I don't understand the difference between the top and right mode? But this feels great to play and I blasted through both modes one after the other because I was having so much fun. I agree that color and some musical changes would be very welcome, but I'd also love to see a timed random mode. I could see this being a very popular high score challenge if it had that!
p.s. I really appreciated that puzzle mode didn't have a timer. Especially without color coding :sweat_smile:
The Saga mode is the story mode. The one on the right is just all 6 pieces randomly placed and has no ending
Huh, the one on the right seemed to be the same for me?
Nicely implemented candy-crush-like game. The shake when matching is a great visual.
I mostly agree with Karri on the sound, though I will add there are some nice melodies in there, but the distortion on the bass sounds is rather discordant.
Overall really nicely done!
It looks very nice but now the jam is over, please use these 12 extra colors :D It is far easier for visual discrimination.
These is 1 thing that annoy me (maybe it is just me), as you can only move/swap if you manage to create a reaction, it is not user friendly to have to press B to unlock the selected gem and releasing the cursor. I would prefer to visually see the swap, then swapping back because nothing occurs and releasing the cursor.
But this is just a small detail, this is a really great job in such a few time.
Thank you, that’s a good suggestion! Should be easy enough to implement too. Agree this game is more suitable to more colours, I only picked it because I thought it would be a “quick and easy” thing, and wow, I was so wrong! Didn’t know that match-3 is a mathematically hard problem!
The visual intro is nice. I also liked the extra effort for providing texts at the start of the game and even codes to bypass early levels. The sound is pretty awful. I just had to turn it off after a while. The game itself worked nicely.
Thanks Karri, I am not happy with the sound either and agree it’s awful, I’m no composer!
Really well done Candy Crush clone! Very polished UI and multiple options. Now i'd like to see it... in colour, and with a few special candies ;)
Thank you! That’s the intent, but first we need to get through all the ratings!
