This game, while incredebly cute and enjoyable, felt slightly confusing on the gameplay front to me. While I definetly had fun with it, I felt like I wasn't really getting enough feedback from the game to understand why things work the way they do. I understood how many friends I still had to help, and how many strings I had left, but the number of strings seemed random to me. While sometimes having like 8 and therefor being able to get the usefulness bar up to probably about 3/4ths, on some playthroughs I was just left with one string for each, managing to earn a score of 2%.
Upon further investigation I realized that the game seemingly does not always properly reset after a round, but only after a page reload, only giving you the amount of strings you had left from the round before. While this is understandable for a jam game, wheather intended or not, it as you can see caused a great deal of confusion for me, as I was a bit too focused on the centre of the screen and presumed a return to the title screen would mean a reset of my resources.
Now me going on about that may sound like I didn't enjoy the game, so let me correct that by saying the concept is intresting, the art charming and the game overall is just really enjoyable. I had a good time with this, even while being quite confused for the first half of my time with it.
