Getting a couple errors trying to run this:

The program can't start because ucrtbased.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Nice!!!

The art is nice! While I can appreciate your attempt to create a more complex rule set, there's a lot of rules thrown at the player right away.

A confusing set of rules, but once you wrap your head around them, it's really interesting and deep. The rule interactions do make it a little hard to predict what will happen though.

Looks good.

I can't wrap my head around the transmutation wave mechanic though. Do I understand correctly that I need to have the color wheel memorized in order to know where the wave has an effect? Maybe some info graphic somewhere on screen in the game would help here.

Cool game, but difficult to get a handle on the rules. I Like most of the art.

An interesting game, maybe a bit more tutorial would have been nice, but whatever :)

Really interesting mechanics once you get the hang of them. I like the limitations on how you can move the tiles as well - it plays well with the rest of the rules and forces you to think rather than just looking for three-tile patterns.

really interesting game, although the rules are a little hard to wrap my head around. but all in all it's nice to see a shape matching game with some variety in the rules.
