Looking at the screenshots I thought it would be a puzzle about connecting plugs into their respective sockets, but no. It turns out to be a game about shortest path navigation, which is where it kind of lost me.\n\nMaybe with more mechanics (the oil is a good start) this could become interesting. You came to the same conclusion too so... Do continue working on it, if you have the time. The basis for something enjoyable is there, no doubt.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"uzyfeo","author_uid":"1036824","time":"2017-08-01T12:11:02Z","epoch":1501589462,"modified":1501589500,"text":"This game is definitely something that could be built upon!\n\nIt just needs some more mechanics as it is pretty repetitive... But the idea is there and that counts :) \n\nPlus definitely work more on controls. One thing is hard controls and another are kind of broken (and this fall more to the second category in my opinion as I had few bugged instances when I was turning without me holding the key etc. )\n\nI surely had fun, graphics are fitting and you have one of the best UIs I saw at any game for now so kudos for that too :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Kosmo","author_uid":"1009614","time":"2017-08-02T02:41:58Z","epoch":1501641718,"modified":1501641718,"text":"Well made, good graphics and fits the theme.  One thing I didn't fully understand was how turning was supposed to work?\n\nIn general I found that I had to hold turn down way before I actually wanted to turn and then it was hard to stop turning.  However, I could 'rewind' and then all of my turn 'momentum' was gone which made things a lot easier.  Not sure if this was intended or not.\n\nThanks for the game!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ajayajayaj","author_uid":"1000026","time":"2017-08-02T05:06:33Z","epoch":1501650393,"modified":1501650406,"text":"Wow, this is amazing, easy 5 star!

It gets almost addictive, and some of the levels are either too hard or too close, making each little turning mistake cose the entire level.

I think the controls make it a little too hard for my taste, and some music would help a lot, even if it's not made by you.
