Visually, it is nothing special, but it does the job. I had to try a couple of times to understand what has impact on what, as it was not clear from the beginning. Even after I understood, I didn’t manage to pass the first level.\nHere are things I would suggest to improve the game:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have a tutorial or more visual clues to help understand what has impact on what</li>\n<li>Have a shorter first level so it will be easier to get familiar with the game, and give the satisfaction of finishing at least one level\nOverall, the game mechanic is good and after I understood what I was supposed to do it got interesting, but the game is not easy to understand and very challenging from the beginning.</li>\n</ul>\n"}],"results":{"primary":{"i":117,"n":200},"label":"Overall"}}
