### 5/5 — Came from RCE

*2024-04-04, version 1.4.7*

This game is good because it uses simple elements and turns them into simple yet also really hard puzzles and challenges. Overall amazing 5 stars and I had a lot of fun (I’m not even done yet!)

### 5/5 — Beautiful and fun

*2023-08-03, version 1.4.7*

I love everything, the music, sounds, the concept of signals in communication, the puzzles and so many things. Just awesome

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-02-20*

This is honestly the best puzzle game I think I have played in a long time. It’s got simplistic graphics, high quality instructions that make the game mechanics easier to understand, and the puzzles are challenging and fun at the same time.

Only thing that would make the game slightly better would be hints, as some of the levels might be too challenging, but other than that, this game is genuinely phenomenal.

I hope to see updates and new levels in future updates!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-02-19, version 1.4.7*

Great game, love playing it, awesome puzzles, although I really don’t think 3-9 is possible in 9 connections.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t always accept solutions

*2023-02-09, version 1.4.7*

Seems like it will only accept the solutions to puzzles that it knows about. Completed 3-7 with a solution that fulfills all requirements. It game wouldn’t progress.

Amazing quality for a free game. Solid mechanics and interesting puzzle design.

### 1/5 — Not friendly at all for people with vision issues.

*2021-10-30, version 1.4.7*

Interesting looking gameplay. Impossibility small eye strain inducing type with no way to embiggen.
