#22It's got too many rules for a puzzle imo. It does take an overly long time to figure out how it works.

#23The light show at the end gave me a chuckle. Pretty fun little puzzle.

#24It took me a moment to understand what the constraints meant, which says more about how tired I am than it says about the design, which is great! I don’t want to minimize the cleverness of the puzzle design, but I think it’s a visualization of a finite state machine. Not a novel challenge but a clever way to display it for sure.

#25Took me a while to figure it out as I assumed the labels on the lines to be dynamic.
But once I got it, it was super fun to play. I wonder if you can algorithmically generate these puzzles and have human's curate them based on factors (joy, difficulty, visual appeal etc).
Thanks for sharing. :)

Took me less than 60 seconds. I'd say it's a perfect little puzzle. Next one you encounter you know the rules.
I'd argue 2048 is harder to learn and that was a popular game.

#27I thought I had to keep the dog and rabbits separate, which really stumped me for a bit. It would be neat if the conditional statements emphasized and deemphasized based on whether their condition was currently met.

Re: Show HN: I may have created a new type of puzzle
#28I have to say the fact that I was able to figure out how the puzzle worked - what I was meant to do - with no instructions in about 60 seconds is a good sign. I'm also immediately kind of addicted to this....I really like it. The one thing that annoys me is that I can't see what a symbol is if the dog/bunny is on it because it's covered up. It's hard to remember when there's so many. Some transparency or slight desig…
I also like that you can make a few mistakes and still solve it.
Are there even any dead states?

#29Great work, it is very easy to understand but challenging enough to be rewarding. A puzzle once a day with a timer or an action counter to compare with your friend could be quite successful!

#30Great game, more levels and maybe a countdown for animals that will eat other animals (and end the game) if they are left on the same pad for too long.
I disagree about the countdown. It wouldn't change the actual puzzle and arguably wouldn't make the game more fun to play for most people.
