simple and funny, i love it! :)

Bejeweled + Cookie Clicker is a good description. It's an interesting concept, although I felt like the once I started making purchases I didn't have to watch the board as closely to make a ton of money.

nice, straightforward simple game, easy to play.Cute graphics, fun music.Well done!

Nice game. Seems like a nice candidate for a mobile version.

Yeah that's right boys I got "Wild Queen Angel" on you have to shift the shapes.

Really nice little game, I played for a while :D

This is super cute and really great idea! I like both Bejeweled and Cookie Clicker so stands to reason I like this. :) After a certain point, the element of making decisions between upgrades went away, because I could just buy whatever - but I could definitely see this being a full game, maybe on mobile, that would be a ton of fun.

I'm sorry, but unless this has a crafting mechanic and physics puzzles it just doesn't compare at all to Frog Fractions 2. On a scale from Seal Sorceror to Skilled Francis, I give it a pentagon.

it was cute ^^

Love the feel, the pieces moving around, the wave, everything feels very smooth.

Some more varied visual feedback based on combos and stuff would be nice.

Moving stuff without making a match should perhaps have consequences.

Your Data file in the windows build is not correctly named

but you had a great idea .. your game is kind of fun

Well done

I like how you've combined elements of idle clicker games into the Match3 concept and the art itself was very nice and clean.

I'm rich!

I second @dylanwolf's comment about the purchases.

lereveur 2016-04-27 22:03

OK, you got me. I spent half an hour on this game without even noticed it, I guess it's a proof of concept. :D

rock-eaters 2016-04-28 23:08

yeah very cool, should be real dope on phone

howardcs 2016-04-29 12:11

Fun and the basic mechanics feel solid. Love the little particle effects.

Love the derpy shapes! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/IgqbHpL7wxo

Very clever combination of two casual themes! It needs some sort of "goal" or end game to reach, and probably some more strategy to the upgrades, but it's a pretty fun start even without.

...you knew how easy it was to combo your own game. You just knew...

I thought those purchasing upgrades had very funny descriptions, so congrats!
