Clojurians Log v2

Hi everyone, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask but I am trying https://github.com/oakes/play-cljc and if I run the command clj -M:dev I have the game running which is awesome, but I would like to connect to the running repl in emacs, so I assumed that if I do cider-connect-clj or cider-connect-cljsit would work but I just see the error nrepl--direct-connect: [nREPL] Direct connection to localhost:35089 failed I am not very experienced with clojure tooling in general so it could be a dumb issue. Any ideas on what is happening? *By the way if I change the code I can see the results on the browser so I am sure that figwheel is running fine
