Thank HN: The puzzle game I posted here 6 weeks ago got licensed by The Atlantic

I posted Bracket City to HN on February 24th and the game went live yesterday on The Atlantic (!)

The game will stay free to play (and not require logging in). Also, I'm still making all the puzzles!

HN provided the first real infusion of players that weren't my mom's friends. So thanks everyone.

FWIW The Atlantic's team is amazing and got this live exactly 2 weeks from when we signed the deal.

This happened quick and I feel very lucky. The HN community of solvers keeps me honest with much helpful technical and editorial feedback. I love it all -- here or at mayor@bracket.city

Congrats! My only feedback is that it's irritating to be counted "wrong" for naming a correct answer whose clue hasn't been simplified completely yet.

I see that as the core point of the game! Would it be a whole lot of fun to complete the game in one guess?

On the other hand I like when I can ‘skip ahead’ and then try to reverse engineer a trickier inside clue.
