Can't download windows version. Link is broken.

Very cool game! My girlfriend played this game because I'm bad at them.. :D Loved the different kind of transformations in the jar! Solid entry :)

ekkiiiii 2016-04-19 10:55

Download link for Windows fixed ;)

sushin 2016-04-19 12:29

haha loved the monsters! Nice graphics as well. Cool game overall :)

redpillgamedev 2016-04-19 12:41

Nice Game! Great Job...

edgeofcode 2016-04-19 12:41

I liked the shapeshifting!

vividreality 2016-04-19 12:42

It was fun to see the monster grow and mix and match. I tried to create something that was whole, but couldn't do it. Haha. The graphics are lovely.

virtual_void 2016-04-19 12:42

Nice graphics and music.

beard 2016-04-19 12:42

I like a new take on a classic game style. The elements of changing what is happening in the jars based on what you match is really cool. I also like the "collection". Great work.

teamross 2016-04-19 12:44

yay! It's really funny! xD
I'm so bad at this kind of games, I had to wait a lot for the "help tips" ingame. But spent a lot of time trying to get a normal human!
Keep going and congratulations! :D

seconddimension 2016-04-19 12:45

Really fun game, managed to get 2 full transformations.

redpillgamedev 2016-04-19 12:48

Nice Game! Great Job...

akirassasin 2016-04-19 12:54

That thing in the tank looks scary
*teddy head appears, for some reason enlarged*

holy mother of god!
Best match-3 I've ever played.

arnage 2016-04-19 13:05

Not the most original, but I like the execution.

evogengames 2016-04-19 14:21

cool mood, graphics and audio!

axoona 2016-04-19 14:40

I really liked the graphics and music, and I think the game could be fun, but I don't seem to find any purpose in the shapesiftng of the monster or making it bigger. I came to a point were it didn't grow any longer.. is there an end to the game?

fullmontis 2016-04-19 16:47

A funny take on a proven and tested mechanic! I think it was quite funny, I like how the monster grows differently depending on your gameplay, makes the game feel different each time, and adds an interesting challenge.

uvwar 2016-04-20 04:09

Really awesome, wasn't sure what I was doing half the time though!

mekuri 2016-04-20 11:30

The base gameplay was nothing new, but the shapeshifting in the tank was a nice visual reward for playing. The game felt very solid, and I encountered no bugs or other quirky stuff.
Good job on a solid game!

esayitch 2016-04-20 12:19

Hi there,

I liekd the art and the sound was all right as well... The theme could have figured more in the game IMO.

Solid entry overall, good luck!

digitaldude555 2016-04-20 15:04

One of my favorite games I played so far, pretty fun and challenging to complete the whole set, completed two of them so far, can't really find any faults in this game.

crucknuk 2016-04-20 15:22

Nice entry! Gameplay is simple and not very innovative but still effective. I liked the monster assembling. Good job ;)

savethejets1 2016-04-20 15:28

Interesting match 3!

vururia 2016-04-20 16:51

Nice take on the theme, loved the graphics. Audio was kind of dull but it didn't stop me from having a great time. I can see a lot of work has been put into this.

glaze_96 2016-04-20 17:11

Not my type of game, but it was really well made! Great job on the graphics!

anaguilefdez 2016-04-21 14:13

Though there are lots of Diamonds-type games, I like how the way you incorpored the shape-shifting. Good job

allthebees 2016-04-21 14:21

Cool twist to the genre, addictive as always!

apantaloni 2016-04-22 11:12

Clever twist on the classic match-3 mechaninc. Making "complete" monsters is not that easy as you have to stick to the same color as much as possible. Nice graphics and music too. Congrats!

xanjos 2016-04-22 15:34

Not sure if there was a specific endgame to reach but I loved this interesting twist on Match-3 and the bgm was just amazing.

wizzardmaker 2016-04-23 08:59

Great great game, really felt like I could have paid for it. nice graphics

bradleypollard 2016-04-23 10:36

I like the idea of trying different combinations to discover the different monsters! Looked and sounded really good too.

My one suggestion is to make the game a little more difficult, I felt that the hints showed up too soon and there wasn't much urgency to the gameplay.

ekkiiiii 2016-04-23 10:54

Thanks for all the comments so far! For those of you interested in the making of the game I have already published a small post mortem where I tried to give some insights on the design and production.

madmarcel 2016-04-23 12:17

That was good, I liked it. Spend a long time playing that. Took me ages to 'complete' one specimen.

fin_nolimit 2016-04-23 22:02

wow!!! I like (well its been a long time since I've played) Candy Crush but this GAME BEATS Candy crush all the way!!! Seriously, the graphics make me smile and the game play is just awesome!!!! EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!

fabraz 2016-04-24 00:43

Match 3 with a shapeshifting twist!

kestrelgames 2016-04-24 07:31

haha, just wow! I laughed so hard at some of the stuff that came out.

scorder 2016-04-24 17:13

Excellent take on the theme.
I really liked the first play through, discovering what was happening a little bit at a time. Very nice work.

geck0 2016-04-24 20:38

funny

dylanwolf 2016-04-25 02:54

The concept is neat. I think my only issue is it becomes difficult to focus on a single color once you start clearing it. Adding progress meters for each color might be helpful.

Very polished--the menu screens, the "collection" feature, the creature designs, and the graphics in general are really good.

bodsey 2016-04-25 10:44

It's a greaty. I like to know if there's an objective to fulfill, because I played randomly until I got bored and I'm sure that's not what you intended. Awesome jam job nonetheless

ithildin 2016-04-25 16:54

I like the concept and graphics were well done. Was each colour linked to a specific transformation? I was expecting that and perhaps it is that way, but it was hard for me to notice, specially when there were combos.

Anyway, well done!

adsilcott 2016-04-25 17:45

Good graphics and music. It was fun to watch the creature changing.

p4nurge 2016-04-25 18:55

The shapeshifting mechanic isn't just bolted on but really does make for a neat twist which alters the gameplay. I played this for way longer than expected and really enjoyed it. Nice presentation too. Good work!

asturk 2016-04-26 10:45

Very good game there! Reaaly link these kind of games and i found very innovative the objective of trying to create some kind of "creature" in order to complete, by find the kind of potions you really have to match! Good job!

sndr 2016-04-26 13:10

Nice game! I think it's a nice idea to link the match-3 on one side to the shapeshifting character on the other. :) (It could be pretty awesome if the game had a shapeshifting particular goal that you had to achieve by getting certain potions)

ivanfon 2016-04-26 14:53

Although it's not an original concept, I like that you incorporated shapeshifting. The graphics and music were amazing and this was one of the most polished games I saw. Great job.

gord10 2016-04-26 17:46

A nice execution of the three-match mechanics. I loved the mood.

matiasbontempo 2016-04-28 01:58

The graphics in this game are awesome. I was hoping to have some kind of ending.

rock-eaters 2016-04-29 21:20

nice game ! :)
