Being able to zoom-in could had been very useful as sometimes it is hard to see the connections.
\nAlso adding some powerups in some nodes would make room for more strategy.
\nGood work

I had a little trouble getting started and understanding objectives, but I think clicking around and mining nodes was the main point and that seemed to work. I eventually got stuck and couldn’t traverse to the remaining node to mine it, so I got stuck.
\nNice job overall - I didn’t find any obvious bugs or playability issues.

\nThe visuals looked great, although it looked like there was some emoji which didn’t render correctly
\nI completed several levels without really understanding what I’d done
\nSome sounds would be good
