Now that's a great idea and a really well executed game. Managed to beat it in 1104 clicks. That game is right up my alley. Very well done!

The only niggle I have is that clicking sometimes feel unresponsive (between tiles?)

Well done! The art is phenominal, and the gameplay is smart and innovative. I'd expect this game could score very highly once the ratings are over.

Very nice game! Simple but fun.

I really enjoy simple puzzle games like this that are well executed. The only thing I think it needs are more tiles and maybe a few more mechanics, and it could be a full-featured game. It's a very nice entry.

I like how this game is both hard and at the same time very forgiving. You can always flip things around until it works.

The tutorial is also excellent.

Very fun puzzle game, it's challenging enough but not frustrating. I liked that you included a really nice tutorial.

I have to agree with @Jordgubben, the way this works is very well thought out; I could see this working very well with a bronze/silver/gold or 1/2/3-star system, where completing the level in few enough clicks is key to higher rankings, so you can always brute-force a level to get past it, but will have to really think about it if you want a good score.

The aesthetic was really nice, as well.

Nice! Simple rules leading to sophisticated emergent gameplay (with multiple solutions at that)!

Really well done.

982 clicks!

This game is cool, and graphics are perfect! I only have two complaints: - each level I had to count how many squares are present to know how many each environment is needed. Maybe something in the UI can do that (or just show balance) to help the player (counting is boring...) - If we balanced islands' environments, we imagined water all around, so put water is weird (especially put water on sides). Maybe another environment would be better?

Very innovative and tricky puzzle! Good job! Sounds was a little bit noisy, but still ok too.

Neat puzzle! Not my type of game, but it is very well made and enjoyable.

Cool game! Great to see the difficulty level increase over time (so you first are learnt how the game works). For the rest I thought it was fun to play, but like some others have said too, at a certain level you have to count a lot which is getting boring fairly fast. Overall, great game you've made, keep it up :)

Really creative concept! I was a bit confused at first but quickly undrestood the idea and then the game became an enjoyable several minutes. Good job and keep on going!

I really liked this! Very simple concept but really creative. Nice explanation at the beginning.

Very nice simplistic puzzle that felt rewarding to play! The idea of balance was a great concept to use in the game! Excellent work! I see this being built into some sort of mobile game!

Man.. Am I bad at this game, the second the tutorial ended I just did everything in a million clicks. However, this is a really great puzzle game, would love to see this idea expanded into a much larger game with way more levels. Really great work, amazes me that this was a compo entry.
