In Tutorial, when being instructed to place the 8th-grader, it's not clear that it should be placed on a specific tile out of 6 (?) highlighted. Took me some clicking around to notice that small green arrow against greenish tile and realize that.

Later on, same hiccup with "Now press forward". Green smallish arrow against cyan background next to green header pointing at green field... you see where I'm going.

All in all, while this is not something that I'd play, it appears to be really well done and it leaves great first impression. Congrats on the launch and here's to hoping it will make you rich, healthy and happy! :)


I clicked like 50 times thinking surely this is broken. Then finally figured it out.

Also, I kind of wanted to play, but was annoyed that I had to type in a username and password. I am so tired of typing in another username and password. Just let me authenticate with something else if I'm too lazy, please!


I had the same issue with the tutorial. Looks very polished, too. Congrats on launching.


Also, having the modal boxes jump around is kind of annoying.


Same here. If you transition one into another - fade out content, resize and move into new place, fade in new content - and do it quickly (200-400ms), you'll get nice continuity and better flow to the tutorial. But as others have said - great job as it is!
