Great idea and nice design! It's amazing to see how you combine Tetris with match-three elements. It might be more challenging to add some count down if suitable. But overall the game has so much potential and I can see the depth behind the simple mechanics. Five stars and well done!
the clear effect is satisfying
Sound effects and presentation are very nice, especially the bonus points effect for clearing the screen. Gameplay idea is a fun concept but in practice doesn't really allow for combos like a match 3 or tetris-type game would. Might benefit from even fewer lanes, as it felt like it was pretty easy to line sets of 3 along the bottom to continue clearing shapes.
i agree, i might instead add another shape instead of removing a lane because otherwise it’ll feel to small in a way
Hello, on my computer the game has a bug in which I can not place the shapes on the screen, I have already clicked on the right and left mouse buttons and the shapes do not appear.
note : my pc is 64 bit and uses intel graphics
Hey, I have no clue what could cause this as I tested the game on my pc (also 64 bit & intel graphics) and nothing like it occurred might be with the resolution. I’ll look into it and maybe upload a fix after the voting period. Apart from that a I sadly can’t do much about it.
Really interesting twist on connect 3 games! I really love the depth behind the mechanic of being unable to place on the same column twice and it leads to some interesting strategy. Also just for fun I used the entire left half of the board to create a checkerboard pattern of squares and circles :p
It's just a shame that it doesn't account for 4 or 5-in-a-rows or horizontal + diagonals. With some animation and minor tweaks, it could have a lot of potential!!
Great game!
I feel like there should have been a little more substance to the gameplay, but it’s decent. I do wish it did something special if you make a symbol part of a row AND a column in one turn.
Tragically, this game appears to be broken -- nothing happens when I click to place a shape, except a sound effect.
I would like to try the game, but it seems I am unable to place any shape...
I think i encountered a bug, i couldn't place anything. Just hearing some sound from my attempt to click, but nothing happens.
Love the initial idea of reversed match-3
Interesting
