The music speeding up almost gave me a heart attack - so good!

Really fun game.

Loved this. I sometimes get the urge to make a puzzly-game like this but I can never get it right lol

Like the macth 3 game with a gold style as color pallet.

Real nice, I struggled to tell the difference between the similar gold nugget shaped items, even with the slight sparkle on some. But other than that, really enjoyed playing. Great job.

All the nuggets are functionally the same! There's four different sprites just for the sake of variety. Thanks for playing; glad you enjoyed!

Oohhh I see, thanks for the clarification.

Really fun game! Pixel art looks really nice, and the music is also great! Gameplay is simple but addictive, and the overall game is very polished! Got a score of 56290; had a blast playing this one, keep it up :D

The puzzle loop feels solid and the whole thing is polished. The art is cute and the mole animation gives the game a lot of charm. It plays smooth and the rising tempo in the music is a nice touch. (pls play my game)

U got me with this one only because I’m a sucker for Tetris/Dr. Mario like games. Also awesomely polished, pretty balanced and fun!

Great job dude, grats

Good game! But controls are a bit confusing.

thanks for the feedback! it should just be A/B with arrow keys like the game boy, and I tried to use two standard mappings for those keys to keyboard. simplest is arrow keys to move and Z to swap blocks. and thanks for playing, hope you enjoyed!

liked the gameplay, felt really solid. The music increasing in tempo as you get higher to the screen was a nice touch. fun little game!

Developer
