This game is deeper than I thought… or maybe I need to touch grass. Good game, it could use other colors easier to the eye and also the background kept blinking, not sure if intended (maybe slower?) or a browser’s bug. I’m curious, why isn’t there a NE and a SW move?

1. Blinking is a bug yeah. See point 3.

2. Hmm maybe the colour palette is too much for a calm game? You're not the first person to mention it.

3. I ran out of time to fix some serious bugs and complete the movement logic. I started the game jam a day or two late for personal reasons, so I was playing catch-up from the start. 

I rushed out a hacky solution to a lot of things and I'm now inundated with technical dept. It turns out iterating on hexagons with a moving window in 6 directions in 2 dimensions in C is as about as hard as it sounds x3. I've never done it before so I didn't know. 

I have my friend to thank for pushing my out of my comfort zone with this one. I've definitely learnt a lot and I got something out it that is solid for what it is.

4. Thank you for giving my game the benefit of the doubt, it's really nice to hear. If I have time, I'll put out some patches to fix some of these issues in future.

I think the text is a bit difficult to read and it seems to not merge things sometimes when I expect it to. Six directions would also be nice. Otherwise, cool game! I will now go touch grass.

Nice idea! The background music is really relaxing.
Would have loved to be able to shift the cells in all 6 directions, and the background seems to flicker a bit, but otherwise nice game!

Needs a graphical change cuz it hurts my eyes, otherwise a fun and calming game to play (nice music choice too!)
