It seems to have been a while since you worked on this, but some feedback:
The pre-made puzzles feel randomly generated. I'd like to see puzzles that have an "intended solve path". For example, a puzzle that teaches a technique, or one that has deductions that nicely lead from one to the next. Or even just a puzzle that looks like something.
When you right-click a tile to see what affects it, it would be nice if there was some animation to the purple tiles to draw the eye. It can be hard to tell exactly which tiles have changed colour, especially when the view has to zoom out to show them all.
On that note, I'd like to not have to hold a button to see these. Physical disability can make holding buttons difficult, and this game requires a lot. Perhaps a click to toggle would be better?
I'd also like a way to see which tiles are affected by the current tile, not just the other way around. Just as a visual reminder.
All that said, I love the ruleset. It's a very clever game. I hope you finish it.
Edited to add:
Please wait a moment before showing the win screen, or have it out of the way somehow. I want to see the final animation as the colours fall into place. It would be satisfying!
You have undo. What about redo? I often accidentally click undo too much, and I miss what I undid, which can be confusing.
The font reeeeally hurts one's immersion in the game; it looks visually way too bland/basic for such a great, sophisticated title. It'd also be nice to have a way to deduct placeholder numbers in hexagons, like with Ctrl-Clicking or something.
What an absolutely great (beginning of a) game! The hexagon tile transition, the amazing background that you could sell as a moving background (are you selling this!?), the soothing soundtrack! Love this game! I gotta play more!
I tried the mac version on Catalina in windowed mode, but neither tutorial nor Easy mode levels work. I immediately get the success window (for the easy levels) and for the tutorial windows I see nothing. Any ideas?
Recently, sometimes when i load a saved game there is additional information. numbers indicating how many lines are in a column/row show up that were not there before.
Random Puzzle: Advanced Large. Happened on 2 different puzzles. had 2 others that I saved and came back to that did not change. like the 0 and 2 where definitely not there before i saved it.
Another small QoL improvement I just though of... Once a hex has been settled (all paths around it marked true or false), if there is a manual "0" inside of it, it would be nice if it would disappear. I always end up manually having to click several times on each hex to remove all the zeros, otherwise the whole thing becomes littered with them.
Or maybe make it an option? If a hex is fully settled and the manual number inside it is 0, it's completely useless to keep seeing that 0.. Even faded out I'd still manually remove them I think.. OCD and all :P Kind of in the same realm as when special hexes are fully settled, they stop showing up purple on other hexes when you right-click on them, since they don't contribute anymore
Edit: It's not a huge deal though.. Very minor QoL thing
I'm playing my millionth game right now (rounded up) on expert, and I thought of one feature that would be nice to have.
I never play by trial-and-error, I only click on paths when I'm sure of it, and I end up clicking the "Clear mistakes" button after every single path I click, to make sure I didn't miscount something, which is getting a bit annoying.
It would be nice to have some sort of option to automatically mark mistakes as they happen, like a small "X" on the path, or a different color or something.
Great! Would also be nice with the same option (or another one) if the numbers we set inside the hexes were also shown as wrong, although I'm not sure how that would work since we have to cycle through the numbers.. Maybe mark it wrong after a delay of a couple seconds, or after another action happened?

Best logic puzzle game I've played so far. Keep up the great work! 5*

hmmm ok. were you seeing this on the static puzzles, streak mode, single random puzzles or multiple of those?
if you could check what the seed of that one is (its in the pause menu now) that would be great

good point, I'm not sure id want to automatically remove them, but I can at the very least fade them out like I do with the outer path hints

That's a good idea, I can definitely add that as an option for people that prefer, I'll add it to the list.

Awesome game, I've played countless hours since getting it!
Super logic system, very good execution, overall an excellent game.
You call this a beta, but to me it's already perfect, good job!
Thanks so much! means a lot, glad you are enjoying the game <3
