pretty game and quite relaxing :-)
cool game! :)
I love the dynamic scene above the puzzle board - awesome visuals and execution.
cool relaxing game and super addictive! also like the coral theme
The game desperately needs audio and I think the coral should disappear when you make bad moves instead of with time. Otherwise nice game.
I was about to write a comment and noticed @verttixpertti said exactly what I was going to say. After a short while I figured out that there was no point in trying to strategize moves and I actually wanted to just be matching things as fast as I could. While that is not an invalid playstyle, match 3 games tend to benefit from allowing the player time to try to set up really long color runs. That said, this was a neat little game, and kept me playing awhile while I tried to build my reef up enough to attract some fishes! Cool concept :D
Nice job with the interface. Needed some audio. What determines if the conditions are good? Does it just automatically grow life the longer you play?
@itskdog Thanks for playing! The different corals have a condition score that sinks automatically and can be raised by swiping tiles of the matching color. If the average score is above a certain value, fishes will appear. :slight_smile:
Nice and relaxing game. It would be cool if there was something to track numbers such as biggest combo or number of each colour. I really like the art though and it feels peaceful to watch the image grow as I progressed. Cool entry overall :)
I couldn't get the fish to show up — but I like where this is headed!

I'm not sure if puzzle games your your "jam" (tee-hee), but I really enjoyed this entry. I played for a little while. I'm guessing there's no "end state"?
It could use a number of improvements, like sound, a few more "events" or something that drives gameplay forward, but I like the fresh take on the traditional "match 3" games.
Cozy game with a nice atmosphere. Sound would help be a real plus and it could be super nice with the sweet graphics.
Loved the style and use of the theme. Really pretty visuals and concept. The scene developing while I played was really well done. Great work.
nice little game, reminds me of the ones on old phones, kind of addictive
It could use some kind of "score" to keep track of your reef. Perhaps even track what the healthiest state was, to give the player an incentive to keep making their reef better and better. That said, This was very fun, and the art work is stellar.
The matching is really fun, but i didn't really get how to improve the conditions to get fish. Some kind of indication what needs to be done would be great, and also some bleeps as sound effects. The game is great, only needs some more polish. Congrats!
