Thanks! Yeah, maybe I should cut it off at some point haha! But I think part of the fun is playing it multiple times and trying to improve the number of moves it takes

Show HN: I made a free daily puzzle game

Carom is a free daily puzzle game I made where you slide pieces through a grid to reach the goal space. Pieces slide until their movement is blocked, so the challenge is in utilizing the walls and other blocker pieces to your advantage.I’ve had the idea for this game for years, but Claude Code and some time off of work have given me the tools and time to finally build it out — I’d appreciate...

This is awesome-- feels very original, the UI is polished and "juicy", and I really like the level progression.

My only small feedback is that I felt a bit of conflict in the different scoring systems: am I supposed to be solving as fast as I can, or in the fewest moves, or to get the most stars? That all may be an intentional design choice though. Really great game.
