I love the original on my iPod touch. The only thing I found irritating in the original was that if you linked power nodes, they counted toward the 3 maximum connections on nodes. I felt that was counter-intuitive, because you couldn't efficiently create a web of nodes. Unless that's part of the strategy? I dunno, I wish the 3 connections only counted toward mining or guns, etc... fishabc Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2010 64 0 0 student #9 fishabc, Apr 21, 2010 look nice! I'd love it.
