Hi, Kevin. I also dislike Match-3's in general, but I think you succeeded in giving this an interesting twist. At first I assumed it was like other Match-3's where you could only move 1 square to an adjacent square, and only if that move would clear spaces (though in those cases often shapes besides 3+ horizontally or vertically can clear spaces). It took me a few tries to realize this was not the case here. I'd suggest a little more clarity about that in the instructions. Good job in any case!
