Congrats on top 100, I really enjoyed this one!
Thank you for playing! We're honestly so surprised and thankful to have made it with all the great games in this jam. Happy to hear you enjoyed!
The game has a really great satisfactory feeling<3
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for playing :)
Really nice game! I love the concept and it feels really good to pull off creating a large group!
Thank you for the feedback- very happy to hear you got some good feeling combos!
Very fun concept. Placing animals was sooooo satisfying.
Thanks for playing! Happy to hear you found the placement satisfying, that’s definitely a really important part of our design.
Fun game
Pretty neat little game. Would have like to be able to rotate instead of just flip, but it's cool as-is :)
We can't make it TOO easy for you!! Happy to hear you enjoyed, thanks for playing!
Fun and satisfying.
Music really fits the game.
Thanks for playing- glad you enjoyed the music too!
Super fun puzzle game! Really only gripe I have is some of the colors are a bit too close so the final stage had me putting some tiles in bad spots due to not being able to really tell what the animal icons were anymore. Though I wasn't playing in fullscreen which likely alleviates that lol Great job though! Really has that early Xbox Live Arcade vibe I didn't realize I had so much nostalgia for.
Thanks for the feedback! It was definitely hard to get the balance right when it came to size as we were scaling out with the zoom level. Fullscreen does help like you said, but that doesn't mean we can't still try to improve!
Excellent game 'juice'! The visual feedback and pulse sound helped make this very satisfying to play and I really enjoyed the neon styling!
Thanks for noticing! We spent a bunch of time on these effects so it's nice when people recognize them.
Very unique game, great ideas! After the first expansion I realized I needed to think more about the future... Really cool puzzle, and you did a good job of picking unique colors for the tiles to easily distinguish between them (at least as a non-colorblind person). Good work!
Thanks for playing! We definitely wanted to keep your first play feeling like "How big are we getting?" and your second play+ to feel like "How big can I score?"
Oh my god. Super interesting concept, liked it so much! Played three times in a row. Nice job!
Thanks for playing, we're really glad you enjoyed, and happy we could hook you for a few in a row ;)
Amazing game and very addictive, nice job !
Thanks for playing, hope it helped you get some gains in your brains!
Hahaha clearly xD
Really amazing, I love everything about this game, the neon style, the really clear animal drawings, the original gameplay idea and how well it fits in with the theme.
I could play it for hours, it's so satisfying when you manage to make great combos.
After 3 games my best score is 6174, still a long way from yours ^^'.
If I could just suggest an idea for improvement, it would be to add, like in Tetris, the possibility of putting a coin aside to reuse it later.
But it's already a great game, I love it, good job! :D
Thanks for the detailed comments! That's a great score- happy to hear you stuck with it.
We've actually been experimenting with the idea of each filled level becoming a tile of its size to be placed on a larger level. Maybe a little too crazy but we'll see!
really fun game and unique idea! maybe adding a zoom feature would be nice, but overall super enjoyable!
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed. We definitely think a more dynamic zoom would be interesting, and it would be totally necessary if we ever made the grid expand any further.
I found this game very addicting. I adore matching games, so this one caught my eye. The neon colouring was also a very fun way to draw the player in—I really liked that! The music was phenomenal for such a game—not too loud and groovy enough that I felt like I could concentrate on what I was trying to do. My only issue was that when the grid got to its largest size, I had a hard time seeing which animals were which. Some of the colours are very similar, and so I would place one, thinking that I got a match only to not get one. Overall, I had a great time playing this game.
Thank you for the feedback! We do have some accessibility concerns for sure surrounding color and visibility- we'd love to make some updates there once the jam is over. Happy to hear you had a good time though :)
Very nice concept with such vibrant colors! I enjoyed it!
Thanks for playing; glad you had a good time!
Really relaxing and enjoyable game! At one point I thought the playing field would expand to infinity
With a few more updates, maybe we'll reach that infinity. A blue whale sounds like a nice addition, no?
Really addicting gameplay loop. I could see myself losing a lot of time to this! Great work
Thanks for playing and joining me in my own addiction to this thing!
This game is so much fun. I found myself sinking over an hour into it just trying to beat my last score (Peak score was around 3500). Hitting big combos really felt satisfying. I'd say the only thing that took me out of it, was when I would place a tile down, then the very next tile ends up being a much better option for the space I just filled. I don't know if my luck is just bad but that happened so often. I respect that it's part of the game, but if there was another game mode that showed you what your upcoming tile is, like Tetris does, that would be even more enjoyable.
Overall amazing job on making an endlessly addictive game!
Thanks for the detailed comment! We definitely considered showing the next tile up; we might mess around and see how it goes :)
Glad you had a good time with it!
A really fun game with a core loop that's really addicting and a lovely neon art direction :]
So glad you had a good time- we’re fortunate to have a professional graphic designer on our team, and her work really carries us sometimes!
