I tried to play it without instructions, couldn't achieve much. I then read the first instructions (how to interacct) so I joined everything like a crazy maniac, nothing happened. I read the last part of the instructions (what to do / how to win) and started doing something. After 15 attempts I gave up ..; frustrated to not have fully understand the logic behind the values changing xD.

I must say - as strangely as it may sound - I loved it. Yes, a lot of work remains on the UX part (not art, just feedback information, why does things happen and how) but there is a mine sweeper vibe. With some work on accessibility, it could even reach the level of simplicity of 2048.

You first game in a game jam? my god! wish I did as well on my first one xD. All the best!

I MADE IT - after 18 attempts !!

Thank you for the feedback. It took all I had just to make the game playable. Once the Jam is over, I do at the very least want to increase accessibility.

Neat system - definitely something you could make something cool out of with more time and assets. :)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. Maybe it’s an idea I can expand on after all.

FIRST! I GOT VICTORY (its like an empty toothpaste tube, you have to push all the small numbers together to get the last glob for your toothbrush

The game is good but needs more intuitive instructions! The theme resonates well.

You can try to do some sort of display technique instead of numbers. As soon as I saw the numbers I was very afraid to even move the tiles as if I would break something. 

I would also suggest some hints or maybe a little autoplay at the start so the player knows what to do. 

Good job! Finishing a game takes work! You have done well.

Thanks for the encouragement. Once the Game Jam is over, maybe I'll see if I can make it a bit more intuitive.

To be honest I'm surprised the prototype is even playable.

The instructions were really unclear so I didn't really know how to play it.

Developer

I am sorry, do you have any specific questions so I can write more specific instructions?

I think maybe you could have explained the boost feature a bit better and sort of explained how the colour values worked other than that it's pretty good for your first game.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. I tried writing more comprehensive instructions.
