Mamma-mia! This is hard!! Love it!

I liked it. Good concept. Downside: Not that replayable.

Grats on the game! I won, but I found it pretty hard to keep both card sides in mind at the same time. Can't say I really knew what I was doing. Didn't have any problems running the game.

Very smart game. Hard, frustating, but fun! Simple audio would improve the mood.

Interesting game, I felt like I didn't really know what was on the other side which limited the fun for me (made it more random and less interesting). I guess I could have focused really hard, drawn diagrams, and tried to figure out where to move next.

That's a clever mechanic, I like it. Is there a way to peek on the other side without actually making a move? It feels a bit random on the first move, and you need to plan ahead if you want to complete a level

I'm planning to make a more polished version with a way to look at the other side before making a move

Great idea and nice execution. I hope to make a puzzle game a good as this one one day.

Very interesting and innovative concept. I like the minimalistic presentation. Nice work!

This was a really fun challenge. It seemed so easy to start but the last moves can be tricky. Great concept, although it might only connect to the theme with just a thread. A few of the circles showed up as 2 half circles, and it took a minute for me to realize that didn't have any gameplay effect.

Really great and smart concept!

This is a tough puzzler. Very well done. Really good incorporation of the theme, and fun to keep playing.

Oh, I won! wasnt sure what I was doing untill halfway through but thats a nifty little mechanic :)

balloonsfor600 2014-05-03 19:17

I really like this concept. I noticed a few times it would tell me I'd lost when I clearly had at least one move left. Other than that, really cool puzzle game.

drd64 2014-05-03 19:22

Very interesting idea, but I felt like most puzzles were actually unsolvable (unless I'm doing something wrong). The backside always is missing 1 circle, and sometimes (all the time?) that forces you to lose. I even had a board full of greens and a single red before, when it asked me to connect the red, of course I lost. Either way, it seems like there is always going to be an odd number of some color.. Is this actually beatable?

I also noticed, after a while, that there is white text on the screen after you run into a losing move. Pretty much impossible to read, only noticed over the bits of the colored circles.

Great idea that could turn into a really fun and unique puzzle game. Some relaxing music once this is polished up would be a nice touch, I think.

Very innovative use of the theme.

photon 2014-05-05 19:12

Managed to beat it once. Definitely a cool little concept you have here, although personally I found it a bit more dizzying on the memory than I may have liked. Still very creative theme usage and gameplay though!

monsterkillu 2014-05-08 05:49

At first i was skeptical about how it would fit the theme. Then i played it. Wow. very interesting puzzle game. One thing i recommend is to add a button or something so that i could flip it as much as i wished to see the possible moves (or a faded preview of whats on the other side etc).

elefantopia 2014-05-18 03:02

Clever game.

managore 2014-05-18 03:03

Wow, what a great game! I absolutely love the idea! I wish it was possible to look at both sides at once, but I know that's something you're looking to improve.

2014-05-22 22:16

Fantastic game! One suggestion: I love the puzzle aspect of it—is there any way to keep it from starting a brand new game? I would love to go back and retry a failed attempt and beat that particular manifested scenario than just trying a new one each time.
Thank you, this is such a cool, great game! :)
