I like the retro visuals, especially the title animation.
The inspiration here is fantastic. A seven-segment clock is your playing field, and you complete it to advance the game.
It thematically, and through gameplay, is a solid experience about numbers, and fighting back against a running clock. It took me a couple high scores to realize the 7-segment I was filling out _was_ the clock. Wow, reset the time indeed. Literally fighting against the countdown.
Multiple high scores? One major downside is that I couldn't particularly find much game for the game. With only 10 numbers in the game, you just throw the small pieces into the clock until you can complete the eight, which you can do two or three times in a countdown no issue. Not only did I not particularly have a win condition, I didn't really have a loss condition either. Just a really really cool mechanic.
I have to give due credit to thinking out all the implementation surfaces of this mechanic though. If rarely my Z piece was going to miss a hit, I could just stow it and try again. The controls were intuitive and snappy, and I didn't have any issue beckoning the gamplay surface to my bidding.
And of course the lovely touches like the introductory animation are charming enough to win ratings and hearts. Music is snappy, the UI is minimal which, considering we're fighting a UI element, the countdown, is very nice. I don't think the implementation here needs any more polish, just some added dynamic scope and challenge would give a huge reason to play more! xxx :)
Thank you for your feedback! Woll implement in the full game!
Its a really cool idea! The game was pretty fun.
Thank you very much!
Wait thats such a genius idea!! Im already hooked, I love grid based game. Im adding this to my collection to play later, now im on mobile. If you agree I would maybe make a remix in pico 8 adding my own twist. Please make a full game!
Alright! Thank you so much... Will update you when the full game is out. Thanks again!
Your welcome to make a remix, just don't forget to tag me and mention the music creator - srikrish
Interesting concept, I played this on Mac and couldn't resize the window which cut off at the bottom of the screen - so couldn't properly play this one.
sadly I can’t fix that problem now, as I’m not at home and the jam is over, but I’m planning on making this a full game later and will fix it then - thanks!
yeah no worries - just thought you’d want to know :)
Thx! I had to make the mac app on a GitHub extension and I dint really have a mac so I couldn’t test it - appreciate your feedback!
