I thought your ramp-up was nicely paced and I liked how every time you introduced a new element that it was set up so I could just run it immediately to see what that new thing did. If you want to polish it up further, aside from sound effects, something that might be nice would be some feedback for which tile I was mousing over before I placed something, just so I don't accidentally misclick. Also, individual undo or click-to-remove would be nice on levels with lots of placed elements. Nice job!"},{"author_name":"nine baobabs","author_uid":"46614","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 1:09am","epoch":1418173440,"text":""I'm not an ambiturner!

Also, digging the background colors.

The mechanics are solid.\r\rI didn't really like the steps restriction.

I'd suggest putting an animation on the step counter when it ticks away or have it change colors as you get close. I wasn't aware it was important at first (and likewise wasn't sure what the puddles were doing). Really solid game design. If you decide to work on it some more, I'd also suggest giving more pieces to work with than necessary so there can be an additional challenge of trying to find the optimal solution.
