Neat game!

I thought that it was glitched because the shapes wouldn't move, but I didn't noticed at first with the 1 grid distance movement XD

Lovely and keep the awesome work!

Good job. I like your user interface ^^

It isn't often that a game jam game is so addicting! Good job!

When you drag the shapes out of screen, you can't drop the shapes due to mouse being out of focus. Perhaps hide the cursor when the shapes are being carried?

Very unique and addicting puzzle game! Very satisfying chain reactions :)

Who-ho, #5 score :) Let's see how well it stands toward the end of the voting. I think you have a good embryo to a solid puzzler here: quite relaxing to play and just needs some AAA/F2P polish and it could be a good mobile game. What I think is its main drawback is the mental overload of moving more than one row/column when dragging. I find it hard to strategise when the entire field shifts too much and the predictability goes down. Many times I was just dragging randomly and hoping for 4+ match. The drag entire field could be a good IAP-powerup or something similar.

I didn't expect it to be that captivating, well done.
I like the combination of form + color, it takes a while to get used to. Nice!

Great take on match 3 , the score board makes it super addicting , current No. 5 !

This is an awesome twist on a match-3 game. Love the cascades, so satisfying. Some graphics cleanup and a little more sound, this is really addicting!

Nice twist on the match-3 mechanic. The addition of a leaderboard is very welcome. Maybe some of the colors (yellow and green) are a little similar for colorblind people, but that's a minor nitpick. Very enjoyable!

great idea of just moving the shapes! my score is the anonymusone

Finally! something new in good old match3 which I love to death. Keep on working, please! This game needs some fancy animations and prakles, but overall it is pretty decent.

I really enjoy it, good work!

Nice mechanic! It's visually very similar to my game (although much more polished :D). Feel's very bejewled-ey, fun.

Nice twist on the match 3. Having a fail condition - like reaching X points in Y number of moves would add some challenge.

atollett100 2016-04-21 16:19

very polished and awesome! super fun

maartene 2016-04-21 20:08

Man, I thought I'd have seen anything there is about match three puzzles. But this twist really makes it quite different. Especially as the typical strategies don't work here.

Anyway cool game!

I find it harder to see possible moves, but it's an interesting take on a match game.

webadev 2016-04-22 16:50

Yeah nice game and concept ! Not really in the theme shapeshift, but that's ok, game is cool :) With scores etc
You should work on it again :) Can be really addictive with more features !
Didn't note the sounds cause i can't get it where i am.

jimbly 2016-04-22 19:13

webadev: Not in the theme? You're literally *shifting* shapes around... Shift means "to move" not necessarily "to change". Thanks for playing though =)

wboqm 2016-04-25 00:09

Interesting take on a common game. The pick-up noise could use some tweaking though...

schw3de 2016-04-26 21:13

A good game, I liked the puzzle! This could be a nice game for causal player (Android and OS X). Keep up the good work!

kik0729 2016-05-01 15:06

It's a good game, It really has a lot of potential

geckoo1337 2016-05-01 21:14

A great game which reinvent a classic match3. It could be improved by other features. Well done ++

neontropics 2016-05-01 23:19

Nice spin on the game!

Only issue is IMO the same as most matching games - for me I always end up getting the bigger combos by random instead of by being clever, but I don't know if this is because I haven't played enough yet or not.
