point.
- I wasn't sure whether the "n connections" points had to be matched with exactly n lines, or if they were just tools for connecting the rest. Making them change a bit (like turning the lines white) when they are made "valid" would have helped with that part.
But with some trial and error I eventually figured things out, so no pb.
@ZBGE "Making them change a bit when they are made "valid" would have helped with that part" Absolutely ! That was on the to-do list but didn't make it.
I reckon there is a general lack of visual feedbacks, I wanted to add more "juice" but as often, I hadn't the time.
Good game. I liked the way you constructed a puzzle game under the theme.

Sorry, I don't find it entertaining. Maybe better explanation of game mechanics would help, but I just don't know what I'm supposed to do.
Great game!
nice puzzle :)
Interesting mechanic, great game!
Nice. The random level are a bit too easy. Also you should make the "Help" button more obvious. And the feedback are a bit anoying (for instance when a want to unselect a node, it play this awefull sound effect... It's not really awefull buti heard it too much!)
The second tutorial level was fun and challenging. Unfortunate that everything after that is randomly generated.
I like sound effects. and simple look.
+ puzzles
+ theme
- no music
Hi there. Interesting mechanic. Lv 2 took a while!
Addicting!!!! VERY NICE ENTRY! GOOD LUCK! :)
Great idea, and work well as puzzle mechanics. Needs a few more levels, but other than that its a fantastic little game.
At first it felt like I was just randomly clicking and there wasn't much thought involved so I didn't really like it, but once I got the hang of it I found it surprisingly enjoyable! I would definitely recommend some starter levels for introduction if you plan on developing further, but I don't penalize you against it given the time constraints. All in all, very well done mechanics with good visuals!
Very hard sometimes but very cool to solve anyway!
Nice puzzle mechanic, I hope you find the time to improve this game :)
It took me time to understand wich dots can connect to each other and which ones can't. i still think it's kind of confusing.
Nice puzzle, good job.
Cool puzzle, nice work! :D
Most interesting puzzle game I tried so far, nice! I managed to link all the dots without actually completing the level.. bug maybe?
Nice game! Very addictive! =D
I got stuck on some levels, but it was fun!
Well done!
Interesting mechanics, well polished. I liked how you play with the colors. Don't see a great connection with the theme but overall it is a good game. Good job!
