console logs show complaints about no ImageIO library loaded followed by "image not found"
here's the diagnostic report: http://pastebin.com/tBsKzQL7
Is it just me or is the level shown in the last screenshot here (the one with the waving purple lines) hard as balls? I'm not sure if I'm just bad at the game or if this level is borderline unbeatable. You don't have control over which planet you're orbiting around, so it's a matter of absolute memorized precision, while previous levels allowed for some experimentation and leeway in figuring out your own path.
I wish that level would be more open and not require that frustrating level of perfection. I don't know what comes after it because I could not beat it.
There is a way to beat level 3 in a cheap way though. It makes getting 3 stars much easier. As a hint, consider using the first bottom anchor to find an alternate path.
Thanks for the feedback though! Much appreciated!
@avidgamerNino - thanks! I enjoyed the rec - we were thinking about multiple attraction sources but didn't go too far out of the core mechanic. It's cool to see another game with it built in.
I like One button Game, and this one is great !
