Nice simple two player game! Weird spin on reversi/Othello!
Interesting idea, nice to see a game that's so easy to understand, but has a lot of depth to. it mostly resulted in empty tiles, but I ended up figuring out ways to force gems which was fun. Really clean and polished!
my feedback :o: great game for 2 players :x: sounds are loud
Nice board game! I like the simplicity of it.
THIS is interesting! I've never seen this set of mechanics (with any theme on top). Is it unique? I played against myself and ... well ... won, I guess. :smirk: It feels like there's enough of an interesting game here to grab a friend, sit down, and try to hone a set of strategies. That's the highest praise I can offer any LD game. Well done!
This is a really smart one, good innovation on the puzzle mechanics. The board and score can change quite drastically once the board starts to fill up which adds to a sense of tension. I think there's room to expand on the mechanics to give it a bit more depth.
It's a cool idea. Simple but not simplitics. I liked the graphics, great job
Hm I had to play it alone and really couldn't judge the aspect fun for this game, but I can imagine that it could turn out like a good tactic game. Reminds me a bit of Tic Tac Toe. A KI would have been really nice so you can play against the computer, but I guess that's not so easy. I like the graphic and the sound effect an the overall idea
Really cool! I don't know if it is an existing boardgame, but if it's not thanks for creating it! Obviously some more work on music and sound would be a plus but other than that I have nothing to say. Very good game!
I like the depth you create with those simple rules. Played it with my wife, and we had a good time thinking about how to make the other loose more than how to create new gems. Totally found the theme here! ;)
A simple concept that feels like it has a lot of potential for interesting scenarios. I liked that it was not only about getting gems of your own color but also about taking the other player's gems out of the picture. Definitely fit the theme; great job!
@netguy204 @qkerguelen It is an original concept, as far as we know. The mechanics would be cumbersome in a traditional board game.
Thanks everyone for the comments so far!
If I had another player with me to play this game, I would have loved it. Overall, I liked it.
Nice game!
A straightforward idea that seems to [1001 games](https://1001games.io/) have a lot of promise for intriguing scenarios. I loved that the objective was to remove the gems of the opposing player from the field in addition to obtaining gems of your own color.
