Fun and new. I both like and don’t like that I don’t know which actions are going to be effective. Strategy..

Congratulations on the release! Took me a minute to figure out it shows you which color laser you are going to get next. Only passed one level so guessing more to learn with 120 levels. Thanks for sharing.

I'm in Europe, the game does not seem to be available here.

You think you have it bad?

I'm in Europe, on Android, had to walk uphill both ways to get here, running Firefox nightly from two weeks into the future, and eight foot deep in snow, barely staying warm by the light of the flamewars.

DropZap! Blast from the past, congrats on the new release. Not available in Europe though.

Looks cool. I wish there was an explainer video, I was not clear how I beat the first level and I didn't realize there was a move limit until I ran out on level two. If all the numbers at the top had labels, it would help.

Also would be cool if there were sounds. I don't know if that's just because I am playing on my Mac, but it feels like something is missing with all these lasers firing and blocks being destroyed that there is no audio.

Congrats! Did you document the development at all?

The development involved a lot of experimentation with the game mechanics. It felt like research at times.
