this was super addicting -- felt like a game i could play on mobile whenever i want to pass time or get a new high score. i would've loved to have the ability to swap horizontal blocks and possibly have different modes of difficulty (i felt like it never really "ramped" up for block speed). otherwise, great job!!

Thanks for playing I'm glad you enjoyed. The music was from Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/music/acoustic-group-pirate-bay-guitar-376548/
Had to switch browsers to play it (for some reason the download wasn't working) but it was worth it! I kinda suck at these types of games, but I had a lot of fun! I got over 10k which I'm proud of. The gameplay is smooth and the inclusion of the enemies and their skeleton blocks added a really unique layer and charm to the whole thing which I adored. Really good stuff!

Kill or be killed Mario exeReally nice game with a great idea.
I really like the fact that it’s not a classic turn based match 3, but instead happens in real time. It’s a fun and refreshing twist on the genre. The game is very well made overall.
I’m not usually a big fan of this genre, but I still found myself enjoying the experience. The real time aspect adds tension, which personally felt a bit stressful to me, but I can imagine it being exciting for players who enjoy more dynamic gameplay.
The variety of enemies is great, and each one has its own behavior, which keeps things interesting. The special blocks like bombs and the compass are also a lot of fun and add depth to the gameplay.
Overall, this is a well designed, enjoyable game with a lot of charm, and it’s honestly hard to find anything to complain about.

Space Input OverrideThe game was a lot of fun. My 2 cents was that at first I didn't really follow what was going on with the guys on the side of the screen. (I did the same thing with Best Fiends on my phone lol) But once I understood my combos attacked and healed me it all made sense. If you can find a way to make the controls mobile friendly and slap some levels together with beating specific sets of enemies, you'd have more going for you than those best fiends/match 3 style games. Id download and play it. You could add levels and health that recharges and have a full fledge mobile game on your hands.

Soda ShakersThank you! Yeah I definitely should've focused a bit more on the tutorial but I didn't have time :(
You're actually 100% on track with what I plan to do with this game. I want to add more enemies such as a boss that will spawn an entire line of skull blocks. And I want to have a campaign with levels with sets of enemies that you have to get through. Of course still an endless mode too! I was going to do swipe for mobile controls. I'm time tabling this project for 1-3 months and hopefully reach out to you for play testing
The game is really fun. I’m terrible at this kind of game, but I still had a lot of fun. I just think a small tutorial at the beginning was missing — at least for me, I couldn’t quite grasp the idea of the game right away

Escape The Arcade MachineThings I like:
- The gameplay is surprisingly addictive
- I thought it was gonna be just another match 3, but changing places of any 2 pieces even if that won't make a match makes the gameplay suited for fast pace
Things that need improvement in my opinion:
- I can't pay attention to the enemies at all when I have to be so locked in for the main gameplay

Pixel BringersSimple, yet addicting! Is there any algorithm for which block the enemies decide to kill? I swear they kept doing me so dirty...
