Fun concept I feel would work well as a mobile game. I liked trying to time digging groups of blocks while the same one was falling next to it and obliterating it before gravity took it away

Great puzzle game once I understood the rules! Interesting that you let the player "jump up" so high - that saved my ass a couple times :laughing:

It's fun and I think I played over 10 times! Thank you for game)

Really unique idea and my best score is 177. Nice works! Maybe it will be more challenging if the blocks will drop faster?

I like the overall concept of the game. The random spawning can make it a bit frustrating tho. Maybe you could add a way to push falling blocks to give the player a bit more control. The art fits well. :)

Game fells a little bit to simplistic. Overall premise is interesting but it could use little bit more polish.

Nice classic match-3 alike puzzle mechanic. The right side seemed a bit empty, so maybe centering everything and adding some more UI elements would be nice :) Good job!

Its a shame the layout and UI are so bare because this is a really great spin on matching games. Moving from 'inside' the game physics is a really great touch, and I think it was a very cool feeling to weave into and out of the falling blocks looking for combos as they passed by.

The sprites are very funny too, really loved the face.

I stress this on _every_ jam game pretty much, but put controls into the UI in a text box! Its _so worth it_ no matter how trivial they seem. With some UI work and some cute GBC-like sound effects this would be a pretty charming matching game.

Great work getting a solo project out the door in such a short jam!

Graphics looks good, and the idea is fun. Only problem is the speed of the game. If the game was for example 25% faster, it would be more addicting, responsive and fun. There would be more challenge but movement would be smoother and more responsive.

@windfall890 Yeah my game really didn't come together till the last day so a lot of the love it needed to polish it up like improved UI and controls just didn't fit in the amount of time I had left. I had issues getting audio running in the webgl build so I had to cut including the audio Thanks for the feedback!

I liked this a lot! I was happy to see a Wario's Woods-like in the jam. It's really satisfying to zap a block as it's falling, and only matches up with its neighbors for a second. My only complaint was that I did spend time just waiting around for blocks to fall, because there wasn't any other way for me to "clean up" the grid after all pairs have been eliminated.

Fun game - the art, especially of the guys is hilarious. It's satisfying to play once the difficulty ramps up a bit. Congrats on finishing and submitting.

Nice game :) aside from the UI it's a very functional take on match 3, refreshing :)

i really like this game. So adictive. I played it in browser and it is a bit laggy, but still totally worthed. Great job.

Nice action puzzle game! Had to play preety fast to gather some points. At first I didn't saw the applealing but just commiting to get score led me challenge my reflexes. Fun and original twist to the puzzle genre.

Really good idea to have mixed a match-3 game with some platforming/dodging. It would have been great to add some sound design, but the game is already pretty solid, well done!
