Once I got into the game it was great fun. Thanks for the play.
Nice. Feels smooth to play. Fits theme perfectly. Well done!
A fun and unique game!
The UI was a bit cut off on the sides for me, whether I was in full screen or not.
I tried a custom round after doing the two presets, and found that either some dots had repeating colors or they had colors so similar I couldn't distinguish between the two.
Other than that it's pretty much perfect! I was worried when the game said it required patience and precision, since I don't have much of either of those. Yet I still found it very enjoyable to play. :)
The UI problem occurred most of the time when loading times were longer, but I could probably fix the loading message. For high score modes, I made a palette of colors. The custom game is a random picker, so that could happen.
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it very much!
Fun game. I'm afraid I would have spent quite some time on it if I wasn't playing with a mousepad :D
simple transfer of the theme, but challenging to play. nice game :D
Nice submission.
That was a unique refreshing puzzle game! Love the way you interpreted the theme!
Super fun game! I want to scream at that bouncing core! AAAAAA!!! hahaha!
the fact that you have to put your brain to work to separate the colors from each other is a fun challenge! Love seeing a original mechanic like this all!
Great job! definitely see this becoming a full fledge game release! ✨✨
Simple and well executed. Very fun
Simple, elegant, and fun! I was curious if the infamous "four-color problem" would come into play but I'm not sure it does. I like the aesthetics, great job!
I used something like a "true color pattern." There were several iterations with the colors, and everything is drawn in-engine. The second drawn circle was the solution for this kind of problem.
I love flow connect games like this a lot, so it was super cool to see a game like this but with an extra step of dodging the core. Very nice job.
Nice job, great mechanics, fun to play. What more can I say? :D
Interesting game! The idea is simple but simply mindlessly connecting the dots will only sabotage subsequent connections. Love the challenge!
that was quite fun. an interesting twist was that your own worst enemy was yourself, blocking your own way, which honestly led to surprisingly deep considerations.
Cool game and I really liked the twist on the main game mechanic - GG!
This is sooo cool! The graphics, music, fonts, everything just perfect!
Super fun, super frustrating, and super annoying when I softlock myself haha. I wonder if there is a way to introduce abilities that let you freeze the balls for a few seconds, because sometimes I have to trace some crazy routes just to dig myself out of a hole I drew myself into lol.
Really cool jam game! Simple concept and well executed. You really have to think ahead to get the best scores, it's easy to put yourself into a bind. I definitely score chased for a little bit. Nice work!
Pretty nice matching game with the added challenge of enemies that break your line. Easy to understand. I wasn't sure at first if I could go through other lines but you can, and I wasn't sure if the color mattered but it doesn't seem to. I played a custom game with 100 pairs and 50 enemies and at some point the colors repeat so you can't tell which pair is correct based on the colors anymore because there are multiple pairs using the same color. Overall nice and I like that there is a leaderboard.
what a cool take on an old favourite, I will definitely be back multiple times in 2026 alone :D well done on all fronts except maybe story, but that's obviously deeply fine for a game like this :D how did you do a leaderboard?
Thanks!
I tried a leaderboard for the first time and had to come up with some crazy solution because SilentWolf only sorts by highest, which is a problem with time! :D Apart from that, it was pretty easy, just look into SilentWolf. :)
Great game! I definitely had a 'facepalm' moment, though—I actually tried to connect one of the dots to the background image on the page! :') Aside from my own confusion, it was a lot of fun.
Yeah, fullscreen is really important for my game :D
