Sound and graphics were really nice too. I liked the loop to level 1 :D\n\nI would add an ability to move your placements without starting from scratch (click and drag?). I would also allow the player to \"try a simulation\" without forming a full loop, so they can test timing, and not clear the solution after a test. That would speed up the iteration process, which can be a little tedious sometimes when you just want to adjust one thing at the end of the cycle, and you have to re-enter the whole thing again.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Chaosinism","author_uid":"1010066","time":"2020-10-06T04:18:25Z","epoch":1601957905,"modified":1601957905,"text":"A very creative puzzle game.
