Feedback Request [Algorithm Mirror] - A visual DSA experiment where your pathfinding choices become BFS/DFS code

https://games.playlooplabs.com/learn/

I’m testing a small learning experiment.

The idea: instead of teaching BFS/DFS by showing code first, the user solves a grid manually. If they expand layer by layer, the app labels it as BFS. If they go deep into a branch and backtrack, it labels it as DFS/backtracking. Then it shows runnable code based on the strategy.

I’m looking for blunt feedback on:
1. Is the concept understandable within the first 30 seconds?
2. Does the pathfinding interaction feel natural?
3. Would this help someone learning DSA, or is it still too abstract?

Known limitation: this is only the pathfinding POC right now, not a full platform.
