Extending the interface so that I can rearrange the shapes I placed last time rather than start from scratch would make experimenting with setups a lot more pleasant. I wonder if there is some visual cue which could be used to make the direction based on modulo-4 more comprehensible to the player. A good tutorial would also go a long way!"},{"author_name":"M2tias","author_uid":"40135","time":"Apr 24, 2016 @ 8:47pm","epoch":1461530520,"text":"A really good puzzler! Very tough puzzles, but the kind that I can just figure out if I really want to put my thought into it. It looks clean too, I could imagine seeing this bundled in some windows 3.1 puzzle game collection :D\rOnly bad thing about is the tutorial\/introduction part. It might be a bit hard to understand for some people."},{"author_name":"thedashdude","author_uid":"41894","time":"Apr 24, 2016 @ 10:26pm","epoch":1461536460,"text":"@Sixteen you need to use all available figures, including the lines.

The puzzle is fun, but it took me some time to figure out how it worked, a proper tutorial would be nice. Too bad I can't give you a score for the graphics, because even though simple, they are actually really nice."},{"author_name":"qu2","author_uid":"87890","time":"Apr 25, 2016 @ 12:10am","epoch":1461542700,"text":"I think you've got some really interesting ideas, and I like the game. I would suggest dropping the whole "modulo 4" thing though, it's more confusing than it needs to be. Why not just cycle through four shapes? Or use colours?"},{"author_name":"Theseus101","author_uid":"89298","time":"Apr 25, 2016 @ 12:42am","epoch":1461544620,"text":"Very innovative puzzle game, but the lack of color, sound, and an easier to understand tutorial dragged down the overall score. I would look forward to what it could be in the future, great start!"},{"author_name":"dalbinblue","author_uid":"13960","time":"Apr 25, 2016 @ 11:30am","epoch":1461583500,"text":"I got stuck as well at level four until I scrolled down and read the comments. You may want to add a note in the description text above that you need to use all included shapes.\r\rOther than that, an interesting puzzle, though a bit difficult to get one's head around at first. I'm trying to think of some other indicator in the level that doesn't require adding up all the edges just for speed. Perhaps color coding the pieces as well (each color is a direction) will help players quickly see what's going to happen when the level starts running."},{"author_name":"BluShine","author_uid":"30611","time":"Apr 26, 2016 @ 2:18am","epoch":1461636780,"text":"Also got stuck on level 4. I didn't realize that you had to use all the shapes. Definitely needs some kind of indicator to tell you the total number of shapes that you have left to place. The scrolling interface isn't really intuitive, I would have preferred some kind of drag-and-drop interface instead. Also, I agree with other comments that some kind of visual indicator would have been useful to see which way a shape is going to go. It's hard to tell the difference between penta- hexa- septa- and bigger n-gons. \r\rThat said, the puzzles were still pretty interesting. Not too bad for 24 hours."},{"author_name":"mitya1234","author_uid":"62494","time":"Apr 26, 2016 @ 6:14am","epoch":1461650940,"text":"The rules are really hard to understand"},{"author_name":"jk5000","author_uid":"50889","time":"Apr 30, 2016 @ 9:01am","epoch":1462006560,"text":"The idea is great, but make a better introduction."},{"author_name":"nihilaleph","author_uid":"49665","time":"May 1, 2016 @ 3:34pm","epoch":1462116540,"text":"Wow such innovative puzzle!
