This is not the type of game one should start playing right before bedtime! You got me addicted!
There seems to be some issue with rainbow diamonds where sometimes they don't behave as expected, but apart from that, really nice game!
Could you please write more about this bug, I would try to fix it?
Although it states that rainbow diamonds can be used as any diamond color, this only works if the match is right to left. Going left to right, it's not working. In this example I selected yellow, then green, then the rainbow. I would expect to be able to fulfil the 4th contract, but it doesn't allow this.
Thanks for feedback, I will try to fix it.
A lot of good things happening in here. Took me a moment to get the gameplay figured out. But once I did, it was an interesting puzzle challenge.
Having the story and the cash progress to the next day is a great incentive to replay. I'll definitely be playing this more later. I wanna know what happens if you get the crown back! (But alas, I need to rate other jam games first.)
Thanks for your time and comprehensive comment.
Very cool game :) But for such games I need more than 60 seconds :-D I want to play it and not rush!
Thanks to the time limitation the game requires more optimization which in our opinion makes it more interesting.
Concept-wise I thought it was pretty cool, but it took quite a bit of trial and error to learn how to play. The game could really use a step-by-step tutorial at the start. For a jam game, the time required to actually win might be a bit much as well, but I think people who really enjoy this genre will peck at it longer than I did (I'm not a big puzzle person). I really liked the atmosphere of the game though - the graphics and sounds work really well. Keep it up!
If this game wasn't for the jam, then the first update we would introduce would be a step by step tutorial, but in jam period we don't have much time. At least the game is more rouge lite, because the player from each game learns the rules better XD
