This is quite nice, love those memory games. Maybe missing a menu, but other than that its good. Extra bonus on mobile compatibilty ! 

Developer(+1)

Hi, thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The mobile compatibility was honestly unintended haha, but I guess lucky coincidence? Anyway, thanks again for playing! 

Submitted

Unique idea and very fun to play, with simple but effective visuals. Despite itch.io giving a warning saying this wasn't made for mobile, it worked perfectly on my phone and was an enjoyable way to spend some time 

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks for playing! I really appreciate all the feedback! The game wasn't intentionally made for mobile, but now knowing it also works for mobile, I've added that so it should say it works on phones. Thanks again for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is a classical game!! It's simple, but really well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

Fun idea! But I absolutely suck at playing this

Developer

Haha, yeah sorry about that! I do need to adjust the difficulty as it ramps up too fast. Hopefully, you still had fun! Thanks for playing!

Submitted

This is so brutally hard lol, and I thought I had a good memory. Are the number of each fish random? Sometimes you luck out and are looking for 2, sometimes you need to click half the board which is where things get really tricky

Also I really undervalued .5s at the beginning. So significant!

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks for your comment! I definitely agree with the difficulty thing. It's a little too hard haha. I mean, I could say this was a rage game and that it's a feature lol but that'd be kinda mean. The number of fish is random, with a minimum and maximum number, but I think also part of the difficulty is the minimum goes up really fast. The viewing time upgrade definitely seems useless but it makes a big difference haha. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing!  :)

Although a simple game, I found it quite challenging! Or maybe I am just tired :) The music with water visuals made it quite relaxing overall. Even when failing.

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks for your comment! It is a bit too challenging in my opinion (and many others) so you're not alone :) I'll be making balance changes so it's a bit easier post jam to address this. I'm glad the atmosphere was relaxing enough to take a bit of the frustrations away. Thanks for playing! :)

Submitted

Well now, I understand why I forget a lot of things. 🤣🤣🤣

Man... the 2nd round is hard but this game is GOOD! A very nice take on the subject! I've rated 50 games but I haven't seen anyone come up with the same idea till this point. Well done sure!

The game is fun and the presentation is flawless. Great job!

Developer

HAHA no yeah I totally get it, memory is definitely not my strong suit either. I do think I made it a little too hard, so I'll be making it a bit easier for sure. I really appreciate the kind words and positive feedback! Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

Submitted

That's a very good idea, but boy is that hard lol, it reminds me of those videos of chimps memorizing and pressing numbers on a screen in order, apparently chimps are better than us at that kind of stuff. My best score was 3, but I liked it!

Developer(+1)

Haha, yeah I actually got inspiration from the human benchmark test! It's interesting since you're the first to mention that haha. The game is a bit too hard right now, so I'll be adjusting the difficulty post jam. I'm glad you were still able to enjoy the game despite it being suuuper hard haha :) Thanks for playing! 

Submitted

nice job! hard but fun

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'll definitely be adjusting the difficulty so it's a little less hard haha. Glad you enjoyed playing! :)

Submitted

very fun but unforgiving game

Developer

Thanks for the comment! I will be adjusting the difficulty since it's definitely a little too hard. I'm glad you still enjoyed it though! Thanks for playing! :)

Submitted

Super cool game, really enjoyable. Loved the shop upgrade concept.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I appreciate the kind words!

Submitted

Cute puzzler with a well balanced upgrade mechanism there :)

Initially I thought I was going to be great at it- and there the board got bigger :|

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing! The board is probably expanding a little too fast, so I'll adjust the difficulty for sure haha. But yeah, I hope you enjoyed playing! :)

Submitted

I was fooled by the cute art, this game is super hard haha!

I liked the cute vibe and the shop mechanic!
Maybe the link to the jam theme is a little weak, but you did a nice job on this fun game, congrats : ) 

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing! Haha, sorry I didn't mean to trick you with the art :) But yeah I agree the difficulty definitely needs to be turned down a little, and the tie to the theme isn't super direct either. I appreciate the feedback! Thanks for playing! :)

Submitted

The upgrades were a really clever idea to motivate the player to keep playing. They all feel significant and there's no one obvious pick. Nice work!

Developer(+1)

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad the balance of the upgrades seemed good, as I wasn't sure if like one was an obvious choice. Thanks for playing! :)

Submitted

I liked concept of the game, having upgrades in a memory game but i'm not sure how it fits in with the theme of the roll of the dice but its still a good game nevertheless. I will say that any above a 4x4 was near impossible to do correctly so maybe put that at a lot later level. Good job!

Developer

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I agree with you on the difficulty, it's way too hard too fast. I'll definitely make it easier. The tie-in to the theme is a bit weak, I agree since the dice is kinda done half-heartedly and the only other tie is the randomness. But yeah, hopefully, you had fun! Thanks for playing! :)

Submitted(+1)

I like the idea of having a shop in a memory game! I still couldn't get past level 10 though, 5x5 was way too hard for me.

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing! You made it pretty far tbh! But yeah, the difficulty is definitely something to improve on. Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting take on the theme!

What I liked?

- The upgrade mechanic to improve the skills is a good idea

- The visuals are cute and well made

Other comments:

- The difficulty is a bit too hard at start for my taste, then when I earned a way to improve my capacities, it went a bit harder with more fish at screen. So I think that it would be nice to master first the one 3x3 with several upgrades, then increasing the difficulty.

Overall nice work!

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks so much for playing! You're definitely right about the difficulty, as it seems to be the consensus that it's too hard. I appreciate the detailed suggestions a lot. Again, thanks so much for playing and really appreciate the feedback! :)

This game reminds me of when I was a little boy playing memory with my grandma! I like it! Visuals are really neat! 

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing! I'm glad it was able to bring back that feeling of nostalgia! :)

Its cute and the imput feedback is on point.

The core Gameplay loop is simple, but pretty well executed. It's pretty hard although. With some balances and tweaks, it could become a pretty solid game.

Developer

Thanks for the comment! I agree the difficulty is definitely too high, and it seems that most people also think that too. Sadly, I realized this too late for the jam, but I'll definitely be adjusting things later. I really appreciate the feedback, and thanks for playing!

Submitted

That's pretty common to happen in GameJams. There's almost no time for balancing, and a fine tune comes with time and lots of experience in game design.
Yuo have a good game, and it will become better with the adjusts ^~^

Submitted

Time passed so fast! It's too hard for me lol

Developer

Hey, thanks for your feedback! I realized the difficulty curve is pretty rough, so I apologize for that haha. The shop kinda helps but I don't think it's enough. But I hope you were still able to have some fun! I appreciate you stopping by to play my game :)
