I had a blast playing this! A tutorial would be a nice touch, but when you get the hang of it, it is very fun. Great game!

Game Dev Experience?
5-6 months (but with some computational physics background, during which I coded mainly in julia/python and a little in c++ )

Social Media?
https://github.com/NeurodivergentGames

Selected Challenges!
Alone... I guess: the source of inspiration for the game was some variant of solitaire, the pinnacle of games you play when you are...alone!

Another Dodging Game

BlankManifoldDeveloper3 years ago

Thanks! Nice to hear that you perceived the gameplay as quite easy to understand! I was a little dubious about some details about the gameplay and the rules of the game (indeed, I added anyway that small animated tutorial).

Fantastico un solitario che ti prende ma allo stesso tempo ti distende! Colori e touch armoniosi... 👏👏👏

I love the colours on this, they really add to the relaxing vibes. You should definitely release this as a mobile app at some point.

Slime time (wip)!

BlankManifoldDeveloper3 years ago

Thanks a lot!

In fact, I think that, after some tweaking, some addition of more level/game mode, and some polishing (and of course a lot of bug fixing), it could be a nice challenge for me to try to upload it to google play!

I played it on my iPad (over the browser) and the controls felt great. The colours give off cozy vibes making for a relaxing experience - nicely done

A Fungus : Infinite Fly Buffet

BlankManifoldDeveloper3 years ago

Thank you so much!

Nice to hear from an iPad user because I was not able to test it on tablets and I was worried about some scaling problems...
Can I ask you if on the iPad the game start on fullscreen or not? If so, did you notice the main grid (composed of the blocks) to be too big ( for example overlapping the UI buttons)?

A.H.P.T. (Autonomous Human Protection Technology)

BlankManifoldDeveloper3 years ago(+1)

Thank you! I agree, as now the game is quite small/short!

Fortunately, I structured/wrote my code in a quite general way (but not as much I would like, primarily because of the deadline) with respect to colors number, rows number, win/matching condition, block shapes, etc... So, in the future, I think I will be able to expand it a little bit without going crazy!

Nice game! I feel so calm after playing this, thank you :)

BlankManifoldDeveloper3 years ago(+1)

Thank you! Nice to hear! Indeed, calmness was always present in my mind as one of the base elements of the game!

This is really really good! The art is on point, the sound is great, the music is chill. Great Job! Please release a full version! I really wanna play on my smartphone!

I think I'm... Lost

BlankManifoldDeveloper3 years ago(+1)

Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm glad you liked it!

Most probably I will work on it a little bit more in the next few days to fix some known bugs and add some stuff (obviously these updates will be uploaded after the voting deadline). Then, I think that the game can be is easily extended to make it a bit more varied, captivating and complete!

For now, there is only the apk file for Android and maybe in the future, I will upload it on google play (quite good learning practice). But I have never tried to export for iOS...
