Wow, very promising game! Congrats! I did the whole thing.
My biggest issue is that it's pretty confusing. I did feel pretty satisfied when I beat a level, and it really felt like *I* found the solution, but I wouldn't really be able to explain how I got to that solution.
The trajectory of the little data bubbles isn't really explained very well, the tutorial says they "never take the same path" or something, but that's not really it. they just alternate between each available path.
My suggestion, make it possible to pause at any point (or slow down time or something) so the player has time to know for sure where each bubble will go, and how to influence that trajectory with nodes.
Also, there's no quick "reset" button, kinda frustrating to know you'll lose but you have to watch the bubbles slooowly take the wrong trajectory.
That's crazy, I made this little game SEVEN years ago, how did you end up here? (I think that's because I've submitted this to GMTK jam by accident before removing it, but it's really unlikely you played it during the 10 minutes it was submitted haha)
Anyway, thanks for your feedbacks! I may feel nostalgic about this game some day and decide to do a sequel with nearly +10years XP in game dev. Interesting idea!

Finally, congrats on the narrative!
Hello!
Thanks for playing!

hahaha, it was part of my queue. So YES, I played this during the 10 minutes it was up.
I swear, some games fit the theme less than this one.
