:thinking: more to it than hitting the asteroids and collecting .... coins? - just wondering from the promo screen :wink:

:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:

@purpledartfrog Ah, sorry about that! I didn't remember what the link markdown was, so I copy and pasted from my game from last jam, _Harvester_, and I forgot to swap out the link :laughing:

cute music and style!

Super cool concept. Love the UI animations and art. I enjoyed mixing things together and seeing new things emerge.

Drag and drop bugfix

Fixed a bug where sometimes items wouldn't merge even if they were compatible. This was done by rewriting the drop detection code to use Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll instead of the old OnTriggerEnter2D method, which was not as reliable.

Nice Game! It's a nice concept, but the level-based design felt a bit restricting, especially since the game was relatively short. The sound and music fitted in nicely.

I really love the music and the art style

although i found a bug that makes that if you throw a "Ball" out of screen real fast... it doesnt come back i did that accidently once when i was fiddling with the stuff

But other than that, its a really good game

Keep up the good work mate!

Hey man! I really enjoyed this one! I like the puzzle twist on doodle god there, nice work!

boltkey 2019-10-08 21:16

Great polish and innovative ideas, really like it!

What a shame there is so little content.

elnu 2019-10-08 21:17

@wansou Thanks for pointing out the fact that the items can be thrown out of the play area. I'll investigate. Thank you for playing and rating!

The feeling I got when I randomly discovered a fish was actually really exciting and I'd love to see more of this game :smile: Graphics are really cute and the game looks quite neat and polished. Great job!

This looks like a good start to a fun puzzle or memory game. There are a lot of directions or game modes that would work with this. Nice job!

With this type of games one of the things I enjoy the most is discovering new combinations for the first time. Here it felt a bit more limited and I reached the end of content easily.

Visuals and sound were nice, and the controls worked well for the most part. In some cases I was trying to combine a pair of items and the game went on to merge a nearby one. The end result benefitted me after all -probably the items I was trying to merge didn't have any combination- but it felt inaccurate since I was clearly trying to connect different elements.

Hope you can keep updating it to show the full idea implemented. Good job!

i had fun good games reminds me abit of doodle god, think this game would be great on a phone.

elnu 2019-10-08 23:02

Out of bounds bugfix

Added bugfix that ensures that items cannot be placed outside of the screen area.

@wansou That shouldn't happen anymore! Thanks for pointing it out

sheepdog123 2019-10-09 01:19

Really cool game! I love it! Not the most original, though. Kind of like CaryKH's game; "Elements"

But I still like it :laughing:

All the best~

jeremy-ryan 2019-10-09 01:25

Nice entry!

Graphics were nice, especially effects on picking up tiles and making combinations. Audio was simple but got the job done, and the music was nice.

More content would have been cool, but hey, 72 hours isn't very much time.

rayne 2019-10-09 01:37

Nice little game! It reminded me of Alchemy game for Android. Great submission!

kroltan 2019-10-11 01:33

Finally had the chance to play your game! Lovely mechanic, congratulations!

I do wish it was a bit longer, please please make a post-LD version!

One suggestion would also be to add tooltips of some sort on hover, to help identify the elements.
