An elegant style befitting elegant design. Well done!

lexgear 2014-12-09 05:57

This game seems too good to be from a game jam! Good Job!

jrap 2014-12-09 05:58

Feels like I'm plucking a cosmic guitar.

defectivemelon 2014-12-09 05:58

Wow, I really liked this. The graphics, sound, and game play really worked together to make a relaxing mood. Excellently done.

swiftillusion 2014-12-09 06:00

I really love the sound of joining blocks together, and love the visual style, simple but sweet game, great entry :).

seraphki 2014-12-09 06:01

Oooh I like it! Clean and fun =D

deadpixelsociety 2014-12-09 06:02

Beautiful game, very well done. Agree with LexGear that it feels very polished for a jam game.

sublustris 2014-12-09 06:07

Great game. Nice meditative mechanics and pleasant graphics.
Good job!

liquidmedia 2014-12-09 06:08

It's a nice game I could see this on mobile doing well.

cheshyr 2014-12-09 06:10

Good times.

jacksendary 2014-12-09 06:10

Seems like an interesting idea for mobile, pretty fun and hard

zxeno 2014-12-09 06:13

Great visual style. Very solid, and way more addicting than I though it was going to end up being. Very good game! I hope you keep going with it after the jam!

kierygeek 2014-12-09 07:32

I do not have enough words to describe how much I love this.

cxsquared 2014-12-10 05:05

Super well done game. The audio is so perfect with the music and sound effects really adding to the game. This makes a super solid mobile game and I think it could do really well in the mobile market. Awesome work.

leaghorn 2014-12-10 05:06

Cool game. Mobile version would be nice.

ohfiddlediddle 2014-12-10 05:13

Beautiful game, very pretty with nice audio and very clean and tidy gameplay.
Get this on to the App Store asap. ;)

javabot 2014-12-10 05:16

This is a gorgeous game that SHOULD BE made into an app at once!

flashlight 2014-12-10 05:17

Although not a fresh idea, the game has a splendid art style and the music just fit so well, good job! Looking forward to see developed mechanisms (special blocks, etc) so that the game won't be a bit boring after long time of play.

whoaconstrictor 2014-12-10 05:20

Where'd the last half hour go?! I ended up with 5524 points. Very addictive and fun!

This game is dripping with polish and is very well executed. I remember seeing a WIP post on the front page and was really excited to play it- glad it popped up in my queue. I really like the sweeps mechanic.

watercressstudios 2014-12-10 06:19

I liked the guitar strumming sounds. A charming entry.

raiyumi 2014-12-10 06:21

Slick and smooth gameplay. Could easily see this on mobile.

thopis 2014-12-10 06:26

I'll be returning for some plays!Really cool and addictive!Bravo!

arcturusdeluxe 2014-12-11 00:34

This is really cool. Love the presentation. The guitar plucking sounds when you drag over the tiles are awesome, they make swiping them more fun than it has any right to be. Would make for quite a good mobile game I think.

newt_ 2014-12-11 00:34

Very sleek and fun! Could see myself playing this for hours on mobile!

milktoast 2014-12-11 00:35

This would be a perfect mobile game! I seemed to always get the middle taken care of, but left the sides to tower skyward with no hope of tearing them down. The guitar strumming sound was inspired. Addicting gameplay. Well done!

croze 2014-12-11 03:00

I am super impressed, this is such a fun sit back and play type of game, it feels really polished and satisfying and I really can't find a single thing I dislike about it. 5 stars all around, I may have to keep this in my downloads folder!

gread72 2014-12-11 03:00

Yeah This is well done... love the guitar sounds ... very cool

celanova 2014-12-11 03:27

Elegant and quite addicting. Nice job.

dreii 2014-12-11 03:33

The audio and graphic design elegantly plays with the fantasticly simple ruleset!

karlipoppins 2014-12-11 03:37

This was a wonderful find. A mix of tetris/bejeweled with the perfect soothing music. And it's a perfect mobile game as well. I hope you guys publish this before someone else does! Great job

dkellycollins 2014-12-11 03:47

Simple and a lot of fun to play. Great game.

samm 2014-12-11 04:52

Wow, this is great! Are you sure you made it in only a couple days?

knivel 2014-12-11 04:53

Great audio and mood. Clever mechanic with the "Sweep" buttons. Very polished, although I had trouble starting a standard match a couple times (got stuck in the help). Ended up having to start a challenge mode and click the "try standard" button when I died. Great job!

justinmullin 2014-12-11 05:21

Nothing new on the gameplay side, but this is incredibly polished and nice. Well done! Am I hearing rubber bands?

eonarheim 2014-12-11 05:23

@JustinMullin Actually we recorded all of the sound effects and music off of an acoustic guitar believe it or not :)

kill0u 2014-12-11 13:37

Great! Just had a "sweep all", sadly I'll have to stop for now, but I'll definitely come back :)

themeorch 2014-12-11 18:28

Highly polished and relaxing puzzle game. Highlighting same-color blocks once you have one selected is a brilliant feature. The difficulty could ramp up a bit faster in Standard Mode, though Challenge certainly does provide a good challenge. Great work!

ehtd 2014-12-12 01:48

Very nice and fun

kitch 2014-12-12 05:49

Really nice audio work there! I played this a lot longer than I should have because of that. Really good work. Thanks!

rincewind_cz 2014-12-12 16:58

Really solid entry! Nice graphics, totally working puzzle mechanism, beautiful music! Well done, I've really enjoyed playing this game, especially the challenge mode :-)

rd127p77 2014-12-13 01:50

Cool Game, Love the simplicity

mach60kas 2014-12-13 02:35

Very polished, challenging and well-designed puzzler game. The graphic design is wonderfully clean and well thought out, and conveys all the information the player could need. The music is very nice, but gets a little tiring after a while. Great job overall everyone, keep it up! :)

thalia 2014-12-13 03:09

Guitar sounds here very cool! But this gameplay is ordinary. What for innovation do you offer? It's usual 3-match.( Very good done of course, but ordinary.

geckoo1337 2014-12-13 06:52

Really nice project with a cool graphics. Well done ++

redoxkun 2014-12-13 12:16

Simple, fun and addictive. Very nice game! And love the sound!

zkenshin 2014-12-13 20:58

Simple, clean and well polished. Great job!

paulloz 2014-12-14 01:02

Wanted to try your game but I'm color blind and I can't see any difference between those two colors : http://imgur.com/KE8MOcn
Seems cool though :'(

kualitygames 2014-12-14 13:44

Really addictive game, well done! Loved the minimalistic art style too.

asobitech 2014-12-16 20:05

Excellent puzzle game, crying out for a mobile version.

chuigum 2014-12-16 22:16

Good solid game, could definitely see this as a mobile game. Do it! :) Good job

rainshapes 2014-12-18 02:23

Like the sound response. Feels nice.

gre 2014-12-18 12:20

Reminds me a bit the trending "Two Dots" mobile game, but with a quite different game mechanism.
Graphics and Audio is very polished, congrats.

xanjos 2014-12-18 23:46

Pretty fun twist on the match tiles puzzle genre and great take on the theme. I actually found standard mode to be more harder than challenge.

canyon 2014-12-19 04:45

I loved this!

ilokimo 2014-12-21 04:56

Really love the game design mastery, simple but well though, especially with the challenge mode.

simon_simon 2014-12-21 15:12

Fine, elegant, clever, relaxing yet challenging, classic yet innovative : Well done !

gillenew 2014-12-22 08:58

very nice, much like this puzzle style, the graphic was pretty nice, and the game is not complicated to understand :)

gokuhd 2014-12-23 14:13

Very well done! nice graphics and sounds, simple but engaging mechanics, great!

papygaragos 2014-12-23 18:24

Really cool concept (Especially the swipe mechanic which add a lot to the genre).

I think the block repartition could use some work : right know I think it is totally random, and some playthourgh are just doomed from the start

eskivor 2014-12-24 01:28

Great music !

kirbytails7 2014-12-24 02:48

Very nice. The diagonal matching really adds to the mechanic, and the style is very clean.

johnro 2014-12-24 06:33

Across the board fun! Once I got into it, I got into this great groove.

dunin 2014-12-24 06:34

nice polished game. Simple but fun.
The difficulty could increase in one way or another...
(my score: 1566)

puppetmaster 2014-12-24 12:05

Cool an polished game, guitar sound give a special mood.
Fast repeating background music disturb the feel.

Well made!

Jeremias 2014-12-24 14:02

Great amount of polish. Simple concept but fun. Make an app out of it :)

gana0 2014-12-24 14:26

An excellent puzzle game. I really liked standard mode. Challenge mode seemed a little too hectic for me though, but that idea was good as well. The music was nice and calming, but I got bored of it after playing for so long. The guitar sound effects were a cool touch and fit well with the background music. It would have been a good touch in my opinion to add something like "nice!" or "great!" if you made a really good combo and got rid of a lot of blocks like a lot of puzzle games do. It would keep interest levels up. Overall, an interesting concept and great execution!

ddrkirbyisq 2014-12-24 21:03

Pretty cool and well done! Simple concept, nice execution for a game jam.

rono 2014-12-24 23:33

Love the guitar sounds :) nice game

poupi 2014-12-25 02:07

Very nice ;)

ethproductions 2014-12-25 03:00

Very clean for a 3-day game! The mechanics are very smart and well-made, and the graphic style is awesome.

ossi 2014-12-25 08:38

Very cool game! Feels really good to break the tiles and the guitar plucking is really satisfying! Great job!

kaijuu 2014-12-25 10:45

This game is so wonderful in all ways!
Really 10/10
Sorry 5/5 :D

dylanwolf 2014-12-26 06:03

Nice puzzle game, and Standard Mode is a take on match-3 I haven't seen before. Having two modes makes it interesting too.

lmt 2014-12-26 16:04

Nice simple polished game. I really like the fluidity of the mechanic.

cakencode 2014-12-26 20:55

Wow, that was really awesome. It's such a simple idea too but so well executed! Love that it was hard to keep the stacks from growing too big even when you have all the time in the world to think about your moves. Very good puzzle game :D

tomvert 2014-12-27 10:33

Cool game, love the art style and music. I like how the connecting sound is musical and makes a little melody :D

nonobattle 2014-12-27 12:51

Very well done game

makatak 2014-12-27 16:39

Fantastic game. Manages to be both chill and relaxed and challenging and stressful at the same time. Extremely polished for 48 hours, all around amazing.

erkberg 2014-12-28 15:19

Very polished, seems like it could be a great mobile game. Good job overall!

andreaswitzen 2014-12-29 05:46

This could probably be a successful mobile title. The gameplay is simple but addictive, graphics are nice and the guitar gives it a unique touch. Definitley one of the better entries of the >90 I've played.

pacogames 2014-12-29 06:04

Very good game. As they should be: simple and entertaining. I never get tired of playing. To take one but the music becomes monotonous.

paffe 2014-12-29 11:43

Fantastic!

peni6 2014-12-29 14:16

Great fun and a lovely playing game. Nice job!

okkolobr 2014-12-29 21:41

Impressive for a Jam. Nice concept and realisation.

Well done !
