really fun and effective design that I could see being a really addictive mobile game , with that perfect "just one more game mentality"

Developer

thank you :)

Submitted

I managed to get 72 pairs, after multiple playthroughs, and I had a lot of fun sorting through socks to find the right one! A fun game, with a simple concept and solid execution. Good job!

Developer(+1)

thank you, and good job :)

Submitted

I REALLY enjoyed the "Where's Waldo" like gameplay. I really got into a groove and played a lot of rounds just to beat my high score!

Developer

glad you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

I got 56! Great job with this game. It was a lot of fun playing fast and frantically looking for socks. I found I didnt really need to move socks around ever because I could always just look for it and then click since there werent really many "piles". But it was really well executed and the overall presentation was great!

i see that as more of a positive, really. having to dig through lots of piles just for that one sock sounds stressful for me. thank you though :)

Submitted

That was fun, my highscore was 46, add a timer to this game and it a perfect little speedrun game

Developer

i don't think you can really "speedrun" this game, but a timer that tracks how long you've managed to keep up might be neat. thank you :)

Submitted

Nice! Stressful! The brown ones were hard!

Developer

when i was designing that brown sock, i didn't think it would blend too much with the background, and if it did it might be a good challenge. now, i think those socks might blend a bit too much to it. i might change it for a post-jam version, maybe. thank you :)

Submitted

I am ok with some being harder. That makes it more tense when you need to find one

Submitted

Incredible. This is a classic "odd one out" game, but it's really well done. The socks have more variations over time, the timer doesn't reset all the way, adding more challenge, the socks can hide behind each other, you can move them (nice touch)... excellent work!

Developer

thank you for the kind words :)

Submitted

Loved the music and sound effects! Fun little game! :)

Developer

thank you :)

Submitted

I was legit angry at myself for being so unorganized with my socks!

It's very well designed, though I think the timer is a bit too short, so you can't really "look" through the socks, once you get stuck on one buried down somewhere, it's too late and you lost.

Got to 54 at most and each time it was "i'm doing great" and then one sock gets buries somewhere and I don't have time (even with full timer!) to look at more than one pile and I get rekt.

Overall, awesome game, took a simple idea and executed it to the fulles, hats off!

Developer

the timer moves faster once you go on. while making the game i didn't think the timer was going to be a bit too hard, but now i think it might be a bit too fast... thank you for the kind words though :)

Submitted

Very fun, very chaotic. The music is also great and adds to the experience.

Developer(+1)

thank you :)

Submitted

Who would have thought my fave so far purely for the silly fun.

Developer(+1)

glad it was one of your favorites :)

Submitted

Looks very clean and polished! Simple and on point. Fun game :)

Developer

glad you liked it :)

Submitted

Very well done for your first jame. Music and art really fit the mood and its really fun!

Developer(+1)

thank you :)

Submitted

Well I never thought matching up my socks would be this enjoyable. Thanks!

Developer

you're welcome :)

Submitted

Nice game, I had a lot of fun. The art and music were great, and it’s easy to pick up and play. I feel like there should be a penalty for clicking on the wrong sock, and maybe something to prevent too much of the details of one sock being hidden by another? I really liked this on the whole, nice work.

Developer

i did think about putting a penalty on clicking the wrong sock, but felt it might be unfair since later on you really have to drag some socks around if the correct one is just buried underneath lots of them. thank you :)

Submitted

Good Game. Fun little concept.

Developer

thanks :)

Submitted

Cool and hectic! My eyeballs hurt! (The good kind of hurt.)

Developer

thank you, hope your eyeballs are doing okay now :)

Submitted

So simple yet SO addicting! The art, sound, and theme of looking for matching socks all come together so well, great job!

Developer

glad you liked it a lot :)

Submitted

Nice, simple, and arcadey! The sound design really adds to the experience.

Developer

glad you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

Nice, this is really elegant!  The music and sound effects are really soothing in a nostalgic way, and the concept is simple yet really addicting!  

Developer

glad you liked the game :)
