Background image is distracting, otherwise, very good ! It could be gamified with points and fish reproducing, like try to find a way so that users have to maximize some kind of goal while making tradeoffs. Like city building games

Game probably needs some way of making the player feel more invested in the game. Maybe you can only place so many particles per day, and then you have to wait until the next day. Or you can pay to get more particles now.

If you could pay for some bonus materials that would be great too. Though I'd rather unlock them randomly from a kind of loot box system.

And how come I can't level up? I don't feel like I'm making any progress without an XP bar. Clearly this person does not understand game design.

I think you're being a bit too critical for what just seems like someone's fun little project.

Clearly you don't understand Hacker News comment design.

The two responses to your comment missed your sarcasm, so perhaps some of the onus is on you as well.

I usually like to get to know someone better before we start talking about my onus.

My dude - I think you have mistaken this website with www.reddit.com

Clearly HN is head and shoulders above that other web zone.
