I like this! Wish the steps were an area divisible by 3, it was a disappointment for me that really only 9 things could be placed on each step. Getting things to collapse point was brilliant.
Nice enough map,
but it felt a bit like painting-by-numbers.
It engages the player, it paints a pretty enough picture, but it is by no means art.
At no point in the map was there a need to think, plan or strategize, as there was always only one possible way to advance.
And yes, the 11x11 squares are a PITA to work with. These add to player frustration while contributing very little to the game.
With 1-cost to build power and relays and weapons, and a means to get a relay link to the middle islands, they were quite superfluous.
