I tried but had to sacrifice all my people, I didn't understand the connection between the matches and the door pieces. I think you should keep working on it though.
cheers

Developer

Yeah, sorry about that. The door pieces are not very visible behind the gems, was my next priority but didn't have time for it.

Thank you for playing and for your feedback :)

Love the smooth transitions of the tiles, somthing I couldnt managed with Gem Mountains so much last year. You using some form of Tile swop? Or physics dropping the tiles down?
The checking and matching system is fast and responsive to, great job! :)

Developer

I must admit, I took most of the system from Code Monkey's match 3. It's simply a time-based linear movement between two positions, you can take a look at it here : https://github.com/ffortat/sacrimatch3/blob/73d8fb089e832723cf5a23e99c7defbbeee2...

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)

I love Match 3 games and this puzzle twist is a great idea! I only noticed the tile outlines on the second game, so perhaps make those more visible? Well done!

Developer

Yeah, thanks for the feedback. I identified this issue but didn't have time to fix it. Was definitely next in the todo list

I enjoy games like these. I was getting a little frustrated though because I don't know what was giving me a piece of the door and what wasn't. I tried it twice to see if I could see a pattern but I'm still not sure. I lost both times. I think there are supposed to be 4 levels but I always lost at the first door. I thought it was you had to connect 4 and they have to be different colors but that didn't hold up later.

Developer

Sorry about that, in fact the pieces are behind some gems. You can see them when the match 3 is setup and then if you look closely, you can see them behind the gems. I identified the issue but didn't have time to fix it :/.

Thank you for playing and for your feedback :)

A fun match 3 game!  Cool idea and good visuals.  Add some music and you will have a very good game.

Congratulations!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, didn't have the time to add music but it would have made for a better experience :)
