Wow you brought a whole new dimension to the match-3 genre, this is super fun to play. Though a little frustrating on level 3, got to admit. I couldn't get more than 2 bones on that one :/ But all in all, amazing game! And love how you incorporated the theme!

Very fun, I think I must've played for an hour trying to get past the level that requires 15 bones

Clone ShipThis is really good. The mechanics you coded is superb. Must have been really hard to get it working so well. Excellent game.

Camp Death - InitiationNicely delivered. Sound and music were nice matched to the atmosphere of the game. I liked the mechanic a bunch. Honestly, I hope you continue to polish this one up.

Event Horizonwonderful execution, feels like it is right on the verge of being publishable as is to an app store somewhere! Could have played for hours (almost did!) loved the innovations on match 3 (at least what I know of it, I don't have a lot of exposure). second level having not full grid added new strategy, when and where to fill with dirt and graverobbers really had me thinking.

GDTV 2022- Vanquished Blood MoonI played this for like, half an hour. I would have played even longer if I felt that it was balanced such that winning was always possible, but I started to have my doubts x) also there were some bugs where multiple things would fall in one slot and cover each other up. But I still tried again and again because this was really fun! And it looks really good, too. Excellent work with this game! The music and art style work very well and the gameplay is addictive. I got to the level where you needed 12 skulls, and had the flower items. Despite a few little bugs and scaling issues, (the how to play on full screen was covering up some text) this is a really impressive entry, especially for one person alone.

STALLThank you so much for the kind words, Maya!
Yeah, there were a few bugs that I was having trouble reproducing in testing (doubling up, or bones just magically changing other pieces into bones!). And you're right... there wasn't any guarantee a level was finishable. I tried to counteract this by making the clear requirements significantly lower, but it only lessens the sting when you get a failed board. I think it's missing one more 'tool' for the player to use to feel better, but a simple reshuffle feels wrong. Certainly something to noodle over if I decide to add more post-jam.
Thanks again for playing <3
Wow, this was the most addictive game I've played in this game jam so far!
I was really impressed with how well-made this was, and by the depth of strategy involved. It took me quite a few tries before I had fully processed the instructions and knew what I was doing. Really impressed you managed to get this made within the jam duration.
I eventually got stuck on the level shaped a bit like an 'H', even though I really wanted to get further. :)
Great graphics and choice of music too! Well done!

Chipthis is a really addictive game. I was supposed to test different games, when I started playing this one and it took 30 minutes ... that's great! it is refined in every way, I am delighted.

ProjectPonyHello fellow GDTV2021 jammer.
Nice one! It even mostly works on mobile - just adding a reset button and it'd be perfect for playing away from the computer :)

Lost in the StarsA very simple but addicting design. The blocks are drawn beautifully!
It really surprised me how difficult the game can be given how simple the ruleset is. Great work!
