A cool little match3 game. I will say that the fast moving background made it really hard to focus on the small sprites. I liked the music!
Very smooth match3 game, but the sprites are a bit hard to distinguish. My poor-eyesight struggled
Very good match 3, where we need to keep an eyes to not softlock oursel ! Cute pixel art (maybe a bit too messy) and very good soundtrack !! a great entry !!
here is my best
Great use of the match-3 concept here. If we had this in the early 90s it would have done really well and kept me entertained and out of my parent's hair for quite a while! A countdown timer with a leaderboard would have done really well to get the stress/tension levels higher along with replayability. Keep going, as this was well implemented and the audio was excellent. Good job!
Solid gameplay. Great soundtrack. The faces feel a little crowded. I'm assuming they are 8x8, which for the board size you chose leaves a lot of empty space.
I did end up noticing that if you make a T-shape (two sets of three that share one of the same pieces), it only removes one of the sets of three. Given that's been a feature since at least the likes of Bejeweled popularized match-three games as a genre in the early 2000s, it felt like a bug worth noting.
i like this puzzle game, its good for what it is, i like the music, although it's easy to get lost in the graphics, and i think i heard a Michael Myers "Halloween" leitmotif in there, so props for that.
you are definitely right about the motif
there are other references too :)
Really love the soundtrack! The art style is nice too, but it can be a bit overwhelming to look at for me. Also, if there was a bit more of a clear goal or way to lose, I think it could also make it more fun too. But still nice work!
Thanks for playing. The four-color limitation made it quite challenging to make the puzzle pieces distinguishable. I agree that the game could use some more work on that front. Also, I would definitely like to add win & lose conditions post-jam.
Cute and spooky implementation!
I do not think the world needs more candy crush man
my gf would vehemently disagree haha
I guess the cursor stays in the square where you started the swap instead of the one you finished at even though it doesn't look like it, which is a bit confusing. Also it is not clearly visible if you are holding a piece at the moment or no. The background is a bit overwhelming, but maybe you could make it start slow and make it go faster as you score. There is no way to lose now, so it could use a timer that also speeds up as you go.
Anyways I could see it as a gameboy time killer. I also like the art style
I enjoyed this. The music was super awesome. I think the face animation may have been a bit too busy, but my eyes did get used to it. I played until I maxed the score out. That says something. Nice job!
Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed the game and the music! haha

Cool match 3, I dig the style. It was a little tough being able to tell all the different pieces apart, but I started to get it.
A fun match-3 game! a shame you cannot go above 999 :D
Thanks for playing! The score issue was an oversight from when I had limited HUD spacing. I will change that after the rating period
I think the design of the pieces is cute!
