Great concept! Incredibly difficult!

hazel-bun 2013-08-24 07:03

This is a fun little game. Reminds me of minesweeper haha!

2013-08-24 10:51

Nice game, I would make the game end when there are no more green/blue/black squares on the board.

Neat game, the best score I got was 23, but I'm on a laptop, so...

jalgames 2013-08-24 15:44

I really like that game. I reached a score of 42 (yea!) on my laptop*. But some graphics rather than colored squares would be nice.

*It has a touch screen:)

zephyr89 2013-08-24 18:54

57 on my second go.

thirteenwb 2013-08-26 15:22

Hah this was actually pretty fun. I need a better mouse if I'm going to do well on the hardest difficulty though :(
Good game nonetheless!

Fun little game.

crashbanito 2013-08-26 22:05

A fun little title. I can imagine this being rather hectic on a touch device.

andrewshouldice 2013-08-26 23:13

Neat! Yeah, this would be neat on a touch device. Reminds me a bit of the Molyneux curiosity cube.

josriley 2013-08-26 23:14

Really fun little game, even if you don't consider the more stringent time constraints. I got to a point where there were no more squares to click, which was an awkward 3-4 seconds, but that's probably my only real (and minor) complaint.

paulsinnett 2013-08-26 23:18

Really good idea. This game would be great on mobiles.

littlethor 2013-08-27 08:08

Interesting game that can become a little addictive! Squares that change colors by themselves could add a little more difficulty and fun.

fede3751 2013-08-27 14:28

Great idea! :)

sittaman 2013-08-27 21:01

holy hell, great one. I got a bit confused, because you said green squares are rare but I found my screen filled with lots of green ones, after clicking on some I realized I was clicking the orange ones... blame my colorblindness lol, good game!

sh1rogane 2013-08-27 21:02

It is a fun little game

An ok entry but lacked any real depth

udo 2013-08-28 09:10

This is a great idea that could have used a bit more polishing. But the game itself is solid. A little bit of sound effects and maybe some visual effects as well would have made this even better (maybe use CSS transitions to do something when the tiles change).

kbm0 2013-08-28 10:39

Yey! Simple and nice! The game may need come effects and better graphics. But such a respectable game in 6 hours. Good job, Mr. Parker! :-)

WebGL have difficult functions its made for 3D if u want tu use webgl better use three.js, and for 2D canvas is quite simple check this picture for a complete and easy guide: http://www.nihilogic.dk/labs/canvas_sheet/HTML5_Canvas_Cheat_Sheet.png

About your game it has a great concept, and its awesome that you made it in 6 hours, if you want to spend more time I would add mouse drag.

dekart 2013-08-28 17:34

You should make a Facebook game from it :) Lot of people will like such kind of game.

proc 2013-08-28 21:24

I enjoyed it but no where near winning. 6 hours and you made a game with more depth than Curiosity on launch haha

nanotech 2013-08-28 21:41

Interesting game. It feels very much like a pen-and-paper game in that it doesn't need a complicated mechanic to be fun.

Curiously, the difficulty of the levels seems reversed to me!

udrian 2013-08-29 09:01

Nice game! The more squares, the more fun! My score is 261 on hard :) hihi! I got stuck in this game..:P

gre 2013-08-31 15:52

Nice game, would need some more mecanisms to be fully enjoyable but still good.

roybatty 2013-08-31 16:05

Simple and elegant, I like it! I'm not very good (I BLAME TRACKPAD!!! ARARRARRAR) but I will definitely give it another go with a mouse when I get home later.

Game design cookie to you, sir!

This is actually really fun! Nice job, would be great for touch devices. :D

gagapete 2013-09-07 18:41

That would make a nice time-waster on mobile devices.

motty 2013-09-15 03:02

Fine effort. Needs some tweaking: I found 'easy' much harder than 'medium' as it had far fewer green squares, though 'hard' was indeed hard. Still fun to play even at this early stage - hope you get time to tune and polish it and looking forward to playing that.

urfoex 2013-09-15 10:34

Good one.

spiridion 2013-09-16 23:20

MUCH more fun on a touch screen than with a mouse (thanks to other commenters for the idea). My phone screen is a bit small for it, so I have to waste precious seconds scrolling, but I got a much higher score there.
