This is great! :D

Match game with an interesting tiles placement mechanic. Like it. :)

Vary catchy. Great game! I like the music.

Excellent over all. Nice music, nice graphics and something new in the match 4 genre. Very relaxing too.

lkr 2014-08-26 17:37

Loved the characters' "voices" in the intro, and the audio in general :)

Nice twist on the typical match 4. At first I was placing tiles at random and messing things up, but once I understood what I was doing, it went well.

Nice to see a good puzzle game. Mood is great too!!

Looks very good, nice work.
5/5

Nice game. Cool to connect idea with matching and constructing own island.

mase 2014-08-27 18:34

As usual I skimmed over the instructions and didn't quite grasp the gameplay until I had filled half the board with useless tiles.

My top score is a humble 490.

Its fun & the setting & sound effects are very pleasant.

It might be nice if there was some feedback at the end on what sort of island I'd created (like... if I'd created an island with lots of volcanos or something. idk.). The intro is pretty long so I wish that there was some story at the end in order to tie things together.

Wow super addicting. Calming music just tops the whole thing! I would've wished for a little bit more responsive controls on the HTML5 version. Very solid puzzle game still.

Nice touch with the slight moving of things. Makes it feel more alive.

Clever concept! Great music.

hempuli 2014-08-27 19:33

Very very fun to play, pretty addicting as well! It took me some time to understand what to do and at times it took a couple tries to get the next tile to be placed, but overall I liked this a lot! The audio & art is great and the intro made me laugh, haha. Nice!

Fun to play - as others said, once I figured it out. I think that the different images for tile types before vs after being placed doesn't really help with that. Also was unclear why sometimes tiles would be greyed out and I couldn't place tiles on them. And the end of the game (round?) happened all of a sudden. Like I didn't know when the game would end and then it did and I got a score screen that didn't fully make sense and when I tried clicking on it I got sent into a new game, which was a bit frustrating. Those UX things aside, great concept and game mechanic, fun to play.

He has not liked it, although I have not understood too

udo 2014-08-28 15:54

Nicely done, especially considering it's a compo entry! I prefer my islands without a volcano, too.

resni 2014-08-28 19:58

Gameplay is new enough to me. Surprisingly I picked up on the rules pretty fast even though I went in blind, so I guess it must be pretty intuitive. Feels to me the player is a bit too much at the mercy of which tiles they get, though.

bio-bob 2014-08-28 20:36

Atmospheric and very peaceful, really nice! Took a little while for me to understand anything that was happening gameplay-wise though.

xrm0 2014-08-29 10:54

Very nice game. The intro could be a bit shorter.

capitals 2014-08-29 17:11

Small game with a simple idea, this is let down in the slightest is the mouse handling is a bit dodgy.

commodorekid 2014-08-30 11:11

Really nice idea for a puzzle game. I would publish this on mobile if I were you.

andrewkennedy 2014-08-31 02:18

I failed massively the first time, and did MUCH better the second time around! Relaxing atmosphere, good music, and charming graphics :)

nicepenguins 2014-08-31 12:21

Nice idea and story :)

lokiman 2014-09-01 17:33

A little bit difficult on the first try (I didn't get the rules) but when I found out I was much better :)

I like the music and sound effects. Also the intro was great! Really a solid game.

dustystylus 2014-09-03 13:07

Nice game. Thought I'd figured it out but got 0 marks. :d Really lovely atmosphere and mood. Well done.

dookie 2014-09-06 16:07

Very nice! Took me a moment to figure out what the point was and it was rather challenging too! Well done. Might be better if there was either some logic to the tiles you got or if it would just tell you what came after the current one :)

linuus 2014-09-06 16:49

Great game, love the graphics! :)

colapsydo 2014-09-06 19:48

Relaxing and challenging.
I like a lot the dominoes'like mechanic, and the symbols sorting works fine.
I didn't find the randomness in the music, and the sfx are quite enjoyable.

jukimv1986 2014-09-08 04:19

The music was so relaxing! The plays were quite short, it would have been good to have a larger board. I liked the intro story and how do you have to plan in advance your moves. Great job!

franklins-ghost 2014-09-08 13:44

Music worked really nicely with the gameplay. Liked the puzzle aspect but did take me a second to realise what I was meant to do. Think the tiles and two options should be further emphasised as being linked.

seconddimension 2014-09-08 19:34

I played this on my iPad and it worked really well, the gameplay was fairly deep for a simple game and the overall mood was great. Nice work!

sunflower 2014-09-11 16:55

Very solid, somewhat addicting entry with good audiovisuals. The intro was a bit lengthy and I didn't quite know what to do at the beginning (that habit of mine, checking the game first and its description later... ^^"), but once I got the hang of it, it got quite pleasant.
Also, I'm not sure, but are the dreamt things (i.e. 4-matched groups) appearing in the background? If so, then it's quite a nice touch; I like that sort of gameplay and story integration.

Also, apparently I got a bug after losing due to filling the board. I clicked to proceed, then the board restarted, then the losing screen appeared, and it became unplayable, or so it seemed. ^^"

brookman 2014-09-13 16:20

Wow, I really enjoyed that!

ragepaint 2014-09-13 22:14

Nice little puzzle game. The cut scene was pretty nice too.
