Nice game, maybe could be nice to have an indicator for what numbers are available on the board at a given time so you don't spend time trying to find a number that isn't possible. Great game otherwise.

Developer

The whole point of the game is that you are supposed to search for the numbers yourself, so you have to rely on your own judgement to know whether or not a number may be possible to find. Glad you enjoyed it though!

An interesting mindfulness game

Nice game, kept me entertained for a bit. 4 long numbers are hard to come by, but 5+ never showed up. I'd like some mechanic to remove them eventually so they don't clutter up the board. Also, it would be nice if all new numbers are guaranteed to exist on the board so we can try hunt a long one rather than depend purely on luck

Developer

Thanks for playing it for so long! I think if I managed to add more polish more people would enjoy it for longer. And yes, after playtesting it myself (after the jam was over unfortunately), I definitely agree that the player should have more control over the numbers on the board, but I was thinking more along the lines of giving the player powerups and abilities to swap numbers/remove cells/etc. as the game went on. Your idea of new numbers being guaranteed to exist on the board might not be effective though, because every time you destroy a number the numbers above it fall and that may make some numbers no longer pickable on the board.

I really like the concept! It would be nice though if there were a little less numbers right to search for but instead all of the searchable numbers would definitely exist somewehere in the grid. 

Developer

Thank you! Actually my original idea was to have something like "Wordsearch with gravity", where each time you find a word it disappears and gets filled by the blocks above it, but I realised that that most likely meant pre-planned grids with no replay value, so instead I opted for an infinite falling grid where you could keep playing as long as you can find numbers.

The idea is cool. This can be a really good mobile game if you polish it enough and publish it. And i would play it 

Developer

Thank you! Not sure whether Godot can port to mobile or not though, I will need to check it out.

The game is pretty cool, although the theme interpretetion is a bit bad. Also, I would've loved to have  diagonal + straight line movement, but I guess that breaks some stuff so I don't mid it. Well done!

Developer

Thanks, but what do you mean by diagonal+straight line movement? If you mean the blocks falling down, I honestly never thought of diagonal movement as pretty much all such games just have vertical movement.

I really enjoyed the concept!

The color scheme was pretty hard on the eyes for me but I enjoyed the different modifiers the numbers give you.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm not great with colours (or art in general) and I think in hindsight I made the colours too saturated (probably should've picked a rainbow colour palette online), but glad you still enjoyed it.

I like the concept, It's simple but satisfying and kind of peaceful. The game would be great with some slow relaxing music.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Totally agree about the music, but as you might expect I didn't really have time to add audio.
