Really neat puzzle game - love the soundtrack too! Hiding some parts of the puzzle so that you have to zoom is interesting as well.


 I sadly had to stop after a few levels - I have a slight color blindness and I think for that reason the yellow/green colors hurt my eyes when I tried to differentiate between them :( I'd give it another go if you could maybe add a little more contrast between the  different colors and the blue ones background.

Beside that - really great idea and execution ! Nice scope for the 3 hours too

Sorry to hear about your condition. I will make this change tomorrow morning. Does making the background white work? Or are you having trouble differentiating between the different balls too? 
I have a total of 5 levels btw. first 3 levels with <= 3 hexes, and then two more complicated ones.

Thanks -
It‘s just differentiating between the yellow and the green colors. I think just making the green ones a darker shade should be enough. I usually don‘t really notice it at all since it depends on some conditions.


I’ll give it another go in the evening  if you find the time to make the change 😀

Have added a color picker. This should solve your problem. Thanks!

Thanks a lot :) Now I cleared it. I found it interesting that there was an actual learning curve and in the last level it was more like  "okay, now I got it - just balance out one after another" which was very statisfying to do.


It has a lot of potential too. I think you could easily expand upon the idea by introducing more rules or adding  symbols or formulas and it could go quite a long way. I almost but not quite remember a game with a similar "sorting puzzle" concept that I played a few years back. Hm

Glad you liked it!! Can't say I had any particular game in mind as a model for this one.

Impressively designed for such a short timeframe, the last two levels really took some thinking. The dragging is a bit finicky, and the audio is too loud, but the core puzzle gameplay is really good.

Glad you liked the levels! I replicated a major chunk of the code from a larger project.

Good puzzle game! Took some thinking about, and it took me a while to get my head around the rules. Audio was EXTREMELY loud and obnoxious so definitely not one to open if you have headphones on, but the gameplay itself was good!
