I didn’t really understand this before I read the instructions, but I got pretty hooked once I got the hang of it :D

I’m curious, why would you ever choose to skip taking points? And is there a good reason to not just pick the most numerous color?

I really liked the game :) awesome sounds and visuals, and an interesting design to boot!

Developer

In some situations, you'd choose to skip taking points to maximise score on the next round. For example, if you've got "+100", "/100" and "-10", it'd be a good idea to follow this sequence: "+100" (all numbers go red), "skip", "/100" (all numbers go yellow), "yellow". This will clear all yellow numbers (4 points each) and you'll get a x3 multiplier.

Thanks for your review! :D

Big Fan Of Pico-8. The theme interpretation is chef kiss. Graphic readability is unquestionable. The only critic I can say is the gameplay. I believe not many of us would understand how the game works due to lack of our math skill and skipping the instruction in description. Most of random player would do these mistakes and ended up thinking the game is too difficult or so and stop playing. But overall I Love it!

Thanks for your kind words! I agree that it's difficult to understand at first. I think an in-game tutorial would fix the issue though. That might be something to work on after the game jam ends.

Really nice game. It has a fun concept and is kind of challenging but in a good way. Well done!

Developer

Very very cool game!

It's simple, but really makes you think and plan about your next step. The fact that the transformation are random is a little frustrating at time, I really wish I could plan a little more in advance and make some sick combos.  Not sure if there could be a better way to present them... a card system of some sort maybe?

Anyway, super cool idea! Got a high score in the 1440!

Developer

Thanks for playing and your feedback! I like the idea of presenting the options in a card system, but because of the size limitations in PICO-8 I decided to show a compressed menu bar. My high score is 3178 so far :D

It was hard to understand but at least itchio page had a lot of explanation and this is a very interesting approach to the scale theme.

Developer

Thank you!

The game is really hard to get the gist of to start with, but I do have a really bad cold! It’s clean, polished and fun and a nice puzzle game to play. XD

Developer

Thank you! Glad that you like it :D

I always enjoy puzzle games with numbers, and this is no exception :)

Developer

Thank you! :D

Pretty difficult game to understand at first, would appreciate a tutorial but other than that it is pretty relaxing & satysfying game. The controls could be more clear. High score : 790

Developer

Thank you for your review! I didn't have time for an in-game tutorial, but I tried my best to explain the game's rules & mechanics in the description. But yeah, I agree that it'd make things easier to understand

very good game! Played a lot in one sitting, I like the mechanics, and the realistic scope. Bit hard to understand at first but I got into it after a few rounds :)

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! :D

Real nice one.  Enjoyed learning to use the multipliers a bit more.  I intend to come back to this later!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad that you're learning its tricks to maximise score. I like to see it more as a strategy game than a puzzle one
