Would love to see a more polished version of this game. The concept is super fun!

Developer

Thanks for playing!!! There'll be a full version, someday, just wait :)

Submitted

Nice concept you got there! It fits the theme of the jam perfectly. I'd like to see a full version of this game with visual effects and sounds, good work! 

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'll make a full version, exactly don't know when, but I'll make it! :)

Submitted

Please, please make a full version! Such a great concept!

An animation showing the pieces do the actual loops would be very cool and visual feedback on blocks being connected or not would be great. But in the scoope of a GameJam this rocks!

My favorite idea from this GameJam so far!

highscore: 8967771 errors

Developer

Oh wow, thanks!! Glad you liked that much! :D
I can't tell you exactly when I'll release a full version of this concept since I'm currently working on other project, but yeah, it seems is worth developing more this concept so it's very likely that I'll make a full version, hope you're there to play it ^^.
Also, thanks for the advices, I'll take note of them!
And WOW, how did you get so many errors!? It must have taken you many attempts, I thought no one would beat the game since you have to be very lucky. GG!

Submitted

The concept is interesting! I agree that it could use some more balancing. I only reached ~3000 errors after receiving a very lucky set of blocks. Still, I enjoyed this!

Good work!

Thanks for playing!! Yeah, if I make a full version I'll work a lot on the balancing side ^^

Submitted

I really liked this a lot. I played for a good while, but was unable to beat it! It would be nice if the inability to snap gave a visual cue. Maybe a grayed out, or red highlight on the piece you are trying to snap. Other than that, I thought this game was very innovative, and each play through was different, which kept me playing for quite a bit! Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked that much :). Yeah, it's very difficult to beat, you need a very good RNG since there are some blocks that combine perfectly and others that almost don't generate many errors, so don't worry if you didn't beat it.
Oh, I didn't thought about the visual cue, you're right, that would help a lot so thank you so much for the advice :D

Submitted

A little tutorial would be great. Good game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!! Yeah, you're right, but as a prototype I only made the most essential part of it

Submitted

very good game, would love to see it fully fleshed out, i just felt it lacked a tutorial, i never got anywhere near the goals.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Maybe I'll do a full version on the future. And don't worry about not reaching the goals, since the game is pretty unbalanced sometimes is nearly impossible to generate more than 800 errors and sometimes you can generate 60000 errors with just one code, so it's normal to not reach the objective

Submitted

Very fun! It obviously needs some balancing and sounds but, like you said in the description, it's just a prototype so I can understand the lack of it. I'd love to play it again in the future if you decide to continue working on it!

Developer

Thanks for playing! If I see more people like the game maybe I'll do a full version on the future; I already have some ideas, like introducing items which will make you change the way you use the code blocks, and obviously more code block types

Submitted

Very interesting, very unique, and very niche! A must try for someone code for hobby (a bit too much if you code for work and already burn out with it).

Developer

Thanks for playing and the comment! Yeah, if you code for work maybe an if statement is the last thing you want to see on your free time, but at least here you don't have to fix bugs, more like create them (on purpose) hahahha
