Amazing. Very original and creative concept. The mood, and camera angle and the pace are also engaging. The game fit into the theme with innovation in match three genre, and it is so unique. Although the rules and controls are easy to understand, I can see how deep the coupling between mechanics is. It is actually the best entry I've played so far. 

Developer

Thank you very much! It's great to hear that our game is the best entry you've played so far, and we're delighted that you enjoyed it so much.

While I didn't get the info at first (a tutorial or info menu would have suited well) when you really get into it it gets really fun! Nice concept, amazing visuals!

Developer

Yes we were too reliant on the sites game description for tutorial aspects while being a downloadable game. Definitely something to look into for future jams, thanks for the feedback!

A fun action-puzzler with chill vibes. I think the timing of the card switching lanes could be better indicated (maybe a short bar beside the claw). Good work!

Developer

Hey, thanks for the input and feedback, well take it into account!

Great game, great idea, really nice implementation and presentation given the little time on the projekt. Fun aspect is instant understanding, fast learning and much potential to master the game. Much potential there! Much love

I had to check this game out, since we have the same name... lol

The level of polish is fantastic, and the overall UX in the gameplay makes it surprisingly addictive. Those coins falling are great!

The random turn sequence makes it feel a lot more hectic in the later level, and I think it's a nice twist to the match-3 formula that keeps the game from getting too stale.

I ended with a score of 8940 on level 9.

Developer

Hey Eric, thanks for the nice Feedback from a similarly minded individual ;) and not a bad score at all!

I really enjoyed the game, its quite addictive. I was confused that you arent able to match vertically at first though.

Great Game tho!

Developer

First of all, thanks for the feedback! And yes we have actually thought about vertical matching since submitting the game... sadly not before submitting ^^'

Really nice aethetics and gameplay! Got 13100 points, level 8, in my playthrough.

I had a few situation where A) I was trying to place a card right when the game did, which caused me to mistakenly place two cards and B) I was confused as which "player" was the active player. If you're planning to continue development, I'd love to see the "player" highlight move/animate to the next "player" after placing a card. This would make it more clear who is the active player, and if placing cards is disabled during the animation it would prevent accidental double card placements.

Thanks for the insightful feedback, glad you like the visuals and the gameplay! We are thinking about continuing the development and would definitely improve some of the UX for further clarity. We actually added coyote time for placing cards, but didn't have much time to fine tune it.

Very polished, very nice.

Only problem I have with the game that menu buttons don't disappear in the background after you press options.

I thought it was confusing at first but then I read how to play on the game's page and it was quite fun actually. Got the score of 680.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing our game! Agreed on the menu buttons, probably leads to visibility issues, slight oversight which we unfortunately cannot fix anymore for this Game Jam.

Very well done game. I got a little bit surprised when I saw a very similar idea to mine, but we have interpreted it in completely different ways.

Great art!

This game is addicting!  I enjoyed playing this one for quite a while.  I think I only got to level 6 but I had some crazy combos going >:)!  It's a great idea for a game, and the polish is fantastic.  Definitely a highlight of the jam for me so far :]!

Wow great entry!

I had trouble figuring out what to do at the beginning, but when I understood it became really satifaying to chain combos!

My best was 15500 (level 9).

Developer(+1)

We didn't have enough time to add a proper tutorial, so we tried our best to explain it in the description. Glad you like the combos!
