It's pretty minimal! I just wish that there had been an extra to turn off the sound to it. That one was actually painful to my ears!

run-windows does not work, you have it pointing to game.jar. managed to get 96% of the screen covered.

drabiter 2013-04-29 07:23

@uprightpath
Noted.

@Phased
Thanks for the info. It's fixed now :)

thirteenwb 2013-04-29 18:30

That was surprisingly fun actually.
Having the percentage there really gives you something to aim for, although I think my 78% in 15 seconds in kinda pathetic to 96% but oh well.
That was a well made game, good job! :)

A nice little game, good work. One note though, the OSX readme still points to game.jar, but it isn't that bad.

orangepascal 2013-04-29 18:36

it sure is minimalistic ! I'm crap at this type of game, but it's a nice one! ;)

drabiter 2013-04-30 02:58

@ThirteenWB
Thanks! your game is good too!

@Merkoth
Yeah sorry, forgot to rename the jar name when exporting.

@orangepascal
I'm crap on your game too, wasting lot time to figure out :) I had to strain myself to keep this minimal.

xgeovanni 2013-04-30 12:07

Sorry, but what are the controls?

shines 2013-04-30 12:13

Like the written concept, but only could try the web port and I kept getting one gray hexagon and the timer without being able to add/split anything.

Web version doesn't work (chrome), doesn't react on anything.
Jar version works, interesting concept.

drabiter 2013-05-01 10:50

@xgeovanni
Mouse click :) Click on the hex tiles so it'll disappear and summon new tiles around. Watch out for the tile stack numbers.

@shines
Yeah sorry. The web port is kinda buggy and unstable. I suggest to try the download version.

@Shigor
Thanks for trying. Fixing the web port :)

Pretty fun, though the sound was a bit grating. I keep seeing all these great minimal games and thinking how much strategy could be added. There's a lot of room to slow this game down and make it tougher, I think. Still entertaining as is, though!

xblinkedx 2013-05-01 15:02

Very fun. Nails the theme well. Quite colorful, i like it :)

drabiter 2013-05-02 05:59

@vandriver
Yeah you're right. Gonna imrpove it. Thanks! :)

@Blinked
Thanks for playing! :)

Interesting concept. Web version seems busted, can't click. Instructions within game or on game page would be helpful.

drabiter 2013-05-02 12:53

@Dark Acre Jack
Thanks. The HTML5 is still buggy, still spending time to fix it.

Not rated so far, web version broken. Can click to select level, but not click within level. Using Chrome Version "26.0.1410.64 m" on Windows 7. No similar problem with other GL apps

drabiter 2013-05-03 14:53

@mrexcessive
Yeah the HTML5 version is not my primary platform. The game itself is for desktop and android. I hope you can play those version for rate. Thanks for trying.

markavian 2013-05-04 10:34

Android version played well.

drabiter 2013-05-04 14:34

@Markavian
Thanks for trying the Android version :)

littleball 2013-05-04 17:09

This is interesting. I took a similar approach to my game, although it turned out quite different.

I couldn't get the Mac version running, but it plays great on my Android. I look forward to seeing the updated version!

juaxix 2013-05-05 10:30

Almost achieve 100% in 30s... simple concept, interesting and fun

@juaxix
Thanks for playing! ;)

oskardevelopment 2013-05-09 11:28

Simple game that keep to the Minimalistic theme! :)

sylvain-p 2013-05-14 15:56

So I have try the web version with firefox...and in the 3 mode there are just an hexagon with 1 inside...and nothing happen, you can just return to the selection menu with right click.

drabiter 2013-05-18 07:26

@oskardevelopment
Thanks! :D

@Sylvain.p
Yes the port was kinda unstable and very random. If you can please try the desktop version which should work on all OS.

cadin 2013-05-20 00:02

Sorry the web version doesn't seem to be working for me.
