The visuals are super nice and I really like the unique touch of the fisheye effect. The music fits perfectly as well. I It's one of those games that you want to play over and over again. It reminds me of Tetris, this simple game that one could play for hours. Great job, and keep it up!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am happy that you enjoyed playing :)
I was indeed fun you did not lie! thanks for adding an easy mode to make me feel smart temporarily
Haha :) I am glad you found it fun to play! I am sure you would also be able to figure out the hard mode... ;) Thank's for the comment!
such a cool puzzle game. Congrats for making it so smooth. The aesthetic is also so on point
Thanky you for your comment! :)
Unfortunate with the crashing issue, I was doing quite well! I really like the two modes. Very juicy game feel. Well done!
I am happy to hear you enjoyed the two modes, thank you for playing!
neat puzzles! reminds me of thin ice from club penguin. pretty nice art and music too.
Thank you for playing! :)
Criminally underviewed!
Aesthetic is immaculate! How do you get that fish eye and scanline effect?!
Really good puzzles too! Would be a smash hit mobile game i reckon!
Very well done and polished, I did have an issue where it ran out of game memory or something so it would black screen and I had to refresh but other than that it was fantastic!
Thank you so much for leaving such a nice comment! I used a shader to make the effects, you can search for CRT effect to find something similar. I agree that the game is a little "underviewed", do you have an idea why? Is it the thubnail, or the description maybe? If you have an idea on how I could improve, I would be happy to take any advice :)
Thanks for the tip. Haven't dipped into shaders yet.
Sorry I don't have much advice for you as this is my first game and game jam so I'm not an expert.
I have just been playing heaps of other games and leaving comments and that's gotten me a few more than I otherwise would have.
Welcome to the world of game development! I wish you best of luck for your first gamedev entry.
(Your strategy seams to be working, you already got more rates then me :). Maybe I need to adopt it too)
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I hope your game gets more eyes, it's far better quality than mine hahaha
really polished, and i enjoyed the sound effects! i could see this being a game i would play on coolmath or something.
Thank you! I am planning to release a improved version on one of these platforms ;)
Honestly, not expecting to have loved this so much!
Honestly, not expecting to have loved this so much!
I am glad you loved playing, thanks!
Wow. Everything works perfectly together. The gameplay is great. It is easy to get and after the first 2 levels you just want more of it! I can really imagine how you can make a great full fledged game out of this.
In addition your artwork is super nice and the fish eye effect really fits. You also chose the perfect music for this. Anyway, this has great potential. Keep up the good work!
Thank you a lot for the kind feedback!
Ahh, pretty sad that it crashed. This is an extremely nice concept, crazy puzzle potential if expanded more. Great work!
I am happy to hear you liked it! Did you have a particular idea to expand the concept? I would love to hear your feedback :)
I never anticipated developing such a concept, particularly within the 'countdown' theme. This is not only unique, but I also do not recall encountering a similar gameplay experience. Furthermore, the game's core mechanics were remarkably intuitive to understand. I am genuinely impressed. The art is a whole vibe on its own! Our small team is currently developing a video game, and we are exploring the possibility of integrating this work into our project. Specifically, there will be a brief arcade machine sequence for a secret ending. Full attribution would be provided, and we would also extend an invitation for you to join our team.
Once again, this is an outstanding concept. A mobile game release would be highly recommended!
-StatusLazy team.
Thank you incredibly much for your amazing feedback! I would love to get a collaboration between our games going, please message me privately to get in touch :)
A cool little puzzle game - I really like it. it would be great to see this expanded with some different types of tiles or something.
Thank you for the feedback! Do you have an idea for a new tile in mind? I would love to hear it :)
I don't know, maybe an ice tile that you slide along, or a tile that adds 1 to neighbouring tiles.
I really love artwork, I like Pixel Art with CRT effects, the screenshake and the sfx are also really good and the music is fitting. The concept was easy to understand and Intuitive, my only real issue was that I could not go into fullscreen.
Thank you for the nice feedback! I added the fullscreen button now :)
I think there already was a fullscreen button before, it just has black edges around everything when I go into fullscreen, making it pretty mucg stay the same size, maybe that is just an issue for me though
Oh, I see what you mean. I will try to fix it, but I am not sure if I can do that without uploading a new version of the game. For now, you can get rid of the black borders by holding CTRL and scrolling while hovering with your mouse outside of game screen. Hope that helps :)
Good game design! The effects when destroying the blocks are satisfying.
Thanks, I am happy you enjoyed it :)
super fun!! I loved the concept, and the visuals were so cute! really good game! :D
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback!
This was quite fun. The aesthetic is and overall presentation was great for the game it was. Great use of audio. Good visual feedback. Pretty strong prototype that I feel like you could take further.
Thank you for the motivation! I will do my best.
Really nice puzzles, and real nice shaders. Could be more satisfying when solving a puzzle.
I appreciate your feedback and will try to make the reward more satisfying :)
I think this is a really great puzzle game but I felt that the CRT effect / screen shake was a bit intense and took me out of it a bit
Thank you for the feedback! I will reduce the effects a little after the jam.
I like it
I am glad you enjoyed it! :)
