Great job.
One small piece of feedback would be to translate the moves into pictures that can be understood at a glance, rather than reading full sentences.
Positioning the moves across the bottom of the screen might also speed up readability.
thanks for playing, we will try to keep in mind to enhance the UX a bit in our future jams
Nice idea and a fun game! For some reason, initially I though you shouldn't let the blocks reach 100 (or it will be too much to control), but that's probably just me.
I like having a timer for selection, so that you have to read, imagine what each of those options will do (approximately) and chose all in this short amount of time. The options themselves are also interesting, like putting monsters that you know will destroy some blocks a few turns after, or swapping colors so your whole setup look completely different now and now you have to change your strategy. I also like how sometimes the selection is very narrow, and all your choices are kinda bad, and you need to chose the least bad one (e.g. when choosing which blocks to kill).
Very surprised you mentioned almost all the points we focused on as we designed the game. Thanks for playing!
5/5. This is fun, very original, and indeed fairly out of control. This game deserves many more ratings.
thanks for playing and positive feedback
Wow, I'm shocked at what a good game this is. Really fun and fast paced! I enjoyed it a lot. I don't think it fits the theme super well.
thanks for playing and your feedback!
Ah, this is really cool! Fun and challenging unique puzzle game. I don't think it fits the theme too well, but who cares. This is a favourite so far.
happy to hear you had fun with our game! thanks
Very cool! Big brain stuff right here :D
thanks for playing!
This game makes me go YES!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
This is a fun and challenging game, really has you carefully planning your next moves. Good artwork too.
thanks for you feedback!! hope you enjoy other jam games as well
surprisingly this is the game i gave the highest rating until now! i had a lot of fun and felt so smart the entire time. i would have wished for a possibility to turn off the timer, because i my adhd made it hard to read all of the text and comprehend it and understand what kind of impact it will have within such a short amount of time. the art is very fitting and simple and i am just a big fan of the whole concept!
I'm glad you liked it so much! We thought about readability as well since we are all non-native English speakers, but did not have enough time to change them into more accessible icons. Anyhow being hard to predict kind of meets the theme "Out of Control". Thanks again for playing our game.
A lot of fun ! the art and sound are great. And the theme is totally respected. 5 stars !
thanks for all the big compliments
Very original and fun, best of luck to you!
thank you! good luck to you as well
Simple and fun. I would welcome just a bit more time for each action, especially when the board starts filling up. But great job! :)
