This art style is really cool. I like the audio too, the music really sets the mood. It would be nice if the balls didn't fly so easily as it sometimes seemed like losing them was unavoidable when sliding back and forth.

A really creative concept, nicely fitting the theme :D A bit harsh to have to start over all the time.
Really polished, loved the art style and as people said above really creative. Awesome entry!
I really like the gameplay, the physics are lots of fun to toy around with - I think you got a great shape of the player "paddle" with the sides so you can wiggle around to match the balls by juggling them around in the container. Controls were super simple and it only sometimes felt harsh with balls dropping on opposite sides right after each other :P I also liked the art style and the overall design and mood. And you even somehow found the time to add difficulty levels!
I got a score of 113 on default difficulty, beat me :P
Awesome! You delivered a very polished game. Its more than just catch the falling objects game I see a lot. Im impressed how smooth everything feels.
@liammasters @andopp I also noticed that the general difficulty is a bit high leading to aggressive game-overs. Nonetheless, I'm thrilled you're all enjoying it. Thank you for playing!
I apparently got a mind block at 21 points. I repeated this high-score 3 times, even when I switched to "Easy". I liked the finished look of it, the graphics and the music.
I think there was opportunities to have more thought into the game design, you have the basics established, so it feels like you could play around with different ideas cheaply and have some more interesting outputs.
For the difficulty levels, the easy difficulty felt a bit harder because the platform was slow, and the hard was very impossible haha. There was some fun on the medium difficulty of trying to throw balls to the air so you could move faster and the satisfaction of picking all of them.
Nice game! Can't really find anything bad to say about it. I find it impressive you actually have your own website to host the game.
But on a side note you can probably try tweaking your website a bit, for me I had to zoom out to 80% in order to see the instructions at the side.
@freeworld good job on landing such a high score, but the world record is currently standing at 126 :D
@debone thanks for the feedback, I'm definitely thinking about working more on this game adding more extensions. It's true that the modes are more about different ways to play than actual difficulty. Thanks for playing!
@escapade if I had a bit more time, I would've made the website more responsive. Thank you for the kind words!
Very cool!
Cool game! The idea is very creative
@rafael-garcez Thank you :)
@jega-studio thank you very much
Really enjoys the match 3 with the catching falling object. Well done!

Very Cool Game I managed to get over 100 on normal after a few tries :)
@ausstein Very good, that's close to the still standing record of 126.
Love the mechanics, simple but fun! I'd love to see it expanded. I wish there was a chance to get back lifes.
The mechanics is super nice and simple but very fun to play, The music really fits the neon theme. The matching of the balls by colors is what really adds to the gameplay.
Good combination of mechanics here. It might look simple at first but then you have to really think what's your next move and do it fast. I liked the retro style art very smart, since you have to concentrate and have a clear vision of what's coming.
Difficult but fun, with an interesting take on the theme. Nice game.
NeonHighscore.png 150 new highscore :)
@ausstein you got the new record, congratulations :)
Great game , well executed idea
Creative and it makes really fun, thanks for that.
This was a blast. I, however, am exceptionally bad at this with a top score of 20 after 8 attempts. Excellent use of the theme and very cohesive visual style. I'd second the life-regaining, but I'm unsure precisely how that'd work. Maybe for like some tricky matches (5+) or combos where one match leads to a second. (The latter actually happens a bit so maybe after a few of those?) Kind of like how attacking works in Puyo Puyo.
This is a pretty fun game, I enjoyed a couple rounds of it. Before I knew what I was doing I scored better lol. I think it would be cool if you got more points for merging bigger sections, maybe have the cash in be a keybind. That way you could gamble with how many you want to store.
