Did your team create most/all of the graphics yourselves?
Yes I created it all using krita

Did your team create most of/all the audio yourselves?
yes I created it using strudel.cc but I had help with the code using chatgpt

How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
I thought of volcanoes when I heard "unstable" so I created a game with a volcano that is about to erupt. It's a match 3 game, but the pieces are also unstable and can catch on fire from the magma.

I really like the lava being the timer and you losing pieces as it rises. High stakes match 3 :D I wish there would have been some more feedback for when you make a good match, some vfx or animations. The little volcano's face is adorable.

Thank you so much! I am really grateful you made a video of playing it.  This is only my second attempt at a game jam and I have never had the chance to watch someone play my games.

It is nice game but could be expanded and better.

I really like this take on the match-3 game. The rising magma gave it a nice amount of intensity instead of the typical match 3 game where you you have a limit of turns to complete a level. I would've liked to have seen different abilities for matching different objects. Maybe diamonds could've halted the flow of magma for a bit instead of just having the water drops affecting the magma flow. Just a thought if you ever want to expand this. But really well done.

Thank you for playing and I love the ideas.  I honestly never really played match 3 games, but my wife gave me the suggestion when I couldn't think of a game with a volcano (which is what I wanted to use for unstable).  After the jam, I might add a bit more and definitely a replay/restart button.
