This is very cool! I liked the concept of this an awful lot and think the simple graphics are extremely efrfective. Kinda tetrisy - didn't feel like a low res game at all but something pretty complete! Music and effects really work. Just could do with a little more direction and some more variation - definitely something to develop!

Did you work in a team?
This was a solo project.
Was the resolution a challenge?
The resolution was not a problem. The game I wanted to make needed just a grid that was 4x4 so 64x64 was a lot of pixels to work with.
What did you learn?
I learned a lot. This is the first game I've ever made, so basically everything was a new learning experience. I've never worked in typescript at all before and all the phaser stuff was new. I am grateful for my brother, who helped me with a lot of code errors, and the phaser tutorials in helping me accomplish this goal.

Great job! Really neat idea to have the rules of the game change as you play. I like the simplicity of the whole thing. Good music too.

TamagoCity 2029Great first game! I kinda like the idea of a puzzle game who's rules change every round and you have to slowly figure them out by trial and error.

Tiny Kettle WitchA really great game ! I love the block moving and placement sounds, they are very satisfying. I also love the inclusion of a color blind mode

Tiny AdventureReally cool, how did you even come up with that concept?? I loved it, kinda put me in a trance to be honest lol, just kept play more and more so that's a pretty big win in my book. Props for the accessibility options too! Great little game.
Check mine out too if you can.

Wild RacerThanks! I do play it myself even though I very well know how to win, I find it relaxing. As for the idea I was talking a walk with my brother and the idea popped into my head. He suggested that it was a doable game for me to make with little programing experience so I went with it. And thanks for the comments on the accessibility options, I know it is not always possible to add options in all games during a game jam, but I feel like it is a good thing to attempt and felt like I could definitely do something for my game.
