I am pretty blown away by how polished this game is. Very nice job!

This is exceptional. Well done. Very polished, very neat idea. Controls are simple and clear, and everything seems to make sense. Graphics are awesome. This feels like more than a Game Jam game.

The game had a nice idea, I enjoyed playing it, maybe you could add an option to remove something that is already built, otherwise the game may reach to a deadend. Good job!

Very surprised about this game! Really well done and very well designed! Art and music aren't anything spectacular, but they are perfect for this little game!

Very good design & nice idea, I like the game

Отличное техническое исполнение. Вполне себе готовая игра для продажи, только уровней разных придумать побольше ^_^

I really enjoyed this! This would be especially fun to play with friends and race to see who get make it the farthest/fastest. After getting used to them, the controls felt good. Very smooth and interesting!

Fluid game mechanics, easy to use, graphics are good and challenge is here ! Pretty awesome

neat sort of puzzle game

Fantastic game, good use of the theme, great visuals and gameplay. Minor nitpick: it's not clear from the menu that you have to move it downwards to access the playing board, besides that, this is extremely solid.

I like it! Was interesting to configure and choose what to place. Looks nice too, very zen!

cole-hutson 2021-04-27 01:50

Great Game!! I think the oil tiles appear a little too infrequently. Which causes the player to lose to no fault of their own!

I really like the idea and am impressed you did this in so little time!

That's an awesome puzzle game. It'd be great if one of the power-ups was a 'hand' expansion (not sure if there was one and I just never rolled it). I kept having 2 pumps in my hand and only one pipe. The difficulty felt good; I only lost after I made it through many of the blue tile lines, but I was always a little worried.

Great entry! It feels really polished and I like the graphics. Probably the only thing I didn't like was that the gameplay felt quite restrictive because you could only place things on the end of already placed pipes, but maybe that's just my personal preference.

Also it wasn't clear that you need to scroll downwards to start playing the game, but I eventually figured it out.

My highest score was 40, but I could probably get higher if I spent more time figuring out a good strategy :slight_smile:

Had a really fun time playing this game, the concept is novel and fun. Solid implementation and smooth soundtrack. If found myself getting into sticky situations when I made poor placements. I think the deck could use more pipes, and less pumps, I always found myself with 2 pumps and 1 pipe, which made strategizing less fun. great game overall, the most polished I've seen thus far.

Very brainy game, I liked it! Combines deckbuilding with puzzle elements. Fun to play!

chrisap 2021-04-27 21:16

I have to say I was hooked with the deckbuilding and table top aspect of the game. I had a pretty good run and noticed the hand didn't let you draw 3 oil rigs which was a relief. The assets are beautiful and the music is great for the mood of the game. Overall very interesting deckbuilding mechanics, with some polish I would legit buy this game.

stevenjmiller 2021-04-28 11:08

Great game, my best score was 188. I also found myself in a lot of situations where I only had one pipe. I'm not sure how much it would impact the difficulty, but I found myself wishing that the deck size was one higher and that there would be a guaranteed two pipes instead of one, just to allow for more strategic decisions.

davision 2021-04-28 17:56

That mechanic works very well and the endless aspect makes it also really interesting. I kept making bad moves were I walled myself in but that was just my fault. It has that on more try feel to it.

Pretty cool game! Kind of tough for me but i can see the appeal for sure. Love the music, love the art!

Cool puzzle game! Passed it in several tries and ended up with 530 points (could be more with some luck :D).

Non-distracting soundtrack with nice visual style and absence of bugs make it easy to immerse yourself into the gameplay. It's pity that there is no opportunity to get rid of unnecessary oil pumps and to move the camera faster over the game field. With few additional deckbuilding features for playthorough variacy and some balance fixes this game is ready for release in the stores for sure!

Great puzzle game, and in 72 hours - Wow! Music was great, and can see myself coming back to this one!

This game is right up my ally. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this one. Slow cerebral hex puzzles are my bag baby. The game is overwhelming well thought out. You have to work within tight restrictions but you have enough choices to feel responsible for your score. The art is exactly what it should be for this kind of game. The music is pleasant but stays out of your way while you’re thinking. and the UI is juicy and visually rewarding. Spot On execution. Thanks for bringing this by my stream.

Everything about this game is just right. The graphics, sound, pacing, gameplay - the game is nearly perfect in every sense. I enjoyed every minute of playing it. Nicely done!

marcmagus 2021-05-02 17:45

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for playtesting! As we discussed, another user had already recommended it to me and I played it on stream. If you’d like to revisit the play and commentary you can view the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006134085

My best score was 400-something... you hooked me for a while! Very lovely UI and gameplay design choices. Non-placeable tiles turning red is normal, but was confusing because it makes yellow and green pumps looked like red pumps; maybe there's a way to clarify that. Overall I found this very impressive, really nice work!
