I like the style of the gems (being colorblind-friendly is nice). I wish the randomization was tweaked so the player wouldn't lose without it being their fault.

One thing I don't understand is: the jam started on November 1st, so how is the Android version's last update from September?

The buggy portion is very hard, but the normal one is fun. just might be need relaxing bgm.

Fun game!

Graphics and sound are well done. I had fun playing, but I think could be next level with some fine tuning. In fact I could see myself playing this on my phone if it were tuned. 

Not sure how to play in buggy mode.

Thanks for playing. The buggy mode is not supposed to be played. It pretends to be a buggy piece of software.  The game is available on google playstore to play it on your phone here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matchrush

What kind of tuning would you like to see?

> What kind of tuning would you like to see?

It felt like I was at the mercy of randomness in shapes appearing moreso than skill in being able to play the game. For instance, in several of the times I played through a third shape didn't appear until the rows were almost at the lazer, so I was unable to match until then. It feels crummy when you lose to something you don't have much control over.

These are the types of things you find through endless playtesting and having others playtest your game.

There's actually a leaderboard! I like the graphic and the music too. One small advice... can we make the clock automatically used if touching the red line?  i wasn't expecting it to explode... (maybe i should read the instruction). 🤦

Polished graphics. The buggy mode is currently fun to watch but tough to play. I would recommend making this mode look the same as the other modes on first appearance but, upon completion of a match, something unpredictable occurs (faster scrolling, changing other tiles etc.)

Good game very polished but quite hard. I think it would be nice to have a couple of "lifes", so we don't loose at the first mistake.

Nice game! It was harder than I thought, fun to play and a bit addictive.

Thanks for playing! The buggy mode is ment to create unpredicted behavior in the game. Bugs can be interpreted as problems in computer software.
