How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
Tracks are looping.
In each track, gems will loop through a predetermined paths.
One of them won't behave the way the other gems of the same color do.
Your goal is to identify that outlier amongst its peers and mine it with your pickaxe.

Good luck!

Maybe I'm just stupid, but I for the life of me couldn't figure out this one.

It looks and sounds great. I assume the shapes are 'looping' through specific patterns of movement, but honestly I could not pick the patterns up at all (unless they change from level to level???) I was also confused on the color choices, are the red and light pink supposed to have the same movement sets or different? If different I really would have chosen a different color because it was really tough for me to tell those two colors apart while trying to keep track of everything happening on screen.

Over all I really did not get the feeling of 'loop' from this game, but it was very pleasing graphically and sonically.

Hey! Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it!

I’ll try to answer to your questions:

I could not pick the patterns up […] unless they change from level to level???

Every colors have specific patterns that doesn’t change between levels.

I was also confused on the color choices, are the red and light pink supposed to have the same movement sets or different?

They’re both different. I agree that it’s difficult to tell them apart, and we would surely had drawn different gem shapes with more time.

Over all I really did not get the feeling of ‘loop’ from this game

It’s loosely coming from the concept of musical loops. Each levels ((musical) tracks) loops until you find the outlier.

but it was very pleasing graphically and sonically.

Thank you! It is my first soundtrack and I really enjoyed making it! :)

I was confused and really bad at picking the correct gem, but this game looks and sounds so good that I still had fun.
