Nice work with visuals, sound, story and overall feel! The game mechanics was not entirely clear and the controls could have been a bit smoother, but the concept is really nice.

Very fun game! I really enjoyed it, and would like to come back to this one. The controls were a tad fiddly, but other than that, it's awesome! Great job with this!

This is a really great concept!

This is absolutely fantastic. I'm genuinely surprised you've managed to put this together in so little time, I won't be surprised if this wins any of the categories. It's very innovative, extremely addictive, and challenging, but not unfair. It's the perfect balance between giving the player a challenge, and not making them feel like an idiot. It's kind of the Portal philosophy to designing puzzles - make them difficult, but make sure the player feels they've accomplished something when they finally beat the challenge, and you nailed it. The music's top notch, and the whole graphical design works well. Brilliant work!

Really cool game! Nice puzzle, story and the whole atmosphere!

Cool game and quite challenging!

Good job; this shines on all aspects, really.

Except for the theme! This is pretty much the standard interpretation of it. But you don't have to worry about that. 8)

It's weird how these shapes end up so elegant no matter how the dots are arranged.

Thanks for your comments everyone! @celeron55: I think if I just randomly picked any arrangement of dots it probably wouldn't have an answer. My algorithm works backwards from a solution.

This is really impressive. I very much enjoyed playing it, the best entry I've seen so far! I liked a lot about this entry, but my favorite part was the computerized voice.

madameberry 2014-12-09 01:47

I like the challenge of figuring out exactly how I was supposed to play this game. I really enjoy this, I think it would make a great mobile game (and I kind of want it on mobile now. DO IT)!
My only suggestion would be to include an "undo last action" button, since placing the diagonal lines is super finicky and the only way to fix mis-placing one of those is to restart the whole thing.

Really loved the mechanics, the robot-voice, and most of all, the level-design! If you added more levels, maybe some other mechanic, and improved the controls, it could become a pretty nice game, congrats!

reheated 2014-12-09 07:34

@madameberry: You can undo an edge by clicking on it again. Sorry that I didn't say that anywhere. I'll add it to the notes. IMO a mobile version is not an option unless I think of a different interface because it's hard enough with a mouse clicking the diagonals.

Very polished game. The amount of levels is incredible. The art style is perfectly fine for this kind of game, buttons don't match the style though. No suggestions (aside from lowering the asset size, 13MB is a lot :)).

fullmontis 2014-12-10 09:51

The mechanics are interesting and I love the vocoded narrator :D

Only commplaint I have is that the controls could be more precise, it's not immediate to get the right diagonal.

groydis 2014-12-10 11:03

Awesome puzzle game, Had a great time playing it. Love the voice work!

rottenmage 2014-12-10 16:47

Great job! I really enjoyed playing this. The puzzles were challenging, though the controls need a bit of tweaking.

webravenz 2014-12-10 20:33

Nice idea it was fun :)

magicolo 2014-12-10 21:47

-Very impressive what you accomplished with such simple rules (and in only 48h)
-SFX, Music, Voices :)
-Polished, hints :)
-Not completely a one screen game in my understanding :(
-Visually simple but efficient :)
-Awesome job overall :D

sirricecake 2014-12-11 10:48

Really nice game! Got me hooked! Love the unique puzzle-concept.

01rafael 2014-12-11 20:15

Too hard for me. But, anyway looks awesome!

arkrothe 2014-12-11 20:23

Very nice! The presentation was fabulous :)
Just wish the music was looped as it got cut of at around level 7

jelly 2014-12-11 20:34

Wow! Great game. The story mode with going to war is strange. I don't really like the idea of enabling a robot to go to war by playing this game.

The game play is really fun. The puzzles were fairly challenging and really satisfying. The music was also really nice.

Nice work!

@Arkrothe: Really? Darn. That never happened for me. What OS and browser are you using? I found the audio to be a bit unpredictable in Firefox in other ways so maybe that's it? Try Chrome or IE.

codecranker 2014-12-12 05:47

beautiful puzzle game! loved it!!
Stopped at level 7 but definitely try to finish all of them later.

dekart 2014-12-13 11:44

Good puzzle, I liked the mechanical voice at the background. Story mode is not very challenging, but it's a great way to learn how to play the game. Good job!

6downstudios 2014-12-16 22:58

This is awesome! Randomly generated puzzles are awesome! And great job on the graphics and audio, the mood is great!

insality 2014-12-20 15:42

Great game, fantastic
this all created on high level! GJ
very addictive..

atkinssj 2014-12-20 15:56

Very impressive! I don't know how you managed something so clever and so polished, with random level generation as well. :D Easily beats the quality of a lot of games I see for phones.

rodobodolfo 2014-12-20 16:15

Really Impressive!!, Level 15 was a real challenge, visuals and sound are really awesome too. One of the best.

gallerdude 2014-12-24 16:54

Really awesome concept, but I can't get my head around it. This would make a great app!

poupi 2014-12-25 02:27

Very nice! ;)

lynx 2014-12-28 21:47

Very amazing concept, and I enjoy the storyline you added to a puzzle game...I was confused on level 7 with the two loops...every time I made two loops...one edge would touch or one corner or something and it felt like the game wouldn't see that as two separate loops.

hadesfury 2014-12-29 10:51

Strange it did not work

I've got the menu than clicking on one entry and nothing happen ... empty screen

reheated 2014-12-29 14:48

@hadesfury: Oh no! Are you playing in Firefox? There are some rare audio-related problems in Firefox. Reloading might fix it or you can try a different browser.

shawnfeatherly 2014-12-30 22:38

Great puzzle mechanic and great levels! I found level 14 trickier than 15.
