Pretty nice and relaxing at first, it's nice how it gets harder. Music fits in well also. I could easily imagine this as a full game (probably for mobile)!
Nice music! I'm a little confused about how to win and how points are calculated, even with your explanation (but if I understand correctly you have to balance your score between the grids without having the same score for each shape ?). When the shape did not match I dropped the marble every time and lost points 😅
I'm confused - what importance do the grid backgrounds serve? how do you score? game seems fun and the music is very good i just can't figure out what to do :P
I didn't really understand the scoring even after reading the description. Needs a lot more player feedback. Still, I liked the mechanic of sorting shapes and colors and could see this turning into a very meditative puzzler. The little polishing touches like audio and music and the animated background added a lot.
Calming moody music. I like the scrolling background and art style. My favorite feeling is when the camera pulls out when you add another shape. I think the feedback for the scoring should be instantaneous instead of at the end of the round timer so you can try to figure it out. I also read the description but my predictions are sometimes wrong. THe pacing is very slow at first and then very quickly ramps up. It's okay for the first time but subsequent tries are a little boring.
