Budget makes it a bit more challenging than when I playtested it in IRC. Like the mechanic alot, with more time this could be a really cool game.

Interesting mechanic. Found some of the sounds a bit harsh on the ears. Pretty good overall.

"Have you ever wanted a career as a bridge builder?"
YES
"Do you want to go to space?"
YES!

I liked this one. Would be a good one on the go. Took me a second to get what was going on but after that it was pretty easy!

Really cool game mechanics :)

The hard levels were not hard enough, but it's not easy to create and balance a game in 48h.

Fun game, didn't take long to figure out the best pattern to solve all the puzzles though - I liked the budget mechanic because it made the game require a little more thinking than it would have without. Would be good to see some more difficult levels.

Cool idea for a puzzle game, and it looks nice too. :) Sounds were a little sharp, but overall, I really like it. Not sure I really understood how to stick to a budget though, can't figure out the last level. :)

A very strong puzzle with the charm and playability of 2048 perhaps! I could easily imagine the smartphone app to play when commuting, for example.

(And its a bonus you're in Iceland as I want to expose that part of the map in my game, so thanks for that service too!)

Nice game and the tutorial explains it well.

Neat innovative game. It's missing a bit of challenge currently, but if you had more time for level design, I think it could become very interesting. The budget thing was a good idea to prevent you from abusing the 10+ rule.

Interesting matching mechanic. I suppose any 9 you create will end up as a dead end?
I didn't beat all the levels, but liked those I beat. Had to think carefully when the bridge had to be split to reach multiple goals :)

Very smart concept! Good thing I'm up on my math. :) Interface is very polished as well. The whole thing feels very clean and finished.

Nicely done tutorial. I am never able to build a tutorial for an LD game.

Very clever mechanics! I enjoyed playing the tutorial levels, they ease getting into the game. The level design is good too, the progression is smooth. Great job!

Nice little game, with quite a few missions to keep you busy :). Like the little visual effects like lights flashing and asteroids rotating. Well done!

This is a really neat idea! I agree that the budget mechanic probably is what makes it work, it'd be too easy otherwise.
