Ask HN: What have you created that deserves a second chance on HN?

I made a programming puzzle game that got overwhelmingly positive reviews by the very few people who downloaded it: 42 five-star reviews over 45 total.

I think that anyone who likes hard puzzles and spending many hours/days to solve some levels will enjoy it.

Also, if one happens to be a programmer that struggles with recursion, I think the game might help with that regard, but being a programmer is not a requirement to play.

Your website could really do with some screenshots or a video of the gameplay, regardless of how simple the graphics might be. The AppStore listing is better in that regard, with screenshots for every device that is supported.

Yeah the graphics are a selling point, looks intriguing.

Thanks, I will try to improve the website.

It rarely gets any traffic and almost all my downloads come from the App Store itself. But adding some screenshots doesn't hurt.

This almost seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Perhaps a bit more love will get it some more traffic.

I only have android -- and from memory, android users are more into games..

Could you upload a "let's play" somewhere? it sounds interesting.
