Really good implementation of the theme! I like the overall visual style even if it is a little generic, but it's still charming in a way.

Controls feels good, the music is nice too, the main problem to me is the main strength of the game - the 3 in row genre of games, but that's really my personal preference that not really a downside of the game in any way! Good game!

I had a lot of fun playing this game. It was very replayable and I had a lot of fun. Your take on the theme is very creative. Great job.


If you are interested, I would really appreciate it if you would play my game.

Really good game, I had a fun time playing! I really think match-3 battle games are so cool & relaxing at the same time. As for the difficulty, it got a bit overwhelming at the third stage as it was slightly hard to distinguish the water color from the platforms, so when it collapses I'd still think there was a platform, if that makes sense? So yeah, just a contrast issue, but other than that, this is a solid entry, another hidden gem IMO.

Really good concept! felt like a classic 2012 mobile game (thats a great thing i swear) something i could ply for hours tbh! With some more time in the oven im sure it could be insane!

It really surprised me, I would play this for hours if it was on my phone. Is a match 3 with an insteresing twist. The music gives it a great atmosphere. Great job!

Developer

thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it, not sure if we will continue on it after the jam but if we did we would for sure try to make it a mobile game

This was a neat concept! I liked it 3.8/5

Developer

thank you, we really wanted to try something unique with the exchange prompt

I really like the concept, very entertaining. With a bit more polishing, it becomes a fully finished game. Great job!

Developer(+1)

thank you! Not sure if we will continue with it after the jam but I agree for sure. Could also potentially work as a mobile game

Really fun, love the concept!

Absolutely love it! The twist on the Bejeweled game concept is really cool. The challenge level is just right, and it feels fair. One suggestion could be to slightly reduce the contrast in the background, so the platforms stand out more. Overall, great job!

Developer(+1)

awesome thank you! If we continued to work on it after the jam I will for sure change the contrast of the background, thank you for the advice.

Probably the most enjoyed game. Really love the take on the theme. I would love to play a full version of a game with concept. Well done :)

Developer

glad you liked it, it could potentially work as a phone app maybe! Thank you!

THIS IS GENIUS! This is such a cool idea for a puzzle game boss battle! I could see this as a full game, COOP, PvP! Well done!

Developer

thank you so much! Maybe it could be cool if we made it a phone app 🤔

Great game! I was really surprised at how intuitive the switching mechanics got over time. at the first boss I thought there was no way my brain could handle the mechanic, but it was actually pretty quick to figure out.

Developer

thank you! Glad you liked it!
