the idea is ok. But i don't get it. I guess i match all, but than everything disapear and i broke the game xD. But I like the idea and the level design :)

The game looks good, but i'm sorry smoreley, I have no idea what i'm supposed to be doing!

Well done on getting it in though!

I appriciate that you tried to make a game with some innovatives! But I find it hard to understand. I thought I got a rules, but then it hits me, that I just had luck :D I think you should propably spend more time on balancing this game.

It took me couple of tries to find out what to do. Then I got to 24.
I like the concept. Some sound whould have been nice :)

the base idea is really cool, but realisation isn't clear enough to make it a fun experience, a few more days in that would have made it a great phone game

Very interesting idea! This was quite fun, and I liked the bouncy reactivity of the animations. I wish there were checkpoints/levels to start off from, though.

The controls were pretty difficult but it gave it a fun hectic feeling when the shapes got close.

Interesting idea. It took many attempts to figure out how the game works (hint to other players, you need to select both the new color/shape, then the one to replace). And its also it's really difficult given the speed of the pieces moving in. It might be a little better if the game started of slower until the player gets used to all the colors and shapes in the game at once.

I missed that space made the shapes collide instantly, which would have been nice to know, but I still thought the game was great. Very creative, and while it started with me thinking it was boring and dull, towards the end I was totally panicking over making the shapes match. Great job!

I was confused at first but the info menu helped us figure it out. Nice job.

Really challenging entry! My best score was 36. Sometimes I had the desire to rage quit :p

You can think on a way to explicit show what is the field of the player, maybe a different color or something like that. Also, I couldn't get out from the tutorial screen, so I had to restart the game, tee hee.

See ya ;)

This was really compelling once I got the hang of it. Nice idea.

The game was rather slow. Based on the comments, I seem to have had a special experience. I got a score of 50 before I got bored and stopped.

This game is simple and fun. I really enjoyed it. The controls are something to look at since they can be jarring at times. Maybe just one button for rotating color and one for shape.

Very nice concept!
The controls are a bit hard to get. If it had better/simpler gameplay this entry would have been really awesome!

powerspark 2016-05-05 01:15

Looks good, but even after knowing what to do it is pretty easy. Gets repetitive, so if there's something to make it more interesting, go for it.

High score 34! To be honest I wasn't expecting much from this game when I started it but it's actually quite fun and challenging. Nice game!

bsoddevguild 2016-05-07 17:47

Well done! I like it.

chaserbrown 2016-05-07 17:52

Good job! While it was a little bit confusing in the tutorial, the game ended up pretty fun when I started playing! The controls could also have been a bit more cleaned up.
