It looks nice, but even with reading the instructions and playing the first level I did not really understand how it was decided where I can put a tiles.

Nice and well presented game. Good music, pity about the loud beeps which afaik you can't turn off. I do not quite understand all the game mechanics yet, so more instructions would be welcome. I could not figure out why I run out of tiles without the game ending, and why the grey spots sometimes appear only after clicking on a black spot. Also I have no idea what the blue tiles are.

really really fun to play! you had a nice idea ;) simple and fun mechanics

Thanks for the comments, I have updated the notes with some rules clarifications. Unfortunately we didn't get around to implementing the feature to give your score immediately when you run out of tiles.

Nicely done, good graphics. The sound when you place a block is a little annoying after a while, though. I had a difficult time understanding the concept at first, though when I understood it, it was quite fun. Good job!

Great game with really cool mechanics and visuals.
Awesome job!

Maybe allow to place a tile when it does not match the sides in which case it just wont create combo (draw a white dash at the border explaning the connection there is lost). It is worse when i run out of time and the tile i hold can be placed "somewhere"...

Some nice mechanics :)

Took me a little while to figure the mechanics out, but once I did I had a lot of fun.

Looks very interesting and made me curious but I found it very confusing. The visuals, audio, and "feel" of the game is superb, but it was totally random for me when I could place a tile.

Is there a certain amount of points you have to make in each level? Or any other condition to win? Or is it just for the pleasure of making points? Would be totally fine for me but it is not clear to me what the actual challenge is.

No required points for progression, just a measure of how well you performed on that map. We were thinking of implementing a progression system and some more maps, but time ran out.

Very enjoyable puzzle game with interesting mechanics! Grat graphical stye and cool music but the sound effects are quite intrusive...

The bloops are a bit loud, there is an option to turn them off in the main menu though.

I'm confused
but, I think this is pretty good

Looks nice. I can tell you spent some time polishing, it shows. Fun gameplay / experience. Keep up the good work.

I think there may be a render bug when in "level 1 with help" mode. If I swap my tiles, the "helper squares" don't update until I try to place it somewhere.

I'm still not sure how this works, but somehow I enjoyed it.

frederickk 2013-05-09 21:08

great enter, really fun

lasergans 2013-05-12 12:07

Cool game idea :) Like it!

Nice. I think this could be a really good game with a little more polish. Kind of reminds me of Robo Sockets.

Thanks for all the feedback and (hopefully) positive ratings. Check out our Postmortem and Timelapse, links above.

Fine little game. I love such simple puzzlers.

xanjos 2013-05-20 23:53

Took some time to understand how the scoring mechanics worked but overall it was a pretty fun and interesting game.
