Create the largest network of worlds. Add the new world to the existing network by clicking a world that is already in the network. But such that no two adjacent worlds have the same color. Also, a world has a maximum number of connections, the remaining number of possible connections is shown as a number in the world. Furthermore, connecting lines may not cross other lines but they may cross worlds.
The game is written in javascript and uses the html5 canvas. For optimal performance, I would recommend chrome.
I'm looking forward to your feedback on the game :)
*edit: Thank you for your feedback, I will be updating a post-compo version. It can be played at http://dropproxy.com/f/90E
fun minigame for sure! Not sure the purpose of the time element because I view this more as a thinking game then a reaction game? other then that, its pretty enjoyable! good mobile game! GJ!
Simple is beautiful, sometimes. This is neat, really nice puzzle concept and actually quite hard to not end up crossing existing lines. Well done! (worked great in Chrome)
Very nice idea! I'd love to have something like this on my iPad. I agree with TeddyNashor, it would make more sense that the game starts off populated with more worlds and no time limit (or at least a game mode option), then the player will as "what's the most optimal way to connect these?" rather than just reacting to each new planet that spawns.
Also the way you interact with the UI to connect worlds doesn't feel right, I thought you had to drag-click to connect.
I love the concept. But a bit more sign and feedback would be cool, for instance a line from the new node to the mouse would show what you are linking, and if you can link to node. Also i think the timing is too fast.
I like the timing element, really. Just could do with a little more indication of where the new one is - I think the pressure would be enough even so. Fun, regardless!
Creative and simple, I had fun. Good job. I would definitely have liked an indicator of where the new world is. Sometimes I would lose half my timer looking for it if it was a tiny one that appeared on the other side of the screen.
Nice game, you definitely succeeded in making the player feel under pressure when time is ticking so fast :) It would be nice if the size of the world would mean something, e.g. the number of remaining connections.
Very fun. I wish the new dot flashed or something because I lost a few times because I could not find it until it was too late. Also, a leaderboard would be great.
Hi there... Nice mechanic. After a while finding the new world - when they are all minute - is the real problem... perhaps flash it for 1/2 second after placing ? Shame no sound. Good job!
Fast-paced puzzle game that's surprisingly fun. I think however that the newly spawned worlds should be easier to spot - maybe blink or pulse for a second or two after being created so that the limited time can be spent trying to find a good planet nearby.

The timer's too fast. Aaaaaaugh! :D
