This game looks fantastic! I loved the music, and SFX. Also you added some voice acting when you make a combination and thats cool too. I liked the game title, its feel like a closed prototype that you can improve adding news things. The only thing that need a little more love is the tutorial, hope you continue this prototype! 

Developer

Thank you!  I'm glad you enjoyed it, and yeah, the tutorial could be a little vague, sorry about that. If I do more, I would make a more comprehensive guide on it.

Originally, I actually wanted Griswald to narrate and guide a tutorial, but it was way too close to deadline to do so.

The visuals are really great here, everything seems smooth and right in place! Not a fan of the gameplay cycle though. It seems kind of repetitive (i hope there will be an update that will add some more gameplay variety). But overall this project definitely caught my attention ;)

Developer

Yeah, the current gameplay loop is very luck  based and out of your control, you can technically not even play it and possibly win lol

If I expand on it, I wanna get at least hard drop in so you have more control over the game. I was gonna put it in, but had issues with physics and gamejam date was getting close so lol

I LOVED this game! Honestly played it way longer than I'd like to admit lol

The gameplay was super addictive in the best way possible and the visuals were so so charming and fun! The voice lines also added to it for sure

Overall I'll definitely be coming back to this game again!

Developer

Thank you! I'm really glad that you like the game!

Fun game! I liked the whole presentation, and the voice lines were a really nice touch! 

Developer

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

I am trying to do an HTML build, which is why you may see one up but it not working as of me posting this. Hopefully I can get it up soon lol
