doesnt seem to work for me it just shows 'restart'

jose-pedro-dias 2024-04-14 13:48

yeah, I need to republish with a fix on the html page. Please don't rate just yet.

cleverdumb 2024-04-14 13:51

damn the sound of it makes my ears hurt

jose-pedro-dias 2024-04-14 18:46

Everything should be working

jose-pedro-dias 2024-04-14 19:43

All of them or one in particular? (I bet it's the sound effect that plays when the bar is fully exhausted, when you'll be penalized with cells being removed. it's meant to be an annoying/worrying sound but maybe it's too much)

Nice, it worked better for me on the github link. the LD embedded player is too small so you need to scroll I think.

It's simple but entertaining. Not too related with the theme, also does not stand out for the graphics or the audio but it is not necessary. Another good part is that the game doesn't have perceptible bugs.

Very neat package! Extra points for rust :grin:

I started late. Struggled with the theme too. My take on summoning is that if you let the bar empty out, you'll lose random merges from the board. A bit farfetched, I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This mechanic becomes increasingly relevant as you reach higher levels. I expect some cursing at level 4 ψ

My first game with Rust/comfy. It was nice to use them.

hard to see how it relates to the theme, but fun little 2048 type game anyway!

I am speed.

Fun game, didn't really understand the connection to the theme though. Overall it's a neat game very similar to 2048. Decent polish, didn't notice any bugs. Good work!

Cool idea for a mechanic. Haven't got much to say other than I enjoyed it and everything works really well but I can see it feeling repetitive after a while. Nice work!

I thought there was no challenge at first. It took me a while before I understood that it wasn't so easy after all. I think there's a really fun game concept to be found here. Do you merge the many twos already into a 5, or do you wait for the explosion, as it could destroy that single 5. It's unfortunate that the sound effects are a bit loud and annoying.
