Your game has a truly innovative mechanic. I wasn't able to play it, though (my Internet connection is too slow).

I'll keep trying to load it.

That gif was brilliant marketing. I can already tell I love the idea and I'm psyched to get home from work and try this out.

Once I figured out that the shapes can be made from a combination of small squares, and that I can do it in any order the game really opened up.

I completed level 10! Fantastic level of polish, simple but effective sound, lovely art direction but above all really intelligent and elegant puzzle design, a real winner and I've never seen anything like it.

Bravo!

You can change the name of WINDOWS to WEB, so it's more clear that it's a web version and not standalone.

Pretty tough game. Stuck at level 3. It's different and fun to play though! Tile sounds are good :)

ihateatmfees 2013-12-16 19:03

@KumoKario: Thanks, I've changed the label. Once you figure out level 3 the rest of the game opens up.

Nice mechanic. Be sure to link the Web version on this page.

Really great puzzle game, kept me entertained for quite a while, completed all 10 puzzles aswell! Great job :D

tobiasnl 2013-12-16 19:05

Hey good game man, really cool idea. The sounds were also spot on. The only thing I missed was a soothing soundtrack - although the game is fine without any.

timtipgames 2013-12-16 19:06

I really enjoy this game. but why is this not a possible solution? : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3057562/LD28/ProbablyMeTooStupid.PNG

acp_ld 2013-12-16 19:07

really well made

ihateatmfees 2013-12-16 19:09

@timtipgames: The idea is that you only get the match if the entire game board matches a pattern.

ihateatmfees 2013-12-16 19:11

The server I'm hosting this on is acting up, so I'm going to reboot the server. Should only be down a few minutes.

ihateatmfees 2013-12-16 19:20

Web link should be working again.

ob6160 2013-12-16 22:25

I really enjoyed this game. It was challenging but fun at the same time ;)

nppro93 2013-12-16 22:26

Rules are kind of unclear in terms of what counts as satisfying a shape at the beginning. But its a pretty clever puzzle game. I enjoyed it once I figured out how it works.

jabenjy 2013-12-16 22:27

Really cool, loved the idea.

wojworks 2013-12-16 22:29

Great game, but how do I get past level 3? For the life of me I can't figure it out!

chardish 2013-12-16 22:33

Fascinating mechanic :D I love games that explore the idea of scale.

mechatodzilla 2013-12-16 22:58

Really cool game overall. I agree with the players who feel it's unclear how to satisfy some of the puzzles. I made it through level 3 once but I don't understand how and wasn't able to do it again. Awesome submission. You should really run with this!

afterisk 2013-12-17 03:13

Fun fun fun! Couldn't get through 3rd level though. Very well done otherwise!

chuigum 2013-12-17 03:14

Very simple and nice mechanic. Puzzling too! But fun ;)

unept 2013-12-17 03:15

Nicely done, very polished. Great puzzle mechanic. I gave up on level 4 though, and I'm pretty good with puzzles too, or so I tell myself.

ahnt 2013-12-17 03:18

I had problems with level 3.. however this is very innovative but simple concept, well done

triforcespark 2013-12-17 03:19

I wish you had an undo button, it's quite tedious to click 60 tiles...
but overall, a really, really addictive game; you've just created a really unique puzzle game. Now I want more levels.

infinitenutshell 2013-12-17 03:19

This was fun! I could see this scaling up to really big levels with lots of strange shapes.

teddy 2013-12-17 03:21

I am actually surprised by how much I enjoyed that. It was fun and I got to lvl 7 before stopping. The music notes were a great touch as well.

ihateatmfees 2013-12-17 03:24

@triforcespark: You don't have to click on every tile... you can hold down the mouse button!

van-noctar 2013-12-17 03:25

Like the mecanics and the puzzle game. But i'm blocked at the level3. An upgrade could be propose clue or solution.

lekochen 2013-12-17 03:33

Completed. Excellent puzzler! Well done!

flatgub 2013-12-17 04:30

This was too hard for me ;~;
Really fun though!

hypnohustla 2013-12-17 13:13

The best puzzle game I've played so far. That's how you design a goddamn game! So satisfying when you figure the correct order to solve a level :)

andrerodrigues 2013-12-17 16:17

Really liked the sound and atmosphere of the game, took me a while to figure out why i was stuck on a level and how the shapes connected but really fun solving all 10 levels =]

diptoman 2013-12-18 08:22

This was incredibly fun, really pulled me in. Once I figured out level 3 I couldn't help marvelling at the genius of it! And the other levels after that were brain racking, too!(especially with that annoying grey tile :P) Cool and innovative even with the minimalistic gfx. And oh, the chiptunes were lovely xD

sclark39 2013-12-20 00:56

Well done, great sounds. The sounds really add to the experience. I'd suggest peggle-ifying every single square break (and especially pattern match) to make the whole thing even more rewarding, even if you lose. I played first without sound on, but went back and played again. It is quite a bit better with the singing tiles. :)

oxysoft 2013-12-20 03:13

Great idea, but I cannot beat level 3 after 20 minutes, what a waste of my time.

cambrian_era 2013-12-20 03:20

I got stuck, but managed to get through it. I really dig the concept, and I'd love to see it be fleshed out as a mobile game.

danielsnd 2013-12-20 05:50

GENIUS! REALLY REALLY GENIUS! LOVED IT!
I sooooo want that on my phone!

Here are my first impressions while playing the game for the first time ^^

danielsnd 2013-12-20 08:01

This is officially the only game so far that I've actually came back to play more after recording my first impressions... This is really damn good D: Please make a post-compo iOS/Android version with more levels, I'd buy the heck out of it

danielsnd 2013-12-20 08:12

Aaaand this time I beat it :( I want moar.

zerkruemler 2013-12-20 08:48

Very very cool puzzler. I liked it very much to play it to the end. Very good levels which are challenging but not frustrating except level 3 which should be explained in the game in my opinion since it holds a core mechanics of the game and not a puzzle, but of course Ludum Dare is the right place to test such decisions.
I like also the nice graphics effects in the otherwise plain graphics.
Very good job!

madball 2013-12-20 10:07

Oh, I really like it! Mechanics seem so good. I'd like more levels! The appearance is also nice.

glovecat 2013-12-20 10:32

The mechanic is really awesome, develop this for mobile devices with a ton of levels, and you'll be rich!!

dyn 2013-12-20 10:35

Don't care about theme, but it's really awesome, dude!

blazingfanfish 2013-12-20 20:36

Great mechanic. I manage to finish lv 10. Good game!

gene-z 2013-12-21 19:13

Very Nice game,, keep good work

robhor 2013-12-22 22:01

Very cool puzzle!

michail 2013-12-22 23:53

Cool game and very nice execution. I want more levels!

symmeteer 2013-12-24 03:50

Very engaging! Best thing you could do for it right now: give it some clearer directions/guidelines, so that people don't have to go read your hint.

jaj 2014-01-06 22:23

Such a simple but fresh game. Probably the most elegantly original entry I've played.
