Wonderful graphics and audio!! Love the gameplay and the dinosaur theme! Things like the effects when you click groups make the game feel very polished!
Thank you for the compliments! And thanks for playing!
Great audio, great puzzle vibes, everything is very consistent. I love the shader/outline you give to act as a visual guide and see where the blocks are connected, adding an element of strategy to make the correct decision. Adding a timer would increase the urgency of the game, however this might not be the vibe you're going for. Very nice polished entry, thank you for submitting this !
Thank you for the great feedback! Yes, we were surely looking for a more 'chill' experience :)
Thanks for playing!
The audio is great and does not obstruct gameplay. The art is amazing and the previews for your actions are a extremely good addition. The gameplay is simple to learn but feels like it could have a high skill ceiling with the choosing where you place the blocks and the way magma blocks spawn. The gameplay itself is fun and super polished. Overall amazing job fantastic game. :D
Thank you for the awesome compliments ! :) Thanks for playing!
The game looks and feels very nice. You did a great job, keep going!
It's great to hear you liked it.
Thanks for playing!
Really cool mechanic and nice progression curve!
One thing that bothered me, after the lava-cubes fell, i had to click on each line to fill it up to the top again, but since i can only see the first block, couldn't that be done automatically?
Also, i would maybe make the level a bit smaller, it can be a bit overwhelming trying to take everything into account.
But on the whole, really great entry, could probably work well on mobile if you flesh it out!
Hey! Thank you for the feedback! Regarding the drop mechanic, once you start reaching those +13 levels, its most important to try to clear the board in such a way, when you get to the dropping phase that you can build those large clusters of colors ( +2000 coins ). So even if its only just one color, it can give huge advantage to the next round. :)
If we are going to work on this further the dropping mechanic will definately be something we will look into :)
Thanks for playing!
You got something pretty cool here! I got to level 13. The 'juice' like the screen shakes and bloom are great touches. I saw you said you're thinking of making this a mobile game - I think it would make a great one! Awesome work.
We appreciate the compliments :) Thank you!
Thanks for playing!
A really cool variation of the Collapse mechanic with this survivor theme AND gameplay! I really want more development of it, I think that a upgrade shop and some achievements (like Drawkanoid or Vampire Survivors) would be really nice to improve and bring more content to the table.
I've a feedback about the falling magma punitive dynamics: losing a column AND a life AND having even more magma in you is too much. Maybe focusing in just one (like losing columns) and going for high score would give a more pleasant experience.
Yeah it definitely could have more upgrade and achievement stuff. Our minds are running wild with stuff that could be added into the game! Unfortunately there is only so much you can do during the game jam. Balance is also hard to nail down in such a short time in these types of games.
Thanks for playing and giving feedback!
Fun game and good presentation, the tiny dinos are really cute, good job!
Awesome to hear! Thanks for playing :)
Fun concept. An autofill function would have been nice. Or maybe the player would pick 3 and the rest would auto fill i don't know. Had fun playing.
Hey! Thank you for the feedback, definitely need to look into the autofill mechanic if additional development is ever going to happen xD
Thanks for playing!
Really fun concept! I love the dino theme and then running around on the bottom. Feel like a solid game that was not made in two days. Good job!
Thanks! We're thrilled you enjoyed the dino-themed gameplay.
Thanks for playing! :)
Thanks for the feedback! We appreciate your support and will take note of your suggestions for future improvements. Enjoy the music and sounds!
Thank you for playing! :)
Graphics and music are top! Didn't understand the main goal at first, however effects are cool!
Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the graphics and music of the game.
Thank you for playing! :)
I enjoyed a lot the graphics and the music. The game was well polished and the music was fitting very well. Great job.
Awesome, thank you for the comment and thanks for playing! :)
really polished and presentable! I didnt quite understand how it fits the theme tho. Its enjoyable nonetheless and animations are super jucy
Roles are reversed when you try to save the dinos by blowing up rocks in the first phase.. Be the doom of the Dinos by dropping rocks over them. :)
Thank you for playing!
Thank you for the experience ! Loved the game a lot!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for playing!
So juicy! Both placing blocks and blowing them up felt hugely satisfying, both in terms of animation and the sound effects that went along with them. There was a fun tradeoff between wanting to get the largest combo possible, but knowing that at times doing so would bring the lava blocks much closer than I'd like to the final row.
Also there should be more games about dinosaurs and I am glad that you're doing your part to make that a reality :)
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed gameplay and sound effects. Dinosaurs are the best!
Really cool game! I love the art style of the game. The animations for the blocks popping and falling was also really nicely done. Then, the sound effects tied it all together. I can imagine playing this game on my phone all the time.
Thank you :) .. We are testing out mobile support so you can expect it after the jam upload block has ended :)
Thanks for playing!
The music and art are excellent, I love the pixel look and the dino theme is a good spin on Tetris. The screen effects and sounds are very effective! I found that manually refilling the board was a little cumbersome and felt unnecessary (unless there's a strategy to it that I couldn't identify?) but the reversal of identifying patterns to remove them for points, and being able to utilise them was fun!
Hey! Thank you for the praising words! Board refilling definately has a strategic advance as you can see the first color that drops, this way you can much more easily create large clusters of same colored rocks.. And reach those +15 levels ;)
Thank you for playing!
Cool game, but if I'm being honest, I have no clue what this has to do with role reversal. Is it because you break rocks but then also have to drop them every turn?
Yeah, thats the gist of it.. Save Dinos by blowing up rocks.. Be the DOOM of the Dinos by dropping them.. :)
Thanks for playing!
Love the visuals, the particles made every action so rewarding. I'm not sure I understood the rules, I felt like things were kinda happening and I was goin along with it, but the awesome visuals and fun block placing kept me at it x)
Well I guess as its a positive as there really aren't any rules to follow :) Don't let the magma rocks fall to the bottom and enjoy the clicking experience.
Thank you for playing!
