Immediately made me think Minesweeper. Which I can see after playing does have some similarities. \nMad props for creating a puzzle game for a jam. That's still something I've not been able to pull off.\nNice UI, nice file size. And nice marketing ;) cheers!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"cppchriscpp","author_uid":"1010334","time":"2019-05-05T01:42:38Z","epoch":1557020558,"modified":1557020558,"text":"Nice puzzle game! My inner nerd definitely enjoyed that one, and I managed to get through all 9 puzzles. (Nice addition of the 5th line for the last one; took a little extra time) Just challenging enough to get me thinking. The mechanics were clearly explained, and worked the way you'd expect.\n\nIf I had to nitpick one thing, it would've been nice to have a way to speed up the puzzle solving - it certainly wasn't a dealbreaker, but it felt a little bit drawn out. \n\nOverall a great entry!
