I liked it a lot, snappy animations, good sound design, and overall a fun concept.
Thanks!
Fun game, though you snuck math into my day. Great job!
Thanks!
awesome, i loved it. the whistle sound is too loud, except that i dont have any criticism for this game. the concept is very well done and game is fun to figure out the puzzles. also that coach drawing deserves an award.
Lol, thank you!
HELL YEAH (<- Math major)
It was a bit short and simple for my tastes, only eight levels isn't too long; but I think this is a really clever take on the theme, and you executed it in an appealing manner! Thanks for making it :)

Very cool concept! I wish it had a few more hard puzzles, but I guess they can't be made much harder without some additional twists and the simplicity is a strength of its own :D

Thank you guys! I wanted to find more interesting cycles with just this simple main mechanic and it was definitely a struggle as I didn't learn any graph theory stuff before, so I had to rely only on internet resources and most of the graphs I learned about were either wayyyy too crazy to solve or wayyy too easy to figure out, so it definitely took some research to find those perfect sweet-spot cycles that are just enough for the jam!
I'm impressed you didn't know much about graph theory before making this! Makes me respect your choice to go with that idea even more haha

Very clever concept! The puzzles weren’t really challening for me but I still had fun playing it! I think this game has potential of expanding into more and more complex graphs :)
Thanks! The problem with this idea is that it gets very hard very fast, and the challenges stay pretty much the same, just a lot harder!
I loved this game! Just the right level of simplicity to understand super quick but still struggle when you get to the real puzzles. My favorite game of the jam so far!
Thank you very much! It's very nice to hear
Change the colors of the first and "used" players maybe? But nice theme on top of a node puzzler
Nice suggestion, definitely would add more clarity to the gameplay. Thanks!
Nice cozy puzzle game. Would like it if it was a little easier to tell which players had already received the ball.
Probably should have added more telegraphing there :) Thanks!
Nice an unique take on the theme! I haven't seen anything like it so far. I really enjoyed it. I think the difficulty level is great as well, even though it seems to vary quite a bit, even in the later levels. Good job!
Thank you! The difficulty was specifically a hard part to get right because Hamiltonian Cycles are either way too hard or way too easy to "find". That's why it probably wouldn't work as a full game; the difficulty would get insanely high very quickly!
Very creative take on the theme, I love it! It was cozy to play and I enjoyed it even though my brain steamed a bit :D
Haha, thank you! :)
players don't play as an f'ing team..... smh smh
I did not know that basketball and maths worked together but now i know
As a basketball fan, they have a lot more in common than most people think, haha :)
Best graph theory based puzzle game I've ever played!
Thanks!
Such a good concept! I'll take a maths based game any day
Thank you!
it was a fun quick play!
Glad to hear!
Most unique one I've seen yet, although I still can't believe you made me play a game about graph theory
Games are the best teaching tools ;)
love the concept, very original. The main game mechanic worked quite well, well done!
Thank you!
