i like the slick minimal ui. would be interesting to get some speed bonus as to me the most fun was trying to solve them quickly

This is not a "new kind of logic game". This concept is called a Hamiltonian path, and such puzzles are in many video games, with my personal earliest recollection being the Sootopolis Gym puzzles in Pokemon Sapphire (2002).

Needs difficulty modes, or a steeper curve. Too easy for too long.

Pretty good.

Your LLM hallucinated that you vibe-invented a new game. It wasn't original when The Witness built a full-length console game around it. Three dots means no undo, no bulb and first go. A later run can raise a rating, never lower it. Remarkable how unhelpful, unclear and generally bad the copy is for how polished the other elements are.

This is definitely not a new kind of logic game—there are a lot of versions out there.
