Like the idea, love the way you made it, sadly i ran into a problem, cloning some rocks and then got that error, i don't think this is easily reproducible, still well done.

@thoastbot Interesting, I haven't seen that. Thanks for playing and letting me know!

@cobear25 you see the 3 rocks in the top left, i didn't had those 3, but my bench got buggy and didn't let me choose new rocks, thats what i ended up with - but i couldn't reproduce the bug, so i guess no need to worry? Maybe more people will come and say something :)

I got the same issues and errors as @cobear25, seems like some null references and an issue with rock placement causing some kind of duplicate instantiation. BUT, aside from all that, something about the idea and the charming aesthetic really grabbed me. I'd love to see something further developed out of this in future. A pretty adorable and very-nearly addicting game! Great work!

Thanks so much @threeli I think I maybe found the bug. Pushing a fix now that'll hopefully resolve the issue. And thanks so much for playing!

cobear25 2025-10-06 15:26

@thoastbot @threeli I believe I've fixed the bug. Also fixed scaling issues on the Game Over screen, so you can actually see your final score now :face_palm:

I'll give it another crack here in a bit, I had fun with it the first time in spite of the bug - so that speaks volumes!

Cute and calming! Wish the stone ranking rules to be more clear. Love the soundtrack.

Rock and Stone, oh, just rock :D

- It is possible to move rocks out of the box when hitting them with a dragged rock, so it's not possible anymore to change them. - You can click on a rock in the box and it moves to the side, so it is possible to duplicate it and have the same rock thrice, is this a feature?

cobear25 2025-10-07 15:31

@oxropy Those are very much bugs. Didn't have time to really clean that up. The one thing that is a feature is that if you place a 4th rock in the box, the first one will be removed. So you can sort of manipulate it deliberately beyond placing the 3rd rock. Thanks for playing!

Cute entry. I like the sound effects the different rocks make. I didn't experience any bugs myself.

jk5000 2025-10-09 20:55

Sweet, fun and a bit weird. So overall a great little game.

Very cute game! It was fun to sometimes find a really unique rock among all the common ones!

Interesting concept. Maybe the scoring could be a little bit clearer, like having the row/column score update when you hover a space ? I liked the cute sound effects and the little faces on the rock as well. Nice entry!

cobear25 2025-10-11 13:19

Thanks for playing @ghettobastler! It actually is supposed to show the scores when you hover over a space, I’ll double check if that broke somehow.

I think there is still some duplication issue :D

To reproduce, take a stone you have in the bottom and drag it up out of the box. It won't visually show that it's getting dragged, but when you release, the stone will be slotted in the next slot while there is still an invisible copy of it in the first slot :)

Very fun little game though! Kinda reminded me of my own entry, looking for rares and figuring out how to get the most points out of it ;)

What's the most points you can get for a stone?

weirdbitgames 2025-10-17 18:37

Cute sound effects and adorable music. I like how it starts off feeling so simple and then you have to work out how best to display them for the most points! Clever!

blackcat508 2025-10-17 22:37

this is a cool idea! I really like the rocks faces lol

yoav-kagan 2025-10-18 08:50

fun idea! we also went for collecting rocks haha :)

ranejeb 2025-10-18 10:19

So this is how it feels being Hank from Breaking Bad :D

b0guslaw 2025-10-18 12:15

Fun idea, the sounds got a bit repetitive and I wish the UI would have been a bit more revealing which combinations and collections are better than hours, other than that a really fun and good entry!

Emotion Collection Simulator! I'm curious about how the scores are calculated. Do you get higher scores when the emotion is closer to the color?

cobear25 2025-10-20 20:13

Thanks for playing @yibirabbit007 If you click on the ? button on the shelf screen, it explains how the scoring works.
