Really well executed concept! Functions similarly to the game it parodies but touches on a fundamentally different way to play. Very well designed! Found a glitch where if you die on turn 11, you still get the turn 12 win screen though. Amazing job!

I like the concept, and it was executed well! I've seen one other game like this in the fam so far, but it took a more action-packed approach. I enjoyed having to read the board and guess the adversary's next move! However, sticking to the walls/corners of the board made it much easier to win (I don't know how you would solve that problem with a fixed-size board, though). Some added particles and sounds would make the action more tense. I think this game has potential post-jam!

Unique idea and good execution! It is actually quite tough! but I finally escaped. 

well done!

This is such a smart idea! I really like the concept and the theme is really working well.

I love the mobile game "Two-Dots", it's basically the opposite of that. Well-done, my friend!

Gosh is this hard! Usually I'm not that bad at match 3 games, but here, there's something playin' with my brain haha I die all the time!

Good job, good idea which fits the theme, good execution, overall: really tasty! Bravo!

Nice to see another game that reversed the match-3 genre! We were considering making ours more puzzle based like this one, but opted instead for a more arcade style game - but it’s nice to see that both approaches can be equally fun!!

Had a good time with this one, adding in the power ups for the player is a cool idea :) I did find that hiding in the corners and occasionally teleporting to the other side was the best strategy, but it’s tricky to think of ideas to force the player out of the corners.. maybe if you could only get mana if you were closer to a match? Or you lost mana if you were in a corner?

Out of curiosity, what’s your AI’s algorithm for figuring out which pieces to swap? Is it random or is it trying to get the optimal swap?

Awesome work on this!!

Really cool game. I like the mana and ability system and I think with a few more abilities and refining could make it even better. For adjusting the difficulty, maybe you could adjust how many different colors there were (fewer colors would create more possible matches and more difficulty, while more colors would create fewer possible matches and a lower difficulty).

Interesting, you have to think outside the box, well done!

It was pretty interesting! Had to think for this game and the art is really cute and simple. Great job!

Quite hard but in a fun way. Awesome :D

Very clever and cute minimalist design ! Great job ! 

Fun game, unlike anything I've played before. Favourite color at the end is a nice touch :D

Maybe a bit too easy, and corners possibly too good, but I really really liked this! Fun concept 

I had fun playing this! I quickly went to the board's borders and was biding my time til the turns run out, stepping back and forth. Abilities are a fun concept, but I barely needed to use them, as there was no threat to lose, really. Looking at other comments (with people finding it too hard), maybe some settings of difficulty (even two: easy/hard) would improve the game.

Cute and well-made! I think I got boxed in pretty quickly (though I'm not a match 3 player really). You could let the monster spend mana to see more rows up than the computer player can see to give an edge too.

Really clever idea! Satisfyingly challenging and very cute

Wow the game is really good. Amazing job!

oh wow, this is incredibly creative, very entertaining, and also looks and sounds great! awesome job!!
