Good challenge, I wish I was not starting at the beginning after failing.

almost feels like quick fire osu, its fun! i like the music as well. im really bad this kind of game though so i felt the timers were really punishing, i couldn't get past level 8. having an easy mode would've been nice!

Although I read the tutorial, it took me longer than I would have liked to understand how the game works. Finally when I did, I realized that the UI was a little bigger than my screen and no matter how much I used itch.io to expand the screen, it always got a little buggy. But other than that, the game is a lot of fun and the idea is very interesting. I only advanced a few levels because my browser is kind of slow and after 4~5 levels it gets really hard : /

It took me a few tries to understand what was actually the goal of the game, but once I did, I managed to get through the levels fairly quickly. The graphics and presentation were quite good! My main point of feedback is that the levels are quite unforgiving, and if you miss a single dot, you basically have to start back over from level 1, but in the end I managed to make it quite far through the levels. Great job!

Nice game! I think my mouse sensitivity was a bit too low for it, but it was still fun!

Great game. Could definitely see myself playing it for a while with random levels etc but as is was still a lot of fun

Solid work. Like others, I also didn't understand what to do at first. Specifically I didn't get that the icons at the top were showing the order I had to connect the nodes in. That would have been helpful information to have in the tutorial. But once I understood that, the game was quite fun. I liked the music, which gave the game a chill vibe even as I was frantically trying to connect the nodes. The timer is quite quick, but I liked that as it made the game a real challenge and made it really satisfying when I managed to get further. Really solid game I enjoyed. Great work!

neat game! brutal to have to restart from the beginning each round! nice touch with the encouragement dinosaur.

Very face paced connect the dots style game. A little frustrating to have to start over again if you fail once, but... :shrug: that's how it goes when you want to see Bubbles. :smile:

More challenging than I expected ! I wish there was some way i could understand new puzzle elements without having to restart from scratch if I failed though. Nice job :)
