Really clean aesthetic and I like the general contextualization of everything around network and packets.
I think the current levels don't really use a lot of the tools in a very interesting way, encryption is something you're always going to put in the right nodes and the pathing is very obvious a lot of the time. I was expecting a stronger focus on puzzles than I feel is currently there.
I'm not sure how I feel about the hacker mechanic, it's a more active thing to do than this type of game usually involves which isn't bad in and of itself but it's also very one note right now.
I'm interested in seeing what additional levels post jam will bring to the table as I do think some of the foundation is pretty nice but it's not used as well as it probably could right now which is something just further iteration should naturally improve.
Thanks for the review! I agree with you on the levels thing. I had a very busy week so I couldn't do this game justice during the game jam. I'll definitely work on it more after the game jam ends to add more levels and mechanics.
Very interesting take on the theme, I like the relaxing atmosphere you've created. Very Mini Metro vibes.
I would have liked to have seen the connections play more of a part in the puzzles but I did get to see a bit of that in the last level so I'm happy. Nice work!
This game was very interesting, and even though it was pretty short I still had tons of fun! I love the idea of delivering data packages, it was a very unique twist! I hope you keep developing this game because I would love to see new levels added. Felt a lot like Flow Free but with some twists. Overall incredible game and very fun and cozy!
Awesome, relaxing experience with the soundtrack, but still has some peaks of frantic excitement. Reminded me of mini metro but in a streamlined jam form. Excellent jam experience with effective tutorial. I would have liked to see one or two levels that forced me to think more carefully about the pathing, since it was pretty clear which nodes needed to be encrypted and what the paths should be from the start of each level.
Thank for the review! The game is actually a bit inspired by mini metro. I really wanted to add more levels but I ran into a major WebGL issue (I didn't know WebGL didn't support multi threading) so I had to burn a lot of time fixing it instead of adding levels. I'll definitely be adding more levels once the jam is over.

Like the simple artstyle, would love to see more levels added later. From what i played this far, i feel like this could turn into a great game.
This is probably the best game I played so far. The calm and chill atmosphere, the minimalistic visuals, the music, the unique connecting-based gameplay that's network-inspired, that's all I really have to say. You're not really rushed to do anything, and the game even lets you go at your own pace, and there are even certain color palettes that you can choose. Powerfist, you really deserve that many more views. 4.5/5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
Also, if you would check out my game, Delivery Berrie, and rate it it'd be very nice of you, and I would very much appreciate the feedback! Thanks so much! ❤️❤️📦📦🎮🕹️
Thanks! I really appreciate it 🙏❤️
The game is great although it could use a couple more levels and it will make a great release. If you have any spare time could you give me some feedback on my game.
Love the Idea! The Colour schemes combines really well with the minimalist design. Overall great submission
