Lots of fun! Great looking and all that, too!
Except the strategy gets a little stale after the second level when you realize that at least one of the colors always has to take a really roundabout way to get to its partner.

#72Whats your business model?

#73Great work. The fact you can play it straight away on the website is great, I'm not really a games player but I quickly got hooked. Out of interest, do you make the levels by hand, or do you have a script to generate them? Would be interesting to know the rules for a valid level against an impossible level.
We made the levels by hand, writing a script to generate and validate levels is still an interesting math problem I would love to tackle if i had the time, its just very difficult from the limited attempt I made.
I really like your landing page. Do you know of any other game devs that have a playable demo on their landing page or did you come up with the idea yourself?

#75I wanted to share this with you guys because it's taken around 3 years of reading HN to really convince myself to quit my job and build my a business with my friends
You should charge for it.

#76Well done. I love that you allow users to try out the game on your site first. I wasn't initially inclined to download the app, but after trying the game I was hooked.
Ditto. Was "meh" on yet another free trial, but one easy click "hey why not" and 10 levels later I'm downloading it, and figuring if addictive enough a buck for more levels is cheap.
It's actually really good to know that spending the time to make an online demo was worth the effort.

Honestly, it was just because I built the initial prototype in html5 and the level builder is also html based, since the effort to make a simple 10 level demo was so low we decided to throw it in.
