So good!!!!

I love the murder board-style connectors, and the initial difficulty ramping feels well paced to get a chance to get the hang of things before too many colors jump in. Great job!

A really good game, I like the visuals of the strings. It gradually gets quite difficult.

Fun! I like how the comboing works, it tugs at brain cells l😅

Great to see another PICO-8 game! It might be a small thing but I'm really in awe of the physics of the connecting lines, practically behaves just like real string! Also you're probably aware but there's a tiny bug where the falling cards turn invisible. Not sure of the trigger but it was around when I was rushing it towards one side of the screen.

I am not aware of the bug at all. Do you have steps to reproduce or any clue that might lead me to it?

I don't remember the exact steps, will try it again tomorrow but I was frantically pressing left to move a card across the screen. It happened twice in a period of time and I believe two different coloured cards as well.

I tried a couple more times, it only appeared once again and seemingly late game. It would happen as the card was falling, around the 2nd row from the top on the first column on the left. I believe in this case it was a light blue card and it just completely melded with the background colour. In the bug I experienced before, the card was still "there" and cards could stack on top of the invisible card. Perhaps it's to do with pal()? If that's the way you're producing all these colour cards.

Oh late game was the clue I need. Seems I forgot to cap the colors at 8 in the latest version so that it would use empty sprites for colors 9 and so on. I don't know if this was the problem in the earlier version as well. Thanks for helping out

More games need a SWAG counter

Took me a while to get it, but it is pretty fun and satisfying. 
Had a lot of fun playing it!

Working out how to get long combos with the strings is so fun.

The concept and mechanics are really good
The execution of the wires turned out great too!

Fun, but gets tough fast. Nice work
