Very good use of the theme, is kind of addicting you keep trying to find the combination every turn and takes a while to plan, very clever!

Submitted

Very, very fun and addicting. Great job!

Submitted

The concept is really cool! Had a lot of fun playing it! But the music was a bit too relaxing. It made me kinda sleepy :v

Submitted

cool concept

Submitted

Really interesting idea! Pretty fun, although sometimes I felt the RNG was out to get me (I could very well just be very bad at the game) XD. Would love to see it expanded upon. Great work!

Submitted

This is a fantastic idea. I love the strategy element to it, though I could never really figure out how all the blocks worked together.  I think this could make for a fantastic battle system in a larger game. Great work!

Creative idea, I really appreciate that careful consideration produces much much better outcomes than mindlessly slamming down puzzle pieces that fit together. Default music volume is a bit loud, I had to turn down my browser volume.
Also very minor thing but just fyi seems to be some visual artifact on puzzle pieces in my placement option bar to the left maybe some scaling issue on 4k monitor.

I like the idea a lot. But some times when a try to place a piece it you can't.

Like this yellow piece, this was wierd in my opinion. Like the background music, but a bit loud.

Developer

Thanks a lot, yeah the straight sides were added as a balance feature because the game got way too easy without them, something I'd like to refine in the future

really interesting game and i love the idea
also i managed to pull this off so money was not a problem lol.

 but also when i got to the last level and placed a piece the screen went black :/

Haha very nice, it's all about the green combos! Sounds like there's a bug, thanks for letting me know!

Submitted

Super cute art style and the puzzle mechanics are really cool.

It could do with a couple of simpler levels to warm people up to the mechanics, but I picked it up well enough once I got the hang of it.

Submitted

Very nice game! Well done!

Submitted

Really solid all round. Love the concept and just really well executed. Awesome job.

Submitted

really cool!

A  really cool concept and very engaging. I got very into it just after playing a little bit. The gameplay has potential for adding a lot more. Great job on this submission.

What I liked

  • The concept of adding combat to classic cardboard puzzles is really awesome.
  • The theme is clearly incorporated into your game.
  • I felt like the combat system was balanced and the ability to buy a reroll helps ensure that a player isn't put in a no-win scenario.
  • I liked the art and the music (though I think its volume could be reduced.)

Other than the music's volume, this is really good entry. Congrats!

Submitted

I got my ass kicked twice just in the first level. At first i didn't understand the strategy, but after i was able to do better combos

Could be on to a mobile classic here!

Submitted

Wow ! That was so cool !! Really great ideas and well executed, I felt a real satisfaction when I got the exact health number on my attack ! Really fun !

Submitted

A simple, yet fun game to play. I really like the idea

Submitted

Great idea! It might be a new hype game on mobiles)
