I was initially kinda confused as to what to do (I had missed your first paragraph, so that's entirely my fault).

The graphics looked nice and clean, and the little pop when you cleared a tile gave some nice feedback.

I didn't really enjoy playing it, really, but I'll give credit where it's due.

Looks nice.
hashtag looks like the Slack logo :)

Quite nice. I'm familiar with pair solitaire so I knew how to play. This is an interesting twist.

Never played the iOS game, was a little bit confused. Once I got it the game was allright.

Nice entry, haven't played the original one as well, but I can see how additional mechanics add a lot of possibilities. I wonder if the grid could be put to even more use, for example giving a bonus for matching with 4 neighbors at once.

Not much with regard to innovation. Instruction to play are somewhat complex and a splash-screen showing authorized tile displacements might be a good idea. I also liked the pop sound effect. A game with miles of potential distance for further development.

I got 177 points, not sure how since the gameplay is a bit confusing. Good game, anyway, I just have to learn to play it!

Interesting game. It took a minute to get the hang of, but once I got it, it was fun. I'm not sure if I did that well though. Final score: 255.

Nice, I had never played a game like this before and I understood pretty quickly what I was supposed to do. You give the player good feedback while maintaining an in-style, minimalistic approach. Good job.

Not so quick to just start and play, but interesting idea

Nice, simple puzzle game. Great entry, lots of polish and the sounds and graphics are pretty great. I wish the animations were a little bit faster though. Nice job.

Well made game, I enjoyed it :D

losttraindude 2014-12-12 17:32

I don't know the game you took inspiration from, but anyway I think that both graphics and audio, in their simplicity and "minimalism", make a great job in setting the right pace for a game like this.

At some stage I thought that it could have been more nice if, in case of matching numbers (and not just colors), only the numbers were "highlighted" instead of the whole block. But then I figured out that it's a completely useless tip, the game runs great as it is :D

Definitely a good entry! My current High Score is 253! :D

Seems to simple, why can't i remove three at a time?

Quite a nice puzzler, it reminds me of 0hh1.

I liked it more the second time I played it, when I started using the bumpers and planning out my moves. The warning that you've run out of moves is premature: maybe it should say something like "no moves in the current configuration".

tayloranderson 2014-12-12 18:07

yeah, i only realized that after releasing the game :P oh well!

zkenshin 2014-12-12 18:16

This was well executed, nice job!

Hi there, pulled off a score of 273! I was a little slow figuring what needed to be done, but it made sense eventually. :)

I really loved the clean sense of design, the colour combinations worked well and you made it look very pure.

The little "pop" whenever you got a card was nice, but I feel the game lacked character. I think I've just been completely spoiled by Threes, though... :I

Still, fantastic effort, kudos and keep up the great work!

tayloranderson 2014-12-13 03:23

This was the first puzzle game I've ever made, so I do agree, I kinda totally forgot to add a little bit of character to it.

madhoe 2014-12-13 03:29

Neat concept. It took awhile before getting it, but once I did I used my brain more and enjoyed it more. I got 290 on my first and only run.

This game needs clearer instructions.
