Excellent all around!
thanks a lot :), glad you enjoyed it! :)
Great visuals and presentation! Well polished game.
Thanks a lot :), I appreciate it.
Incredible work. Havent gotten past mine 2 yet but i noticed on mine 1 after some time bombs stop appearing. If you rset they come again. But i bought more coins three times and no bombs appeared and then i reset. But you did and incredible job putting this together. Its brilliant.
The types of explosives are linked to the size of the matches, starting with dynamite on a match 5, bomb 6, of type match dynamite on 7 and above. So if the play area gets clogged with Stones, then it's hard to match. My strategy tip is to use the Reset button to clear out the grid, and start a fresh, get some new explosives form easier matches, then blow up more stones! :).
Hope that helps you on the way to the Danger Mine! :D
Also,.. thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you like it, and it's really useful to get this feedback off players to help me know where things could be clearer :). I appreciate it.
Such a great game, I don't have much feedback because this is such a well-polished game :)
Very well done :)
Thanks! I really appreciate that :). I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great game. So much of a goal post for what I will want to do in future Game jams.
Thanks a lot :), i'm glad you enjoyed it!
5 star review here, I honestly have nothing to say about bugs for this one, great game, a true winner and a beast for making this one!
Wow, thanks so much Underdog! i appreciate it! :)
what a polished match 3 game! You also managed to squeeze in a lot of level design here, good job!
thanks so much :). I'm so glad you liked it!
Well done, polished match 3 with some flair. Suggestion for improvement would be to animate the gems falling in after a match.
Thanks a lot, im glad you enjoyed it :).
I had a delay effect on the gems dropping (with a wait for seconds delay in the loop), but found my machine struggling to deal with that when it had to do the whole board, and slowed down gameplay. It's something i'd like to try again though.
As it was i decided to go for faster smoother gameplay, rather then waiting to long for drop animations. I need to find a better answer though.
But yeah, i'd like to improve and fix that if i can.
thanks for the feedback :)
One of my favourites, really well presented in the visuals department. While I can't say the gameplay is my jam, I did appreciate some features you added. With a bit more polish I can see this on steam.
Match3's aren't everyones thing :D, but i'm super glad you still enjoyed it even so :).
And that's very kind of you to say, thanks a lot!
Super Game! Loved the visuals!
Thanks :). I was fortunate to find some very nice free Assets i could bring together and theme.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Nice and fun match three game.
Thanks! :) Glad you had fun!
A very good game! I love this kind of games and they are difficult to find in game jams!! Polish and with very good visuals!!
Thanks very much :). I had to balance new features with polishing in the last few days, decided to focus more on polish the set up i had.
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for playing!
Soft mood. Like the difference between Panning and Cave. As said, the 'panner' image could be a bit more dark/contrasted.
Glad you liked it :), thanks for the feedback!
I loved it.
It is quite a fun game, with very good music and cool mood.
I love the way you're teaching us, the players, new game mechanics.
Anyway, I would change some few things
The first is to make the gem fall animations a little more animated. It needs some work.
The second is that let the game detect by itself that you cannot do more moves. To make a reset by you when it happens.
The third and last is to let the game to make some move suggestions to you, when you don't move for some time.
Thanks for the feedback and appreciation :).
All good suggestions.
I initially had a delay to the gems dropping down individual, giving more of a dropping down feel. But it was slowing things up, so i ended up taking it out. But something i'd like to improve moving forward on this project.
Auto reset, and Match suggestions are things i'd like to implement, but i ran out of time to implement that. But again, something to work on for future version :).
Thanks again! I hope you make it to the Danger Mine! :D
Oh, I already did it :P
Very, very well executed!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Absolutely amazing game. Played this one on a live stream on my youtube channel and everyone loved it as well. Great work.
Thanks! was great to watch you play as it made me realise some things i could make more clear!
Great chance to see some play testing in action! i appreciate it!
Wow. You are born to be Game Dev.
Awww :D thanks :
Nice job! This turned out really well and I can tell you spent a good chunk of the two weeks on this. At first I didn't understand the matching system because additional blocks were disappearing when I matched, but once I figured out that adjacent types also cleared, it really opened up. That's not a typical match-3 thing, but I really liked it. Gave the game a lot more relaxed feel compared to your standard match-3 fare. Well done :)
Thanks :). It was a pain at the time to wrap my head around getting the matches to work that way, and initially i wasn't sure if it was the right thing gameplay wise. But i'm glad i stuck with it.
Thanks for the feedback, i appreciate it!
Really fun game to play and cute. Though please don't force website directories in button clicks. Especially hidden ones when trying to hit Quit. If you take that out, I'd definitely be playing this a ton.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the feedback.
I had thought the force open of a wiki was a great idea,... but it seems i was the only one :D. I've disabled that now. Thanks for the honest feedback on that.
I hope you come back and make it to the Danger Mine! :D
Love the gameplay and that you set up an achievement system. Will be coming back to play again.
Thanks! Glad you like it :). I hope you enjoy the ending after completing the Danger Mine! :D
