Great job incorporating the theme! This is a really unique puzzle game. Great job!

I've never played a game like this before, but I really love it! and the visuals are great too. It definitely fits the 'Unstable' theme well, well done! :>

Agree it could use more of an interactive tutorial, but very cool and fun gameplay loop. Good take on the theme. Had much fun trying to explore the dark space. Including achievements of different kinds could help provide more of a reason to keep going for longer. 

Check out my game if you get a chance 😊.

Really interesting concept! I really liked the idea of building and stabilizing the network, and seeing it grow as you progress. The visuals and atmosphere also fit the concept really well.

I did struggle a bit at first to understand the controls and what I was supposed to do, but once I got the hang of it, it became really fun. I think with a bit more polish and a clearer tutorial, this could be a really great game. Nice work!

Developer

Thank you so much for such positive feedback! Yeah, I didn’t have enough time to properly polish the project, but I’m still glad that some players managed to figure out the controls!

I had a hard time figuring out what to do at first, but after a while I got into it. It's a really interesting idea, and it was quite fun to play!

Developer

Interesting game and exciting gameplay. Very unstable and quite chalenged game:) I like it

Developer

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Great work! The connections link the theme nicely and it was hard to stop playing! I got an understanding early on but maybe a bit more tutorial is needed! Great game!

Rate my game?

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah, there’s always more that could be improved. Yes, I’ll rate your game.

Interesting concept! The unstable‑network idea is super cool, but yeah the controls and the intro definitely need a bit more clarity. Once things clicked it was fun to mess around with, and the vibes are on point. Curious to see where you take it if you keep developing it. (pls play my game)

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yes, I’ve already played and rated your game))

Interesting concept, but the controls and the basic introduction needs work. Good work on the vibes though. 

Developer

Thanks)

I like the concept, and it's entertaining. I would only improve the feel of the controls; with the mouse, the triggers or inputs sometimes fail, and it's not clear what gesture the game requires until you've played for several minutes.

Overall, very good!

Developer

Thank you so much! Yeah, unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to polish it((

Really cool concept!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I like the concept. I wish there was more guidance on how to play the game control wise. Like "Click the node, then click and drag the direction" kinda thing.. But I like the incremental feeling and the growing feeling of the network. Super cool concept and idea. It's definitely something I'd play more of if it were fleshed out a bit more. I like the intro a lot. And the whole unstable network idea works well.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing))

This was really fun,my connection died right when I got a stable connection but from what I've played so far I def enjoyed it. Like the intro as well.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed it. It definitely could use a bit more polish, though!

Submitted(+1)

idk if this would be considered a bug, but when it told me to connect the severed part of the network, I died while reading it. 

Developer

Yes, that’s a bug. I’ll look into it. Thanks for pointing it out!

Developer

I checked it, and you were right, it was a bug specific to the third monologue. I forgot to pause the Game Over timer while it was being displayed. Thanks again for pointing it out, you really helped!

I'm glad I could be helpful!
