Very well implemented game. Although I do have to mention that it seems to borrow heavily from the boardgame Ingenious.

Really cool puzzle game :D ! Reminds me of the boardgame Einfach Genial.

Too bad it's not color-friendly :(

Cool concept, and a polished interface. The rules were still a bit unclear at first (do the colors have to be uninterrupted in the row?), but I still felt like I accomplished something when I finished, even with a score of 0 : ).

Thanks for putting this up!

Is a good idea and a good game but I do not see the connection between the game that give the topic

Interesting game, I like the concept behind it. The graphics are simple, but effective.

Very creative game!

The graphics are nice and very smooth. The gameplay was fun, addicting, and sometimes mind-bending. Great job :D

I've never played the games you mention inspired this, but the concept seems interesting. The random number generator screwed me a bit though on the score system. Since it produced very little blue hexes during my playtime, that was my lowest scoring gem. This is well polished, but I find the connection to the theme very missing. Yes, you called this a mining game, but that seems like merely a nod to the theme.

Very cool puzzle game! I hope you keep going with it. It'd be really slick on mobile.

This is a addicting fun puzzle game.

Very well made. Nice concept, especially how the final score is calculated. Simple and effective!

Simple and fun.

It was really fun to have an eye on the numbers to raise the lowest color and not to block the other colors at the same time. Nice game. Thank you for that entry.

Well, sure it's a cool puzzle game, but where are the beards!?

petrih 2014-05-02 08:03

Well done!

lowcade 2014-05-02 16:18

was very similar to the real game.
I didn't get where is the theme?

A good, single player interpretation of Ingenious. I liked that a lot. A little off theme, but that doesn't matter. Nicely done.

lorniebear 2014-05-04 14:18

Very fun, and easy to play

Great puzzle game

Very well-implemented; the game played quickly and beautifully, and was a very interesting concept.

I found the theme to be a little bit of a hindrance in understanding the game -- I wasn't really sure why gems were being re-mined, why the sources tiles don't get included, or indeed where the gnomes were. Certainly a game I'll enjoy coming back to, though.

good potential
