Hmmm...I kinda like this. I especially like the sound effects and the game over music.

I could only figure out the one very simple rule about adjacent symbols. Not much else...

Great audio. Even though you didn't make it.

acidninja 2010-12-20 06:12

Actually I did make all of the audio. I used Fruity Studio and a number of plugins..

If you can only see the matchx3 rule, play a bit more to understand the combo rule, it's clever :)

Music and sound effects were amazing

Atmosphere (audio/visual) is great, the pacing is a bit weird though - it takes a long time to die.

Top notch audio and atmosphere. Kind of hard to see if the yellow symbols were flashing or not.

Well presented and with a good core mechanic (I assume that horizontal and vertical colour or shape matching were the only ways to trigger destroying the shapes?) that forces you to think tactically - very nice. But yeah, not that related to the theme.

I didn't actually get it but shooting around was fun and I got some points!

Can't rate high on theme, and I don't enjoy these kinds of combination games. But the audio is gorgeous!

The game is good, but for me the concept is not new, and there is no real discovery going on here: just looking at the game a few seconds let you tell what you have to do. The soundtrack is really good, though.

I like the atmosphere you created with the audio here.

Hmm.. The rules I could deduce are match-3 by color or shape. Also I have no idea what the charge-meter is for. I filled it but nothing happened.

Nice touch. =] The sound effects were awesome.

TOTALLY digging the audio, 5 stars on that front! :D

Took a little bit to get all the nuances of the gameplay, but it was fun when I did. Enjoyable game, nice graphics and effects.

Couldn't really find the discovery theme in there, pacing was a little slow and it wasn't exactly the most 'original' game I've ever seen. Also, it took FOREVER to charge the bomb, and when I finally got it charged I was a little disappointed with the result. It was useful, but I wanted something a little more spectacular for the amount of time I put in charging.

Fun though, good overall, nice job. Killed a good 20 minutes, and will probably play again sometime in the future :)

This was fun, I liked the sounds it made, and the cool glowing rune-like shapes.
