Very solid core mechanic that's a nice twist on traditional match 3 gameplay.  Minor note - I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to change the color combinations at first, but once I did I had a lot of fun working through the solutions. Great job!

Love how polished this gem of a game is (no pun intended)! I like how everything about it, from the text to the font to the graphics are all cohesive. The gameplay is simple, tight, and on-theme. It's definitely challenging and I did not make it all the way through. Like people have said some music would definitely add to the experience. Well done and looking forward to see what you make next!

Congrats on finishing your game! This all looks and feels very polished.

I love me a twist on a match-3 game. And this has some really cool potential. But I don't know if it's the puzzle design or just the mechanic, but it felt incredibly unintuitive. I played through 6 levels but I'm not sure I understood how or why I found the solution each time. I sort of used trial & error picking different combinations until something just "worked". I'm still confused on it.

I'm not sure if there's a good solve for that other than just... more time with the game, both developing puzzles as the developer and playing the game on my side. 

A great little jam game though. And clearly a lot of polish went into making it look and play solidly. Well done. Keep making games!

I can't get past 1st level, but still, one of the best puzzle mechanics I've ever seen. Great job.

Cooles puzzle game. I enjoyed it! I wonder if it would be better if you could select the colors and the resolve it instead of immediately to resolve your choice.

Really enjoyed this very clean art aesthetics. Woould be nice with some gentle chip tune music maybe. Also I was a bit confused what to do right at the beginning but later on understood and It was super tricky but fun! Well done guys!

I've been stuck on level 8 for over 30 mins now and just can't seen to get a hold of it. Regardless this game was very well done. The idea was solid and executed well.

Deceptively simple puzzle design with unique controls and a friendly retro style.  Feels like an instant classic!

Learning how to operate the board was satisfying, getting better at reading and planning the patterns felt awesome, and the level variation was beautiful!  Gemuinely exceptional!

Amazing puzzle! One of my favorites so far, I spent way more than I had planned playing this. Level 10 was tough but beating it was incredibly satisfying, how do y'all come up with these puzzles hehe, it's so clever. Great work on this one!

Took me a bit to figure out how to play, but a really strong well made concept! Impressive with such simple well-polished controls that its so perfectly challenging. Very satisfying when you clear a level, well done.

It's simple but really well made, the graphics are really good for an engine like it, and the levels were cool and all.

Nice. Must have been hard to create the levels.

I love it! The level design is very challenging yet engaging and finding the answer is very satisfactory

I normally don't really enjoy puzzle games, as I find it hard to complete them, but I gotta say the art and SFX really are awesome!!

but I will say I got stuck on level one and kinda moved on. 


Great project through!

I love the title lol. 

The art, sfx and feel just seems so polished - this is a really solid puzzle game. Although the tutorial was a lot of text, I really liked the line "you'll see what I mean" and it encouraged me to figure things out on my own. I'm a little braindead when it comes to puzzles but the moment I understood how the game worked I felt like I ascended lmao.

I can't critique the puzzle designs themselves too much because I rarely play them let alone make puzzles, however they were really well thought out and required me to think on them for a bit.

This was a really solid submission! Good luck for the rest of the jam!

The puzzles are really hard, but its well designed and a super cool idea. I love it!

The graphics are very beautiful! And it feels very polished. The puzzles were a bit hard for myself, but I still enjoyed playing them!

Oh the last one befuddles me! I really like this concept and I wanted to see more, but this time in a more forgiving learning curve. Level 5 and 10 both stumps me hard because I’m still not used to clearing mid-flight.

Either way, really awesome!
