For those of you who don't speak Estonian (which is over 99% of people, lol, how did I end up here first) - Game's name translates to "Rotating hats". Description says "Rotate hats to create given patterns to conjure up somebody... or something...". The rules in the game say "Possible patterns" to the left and "Press on grey buttons to rotate wizards clock-wise and try to put together patterns.". And "energia" is "energy" (just in case). So those small buttons with rotating arrow is what you're supposed to be clicking on, you're welcome :)
So first of all I will point out that having description in language most of people on planet Earth do not speak is not the best idea. I think it can work as a quirky game's title, but instructions should definitely be in English. I assume that you might have created this game as part of university course or similar.
To the game itself - it's really confusing :'D Even being able to read the instructions I couldn't really figure out what was going on. I was able to "summon" orcs, but didn't understand how I did it and what the heck were they doing and what can use them for. When you rotate hats which, I assume, combine into a pattern, they disappear even before the rotation is complete making it incredibly hard to understand what caused them to disappear. The patterns are here, but a lot of patterns like that are already on the board so it's either they disappear only the instant you create them or I didn't understand what patterns mean altogether. I even noticed that sometimes I would get my energy back and had 0 idea how that happened!
So overall, the game seems to have some potential to be a cool little puzzle with unconventional patterns instead of classical 3-in-a-row or 2x2 squares, but the lack of player feedback makes it basically impossible to understand which makes it unplayable as a puzzle game and you end up just randomly clicking buttons..
