That's a great idea! Had a lot of fun playing it. I think some relaxing background music would fit very well, it could switch if you are close to losing. Keep going!

this is really cool! it's interesting to think about how to properly connect stuff, esp when you can't change it after connecting it, so you really have to think ahead. i like how if you mess up and accidentally swap something it doesn't immediately fill in the new space. i didn't really understand those circular empty space spots tho. very nice simple little puzzle game!

Submitted

Really interesting idea! It definitely felt different from most of the other entries I've played in the jam.

This is such a fun little concept I actually spent so much time playing this. I think simple is always better in my opinion. I like how the coins break up the level too, it can lead to some fun strategies on how to get yourself out of a bind! Always love a good color pallet swap too. Really addicting and simple to grasp. No big breaks here either! Good work :D

That was one of the most fun puzzle games I have played at a jam. Very creative mechanics. 

Hitting long chains is very satisfying. Each run you learn from your mistakes and make it farther and father as you learn to think ahead. 

Submitted

Maan, that's maybe the most creative idea on all the games i've played on this jam.

The graphics and sounds are nice too, made the gameplay loop even more interesting.

Really enjoyed playing it.

Congratss!!!

cool idea for the game. I love the forward thinking, so I need to build the path first but then start filling it. Very satisfying. 

The scrolling could be a bit faster.

Well done!

Thanks for playing. you can always speed up scrolling by pressing ‘enter’. I initially planned to add some incremental speed-up but then didn’t have time to add it.

this is so satisfying. really well done

Submitted

Very fun. Nice little puzzle game, enjoyed the concept.

Submitted

Nice game! It was fun to play.

Great unique idea. I wish I could speed sometimes so i don't have to wait till it goes down.

Developer(+1)

yes, you can, pressing [enter]. thanks for playing

It's a really cool game. I got totally hooked on it for a long time.

Submitted

Really fun and satisfying

nice game! really enjoyed it. Could be interesting to make the speed a bit more dynamic but I was personally happy with the pace.

Developer

thanks for playing. yeah, right. it would need some progression in difficulty, maybe through increased speed.

Submitted

Audiovisually really pleasing game, and the gameplay's pretty chill too. Nicely done!

Submitted

Almost scored max for me. I’m a sucker for puzzle games and I can see myself losing hours upon hours playing it during a long trip in the backseat, casually in the evening/night or while sit in the throne (we all know what I mean with it).

Soundtrack/SFX in my opinion lacks a bit but I cannot pinpoint why (maybe it’s the lack of a proper BGM? I don’t really know).

Good job tho! Actually fun and challenging.

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing. I agree with the missing soundtrack. we just didn’t have enough free time…

Submitted

Understandable homie! Great job anyway, really like it!

Submitted

Fun little game! The art is nice, the colour palette made me crave chocolate lol. Sound effects are very satisfying, I loved the gold pouring throughout the channels, and some music would make it even better!

I would have liked some tutorial, I still don't fully understand how the moulds are supposed to work, aside from the coin, but maybe that's just me.

thanks for playing. I agree that the different moulds are hard to guess / detect.

here's a spoiler

most of the patterns don’t need an exact match. so you can “enter” the gold with a “junction” or a “cross”
