Refund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dragging connectors broken on iOS14.

Fun game. Until I upgraded to iPhone 12. Now, the connectors don’t stick to the circles. :-)

Looking forward to future releases

This game has potential.

My chief complaints:
—in casual mode you can’t pause the game and then come back several hours or a day later to resume it.

—In regular mode, there are no hints telling you if it’s good or bad to reuse a node you’ve already made or better to create a new one. For that matter there are no hints or guidelines for best practices. So if you don’t feel like being a game scientist and experimenting with different types of gameplay, (which, let’s be honest, not many people have the time and desire for), this game ends up being a shadow of what I am guessing it is or could be.

Much better with the new update!

Everything seems fixed.

Seems cool

Seems cool, but it’s currently buggy and there’s absolutely no tutorial.

Engaging but buggy

I second the other reviews. It’s a good game but it is pretty buggy.

Cool concept, needs LOTS of work

While this game has a great look and feel, and a brilliant concept, it feels like a version 0.1 that’s had very little play testing.

Bugs:
- periodically nodes will shrink and become illegible, which results in certain death
- sometimes the feeders are feeding but the node I created just won’t pass it on
- often have to restart after playing as it locks up before I can hit Play Again


Shortcomings:
- pacing is horrible, as many others have commented
- situations that are impossible will arise, such as trying to satisfy nine numbers going as high as 10 with only four source numbers with a max of 4... there’s surely math to determine what can be done and in how many ways, but the designers don’t seem to have baked that math into the program

Hoping this will improve but until then it doesn’t feel worth playing anymore to me.

Buggy. But Fun when it works.

I expected more for a game that I paid for but it’s a fun and challenging experience. It’s very one dimensional but this forces you to make hard decisions.

It’s also buggy from time to time which makes it annoying when you have to start over from making good progress.

This is my new favourite game

I can’t rate this highly enough, this game is the best for killing time or to play while listening to music.
The latest update however, causes my phone to vibrate every time I connect anything to anything else, can you please fix it?
Otherwise fantastic game!

Node generation bug

Fun game but there are some bugs with it. One major one is node will not push the energy to the node even though all of the connecting nodes have charged the node. If I have to power a node of 9 and I connect a 5 and 3 and a 1, if all three pulse to make 9, then the game will not push the energy to the 9 node, and the node needs to be charged a second time in order for it to take and push the energy. This always causes me to lose the game.

Needs work.

The game has a great concept and I love the aesthetic of it but there are some major issues that I would love to see solved soon.

1. The pacing is all off. It starts of reaaaallly slow for beginners which is great but I seriously don’t need to relearn the game every go around. Then after 5 years it eventually gets a good pace but that last about as long as a snowflake in hell before it starts going as fast as a greased up roller coaster. Total mood killer.
2. It has the same starting nodes every. Freaking. Game. I know how to play so I’d like you to start mixing it up.
3. I HATE having to skip the tutorial every new game. Like seriously??? Who does that??

Overall: great concept with some poor execution. Fix the pacing to make it more zen (or even give us difficulty options) and then you’ve got a great game on your hands.

Awesome Game, but buggy

I love this game. It's easy to learn, but really tough to get scores into the 500+ range.

I've played this game quite a bit. There are two major bugs: 1. The game freezes about one out of every five times you hit "Play Again", and, 2. I've now seen at least 12 examples of the game not generating "pulses" correctly. Usually later in the game, there will be a large "target" (point value like 11 or 12). I'll draw the lines from the source nodes to create the value needed for the target. For example, I might draw lines from a 5, 4 and 2 to create an 11. I've watched carefully and seen multiple examples where the source pulses from all the nodes come in, but the "11 pulse" never gets generated, causing you to lose the game. I thought at first that I was just imagining it, but I've been watching and have clearly witnessed this multiple times.

Insanely fun, insanely hard

I think this game gets too hard too fast? There’s no reasonable ramp-up. I’ve wasted hours getting to the same spot and dying, but I’ve tried everything and can’t seem to get past it. I second the other reviewers who said there needs to be some kind of alert when new nodes pop up. And a way to mix up your connections while paused.

Basic

The game only includes a single mode: a “highscore” mode. The developers should really add levels to the game. Until then, I don’t think this game is worth more than 99 cents.

Enjoyable relaxing game

I am enjoying the game. It’s a fun game that becomes challenging as you play. I am really looking forward to more play modes. It would also be nice if it was more obvious when a new node shows up. Often I lose a game because one is alerting me that I has no power and I didn’t even realize it was there. Also, it would be cool if you could adjust your connections while the game was paused

Meh.

Starts easy - almost too slow - then quickly gets hard fast. With some practice and thinking, one can learn to survive for a while, but it just gets harder. I found it annoying that while there is an alarm for nodes which aren’t getting enough power, once it’s going off there’s usually nothing one can do - it goes off too late to be useful.

Boring

Please add more modes!

Slower mode needed

Great game. There’s options to go faster. But would be cool if there was an option to go slower. Or like another reviewer said, better pacing you you can just enjoy without the difficulty becoming too overwhelming too fast.

Good mind game for a quick train ride

Similar to a game like mini metro, this game makes you think and use strategies to gain points. Great for a spare 10-15 mins

Shallow even for an immersive game

First off there is no tutorial but you can fiddle with it and figure it out.

Sadly there there just isn’t any depth. I love casual relaxing immersive games and this one is the worst.
