Fun and relaxing game. I've enjoyed it.
really fun emjoyed it
This is an interesting game. My best run was 36 turns with a score of 32,815. It's a lot harder than I thought, and getting a good start feels quite luck-dependent. Overall, nice work!
Interesting little game, very mine sweeper-esque, I do think the distance from the guest could have been a little clearer, perhaps showing the tile colour when you click on a tile initially, not just when a pair is matched. Admittedly that could make it too easy so its hard to say.
Fun game! I really like memory match games like this. I might have missed something but is there any way for the player to infer where the uninvited guest is before selecting it and getting game over? I know you mentioned it was inspired by minesweeper so that mechanic probably came from that. Like others have said, adding a color variation to each icon definitely ramps up the difficulty. Nice job!
The colored tiles give you an indication. Red = 1 Tile away, Yellow = 2, Blue = 3 and Green =4. You kind of watch the colors of the tiles to see what areas may be safe to click. The only one that is just luck is the first match. After that you have the colors to guide you.
Interesting! Thanks, I will need to go back and try it again now . Its a great game!
I like the minesweeper/memory game mix! I had a hard time with the memory mechanic - more unique sprites rather than colour variations might have made it easier. Great work, keep making games!
You are exactly right. The color makes it difficult to remember. They way I did it I only needed 6 different kinds icons with 4 different colors. If I had done it the proper way I would have needed 24 separate icons. Now that I have time I might go back and do that
Thanks for playing and the suggestion.!
Feel like we jumped in at a hard difficulty level.
Could do with ramping up from a smaller board with less different pairs (maybe even more then just 2 of the same tile type), and build up some levels from there. Help the player learn the signs of where the unwanted tile is.
But great job on this, it's a great Jam game entry :).
You are not alone, others playing the game have also mentioned that the colors as well as the board size were a little difficult. You are also correct about the ramping up to bigger boards, and icons. I am trying to decide if I will update the game and then see how it works.
Thanks for playing it is greatly appreceiated.
I managed to click 104 times before hitting the uninvited guess which feel like a bit of a miracle :D. This was a lot of fun. It was surprisingly difficult to keep track of the different colors of the same picture. Thanks for making this.
Thank you so much for playing the game. I have had some players express that the board could be smaller and the colors could be more distinct. Have more icons, all the same color. I might update the game
Thank you so much for playing. It means a lot to a developers to have his peers comment on their game
Nice, fun game! 😊 Right now the core relies on luck and memory. I think adding a skill element would take it to another level.
A couple of ideas:
Great job, mate! 👍 If you get a chance, I’d love for you to try mine too: Uninvited Chickos, a Halloween rhythm runner with two chickens escaping a goblin feast 🐔 Let me know what you think!
Those are excellent ideas. Thanks for playing the game, and thanks for the great tips!
A lovely memory game, it was really fun to play. Thanks for making it!
A very interesting mechanic!
It was even a bit nerve-wracking, since you have to keep track of what was where and which tiles\area to avoid clicking
I would have liked to hear a slight click when pressing a tile, but overall, I had a great impression
Thanks for creating such an interesting game!
🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃
The click is a great idea. I will put that in.
Thanks for playing the game it is greatly appreciated.
🎬 P.S. Here is my let's play!
▶ Watch: Uninvited Guess, let's play (15 min)
With the moment I finally got the rules
Thanks again for playing the game. So very kind of you
Love the unique concept, and love its the "UNINVITED" word.
There is a bug for scoring that i can choose the same 2 pictures and keep increasing my score.
Great work!!
So, glad you found a bug. I will get started on that right away. Thank you so much for playing the game.
Interesting Idea! Wondering it could have started as smaller board for an easy mode to get to understand the mechanics better. Nice cozy music, too: :)
You know I thought about that. Easy mode would have been a 5 x 5 board, then normal is the 7 x 7, and then hard was 9 x 9. Maybe I will do that after the jam is over.
Thanks again for playing, and thanks for the game idea.
Nice looking game. More challenging than I initially thought it would be. Liked the music. Good submission.
Nice little game. Did take me a while to get all the pairs
This game is hella fun, try to memorize not only the shape but also color make this game challenging but also very satisfied to beat
Seems my memory was a bit slow after 10 days of jam sprint and so I didnt beat you game - but it was fun! :D
Uninvited guess was unexpected end of my journey. Good work! :)
Thanks for playing my game. Greatly appreciated.
Hey Beebster! Glad you made your entry this time around a WebGL build. Wanted to give your last game a go but only play the browser games. This was super fun! Loved minesweeper back in the day and who doesn't like guess who or a matching game. Nice touch on the uninvited icon. Zero bugs, plays great. UI is super clean too. All around great job dude!
Thanks for playing brother. Glad you enjoyed the game!
