Really fun seeing a game in the Motherload genre. I play these things to death. It's actually fascinating seeing you take it even farther into "casual" which is great because this kind of game can get overwhelming pretty fast. I beat it, which is a surprise to me as LD games tend to be fast and I don't want to sit playing them too long. The game sort of pulled me in. I wish the controls weren't so floaty/slidy. The art and presentation suggest it would work better with faster movement or snapping to the grid (maybe a soft snap, which you slide into place fairly quickly). Either way I didn't want to slam into pixels quite so often and think the experience could be improved with another pass at the controls. Overall I had a great time and as a someone who has poured way more time than is healthy into digging games such as this I give it a great big thumbs up.

Wow. Really awesome concept, well executed, good sound track, immediately understandable, and a beautiful marriage of genres. My favorite game so far. This is not a once-and-you're-done kind of game.
My only critique is that I think for readability you need to have every game object lerp to their new positions. I know classically turn-based games are cool jerking from tile to tile, but (A) 2018 and (B) there's so much moving on the screen it's difficult to get a sense of velocity from one turn to the next. Lerping would solve that problem nicely, I think.
I really enjoyed this and will be showing others. Great work!
