Great job.

One small piece of feedback would be to translate the moves into pictures that can be understood at a glance, rather than reading full sentences.

Positioning the moves across the bottom of the screen might also speed up readability.

thanks for playing, we will try to keep in mind to enhance the UX a bit in our future jams

Nice idea and a fun game! For some reason, initially I though you shouldn't let the blocks reach 100 (or it will be too much to control), but that's probably just me.

I like having a timer for selection, so that you have to read, imagine what each of those options will do (approximately) and chose all in this short amount of time. The options themselves are also interesting, like putting monsters that you know will destroy some blocks a few turns after, or swapping colors so your whole setup look completely different now and now you have to change your strategy. I also like how sometimes the selection is very narrow, and all your choices are kinda bad, and you need to chose the least bad one (e.g. when choosing which blocks to kill).

5/5. This is fun, very original, and indeed fairly out of control. This game deserves many more ratings.

Wow, I'm shocked at what a good game this is. Really fun and fast paced! I enjoyed it a lot. I don't think it fits the theme super well.

surprisingly this is the game i gave the highest rating until now! i had a lot of fun and felt so smart the entire time. i would have wished for a possibility to turn off the timer, because i my adhd made it hard to read all of the text and comprehend it and understand what kind of impact it will have within such a short amount of time. the art is very fitting and simple and i am just a big fan of the whole concept!

I'm glad you liked it so much! We thought about readability as well since we are all non-native English speakers, but did not have enough time to change them into more accessible icons. Anyhow being hard to predict kind of meets the theme "Out of Control". Thanks again for playing our game.

Simple and fun. I would welcome just a bit more time for each action, especially when the board starts filling up. But great job! :)
