Simple. Effective.
Hard for the eyes game, but I like it. Kind of similar to what I have done for this LD, but different !
Simple yet hard game.
Simple and damn difficult!
As a colour blind person, thanks for using really high contrast, it's at least playable. It's still pretty panic inducing for me having to search for things in a huge patch of random colours though.
Thankyou everyone! I appreciate your comments :)
Norgg, thankyou for pointing that out, I'll bear that in mind. Maybe I could add an option to configure your own colors. :)
Nice puzzle game. Hard depending of the combination of the dots.
P.D: Sorry. I've made op-out the ratings of my game by error :-( You can vote it now
SO hard, very interesting, simple. Not much else to say about it :) I got 3 :)
Thanks KedumeBits, I went back to your game to vote ;)
Thanks Tuism! I tried to keep it challenging, to save people's eyes more than anything hehe :)
Thanks!
Its very very hard. But nonetheless, its a simple game with a good implementation. Well done.
Exactly like the other comments. Simple yet hard puzzle game. Good job.
I had no idea how difficult it is recognizing patterns was until now.
Heh this was more fun than I thought it would be. As others have said, the colours hurt your eyes a bit so maybe could have done with something a bit softer, but it's a nice idea :)
simple game, but pretty hard!
Just an fyi, the lose state doesn't work properly. I can just click again after the timer expires (or I click on the wrong one) and it keeps going.
Today, I learned that I really suck at pattern recognition. That said, I did play this a few times. It's pretty nifty!
Nice idea! Kinda hard to play after 32 hours of coding but I did try a few times!
Hard game! With a help button maybe i have a chance haha
i thought i was quite good at quickly scanning things.. turns out i am not haha.. good game man :)
Very nice conception.
Thanks again everyone! I really appreciate any feedback :)
Thanks for letting me know Hexicube, I had noticed there was a glitch there but after submission had finished, so I'll fix that.
Yep, sorry for the colors folks hehe :)
Quite funny game, But a little easy tho. Maybe a bit less searching time?
I think you've struck gold with this idea. More polish and this could be an amazing mobile game. Love the challenge, feels like the sort of game you'd play to train your brain to notice things.
hehe I think you're probably a genius Bronaldplo ;) Everyone else said it's hard.
I thought that I could make a version with more squares, or less colors, maybe even different tetris-style shapes for the "pros" ;p
Thankyou GhostBomb, what a lovely comment :) I did imagine it as a mobile game.
Hard than what I imagine.
I search by color pattern, but sometimes it's in a biger pattern and I can't find it ^^.
too simple to be this hard! :)
I like the simple idea, it works really well! It makes me really dizzy though ;)
I like the idea of the game a lot. Simple but original which is my favorite type of game. I could imagine newspapers printed this along with word searches. I found it far too hard though. If it only had levels of increasing difficulty to lure me in. Start of with much fewer squares. I thought the color wheel timer was a nice touch. I hope you keep adding to this after the competition because I think it could really be good. I would be nice to have the option to pick the colors. Shouldn't be hard to implement and it helps color blind people. The yellow and the green almost look the same to me.
nice simple idea, but its rly hard to my eyes ;[
Clever ideas! It's a bit addictive lol
simple and fit perfect with the theme but a little hard for brain after few map
Agree with Spacedoubt below, harsh on the yes but I do like it! Maybe pastel colours next time?;) a great design though. I got to 4 a couple of times before getting stuck. Strong concept. good work.
Wow that's surprisingly difficult. I scored 10, and that feels like a heroic effort :P Nice original concept this with a very specific 8-bit visual style. Cool!
Simple and veeeeeery difficult haha, nicely done!
Great interpretation of the theme, The puzzle is incredibly hard, my highest score was three! Good Job
Simple game, but does its gameplay very well.
Would love to make a Sinclair Spectrum version of this.
This is among the most innovative games I've seen so far. A really creative game which I'd love to play on my smart phone! I hope to see that in the future. I scored 12 in the end, but might play some more. When I realized how little time I had left, I got really stressed out and it got even harder looking for patterns. Really good job on this!
Simple but great!I'll keep playing it in the future for sure.Beautiful timekiller!
Nice puzzle game, liked the simplicity in design. The timer works really well in starting the panic when you are struggling to find a pattern.
Very hard but I immediately got better at it -- that's an excellent job for a game made in such a small time. Great game, the color choice is really in-your-face, but I think that's really important. Would have liked a little audio to go along with it!
Nice tight game. Simple, effective, eye killing.
Thankyou so much everyone for your encouraging comments! It really is so nice to hear that you like the little game, even if it kills your eyes ;)
Thanks Fnkee, I had the smartphone in mind when I designed the game and will be working on the smartphone version first. :)
