Great idea, it reminds me of a poker game like this mechanic. I always like to play games like that.

Thanks so much for your kind words - and also, thanks for directing me to a bug in my logic! You're right, sometimes after a clear the game doesn't realise that there are now more possible moves. I've fixed it, and will release it a post-jam update once the jam is over :)

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Yeah, I used a shader to do random vertex displacement on a 20fps timer
Here's the code if you want it: https://gist.github.com/TomTirapani/597b1583e68da1edf8785e9360b3684a

Oh no, you're the second person to say the online version doesn't work, sorry :( What OS are you using, Windows? It works fine on every browser / OS combination I have access to.
You could also try the download version if you have time.
This game has a really nice feeling. Everything is smooth and feels right. And the mechanic is addicting.
One exception is that the rule are too harsh.
For example, I would expect I can either put a red/green dice or a dice with 4 in the blue circle. But I cannot put anything in that position, not the red 4 nor the green 5.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, I agree it could be bit more lenient - I had trouble coming up with a rule that would work in all situations. In the end I decided that you have to match *all* surrounding dice was easiest to reason about - if you just have to match one, the game actually becomes *easier* as it progresses :|
(btw, in your example, you could put a GREEN 4 in that slot, since it would match the right dice by color and the top / bottom by value.)
Thanks for playing! The music was a lucky find over at https://incompetech.com/, they have some really great music there
