Really nice game! Good job!

really nice visual and sound design, but the star in the tutorial doesn't work for me for some reason

Developer

that's weird ... did you try reloading the game? moving a gem onto the star should blow up every gem of the same type

oooh moving the gem onto the star! i was doing the opposite

thank you, i'll give it another try

gave it another try: really addictive :)

Developer

thanks for playing!

i like that you made a great tutorial and i like art and idea awesome job :p

Nice and polished match-2 game !
+ Simple and addictive concept
+ Tutorial is well done. 
+ Nice graphics/animations
+ Nice musics/sounds
- Lack of atmosphere (need some background visuals)
- Font 
- Juicy (the expectation for this kind of game is lot of squizze and particles).

That's a great game. With some effort on background and juicy, it can surely please to a lot  of people.
Well done.

Fantastic visuals, and the animations on the gems made the game look really polished. Very well done!

Submitted

Great game! The art, sound and mechanics are all really well done! My one suggestion would be to add something to differentiate the special items from the gems, I kept wanting to connect the coins together. Overall really awesome game, I had a lot of fun!

Submitted

Great game. Sound, art, and execution are all on point. Would make for a really nice mobile game similar to Threes. Great work! Keep it up!

I liked the mechanics, sounds and music. Awesome game overall. What I disliked was the font. It looked kind of squishy and didn't fit in well with the art style. It should have been more pixely.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I am also not a fan of the font, but due to time restraints I had to leave it in to focus on more important stuff (:

Submitted

I see. Priorities!

Submitted

A good idea well executed. Graphics and sound fit together nicely, and once I got out of the usual match-3 thinking pattern I made great progress. Things like the hint system give this some extra polish, too. Very well done!

got a 6700 score, really close to clearing the screen. Great game, has a great polish: sprites, music, sound, it's all super pretty. The tutorial is really well designed! having to move the pieces instead of just reading stuff is nice way to learn the mechanics

Submitted

The game is really cool! Art is amazing and it really fits the theme! Music and sounds are awesome! Great job!

Submitted

Nice puzzle game, it makes me think carefully every move, and the additional rules makes the game less repetitive. Kinda wish the game was more skill-based rather than luck, but good job :)

Developer

thank you (: how would you make it more skill based?

Submitted

Such a fun, relaxing and addicting game! The art and music is fantastic and I really like your take on the theme. Great job!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

My biggest problem was that there seemed to be too many types of gems. If there was 2-3 less, it would have been a lot my enjoyable in my opinion, but it was still quite fun to play!

Developer

thank you for playing (: there is actually 8 regular gems, with only 2 low value ones, and 5 special items (shop, bomb, coin, star and strange doll/ghost). In other words, unless you get very unlucky, you have about 2 random regular gems for 1 special item, that balances out gameplay.  Do you have any suggestions to retain the same level of strategizing but making it simpler like you mentioned? Id like to hear more about this

Submitted

super poggers

Submitted

Really loved this, didn't think it was possible to put a unique spin on a bejewelled kinda game but really like how careful you need to be with planning your moves. The graphics and music really remind me of the casino levels from sonic games too lol. 

Awesome work, feel free to check out my submission too if you have the time :)

Developer

Thanks, Ill get to it in a bit (: glad you found it nice! Didnt want it to be a clone of something else, but it seems it was a bad idea to get people interested to give them the impression its a regular matching game

Submitted

Great matching game!

This is a great puzzle game. It's addictive and doesn't feel like a candy crush or Bejeweled clone.

Developer(+1)

Thank you (: I did not want the game to feel like it either, as I am not a fan of casual game myself. I am happy you enjoyed it! Sadly a game looking like Bejeweled clone attracts less the eyes as some other title :p

I love the graphics - low res but you can see it has been done with care and experience :)

I like the art too! It was the main thing that convinced me to join the project.
