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!

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 !

Developer

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

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!
