Very fun game and extremely satisfying getting a huge combo with all the effects. Couldn't get past lvl 10 though, the difficulty picked up a lot there.

Developer

yeah I’m gunna nerf 10 in an upcoming patch. Glad you had a good time!

Great game, I enjoyed it, reached level 11.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

that’s the farthest I can make it too definitely needs some balancing, thanks for playing glad you enjoyed it!

cool game, i really enjoyed making things go boom, you nailed the explosion effects. when multiple colors get added to the screen and theres a big chain explosion it looks awesome (plus the screen shake, SFX, etc etc). I think this would make a pretty fun little mobile game just about as is already. maybe adding a sandbox mode where you could just draw and explode stuff would be pretty neat too. i think you made a really well polished game with a good application of the theme. the only minor critique is that the gameplay loop is a bit too simple and gets a bit stale but it is a game jam so kind of an unfair criticism. great entry!!

The original version actually was conceived as an android game, that version was...flawed however and i no longer have an android. Glad you have fun it was always more about satisfaction than actual gameplay lol :)

amazing game I'll prob be coming back to this one to beat it

Developer

thanks, working on more updates as we speak, look forward to seeing how high you can score!!!

made it to level 10, but didn't quite beat it! Got 49 out of 50

nice work

Developer

thanks! Yeah theres a slight rebalance coming hopefully tomorrow or the day after! Thanks for playing!

I like the sound design. Great idea for this jam. Not sure I understood the counting mechanic but fun overall!

Developer

you mean the multiplier? you have half a second to get another explosion to keep it going otherwise it resets to 1X, thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Yes the multiplier. Thanks for the explanation!

Developer

no swear at all!

Excellent game, quite addictive and tons of fun, it's quite difficult but never felt impossible to beat a level. Great job!

Developer(+1)

yeah i do have a rebalance in the cards for a future update. if I told you there was 25 levels would you still say it never felt impossible? lol

Submitted(+1)

Nice game! Clicking and seeing how many you manage to catch in the explosion feels a bit random, due to how many things are bouncing around at once. I think you balanced it quite nicely though, the hearts system feels fair.

Developer(+1)

yeah i plan on adding in a few more mechanics in the coming days that should even it out more! thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

A nice game can be hard though. I love the leather board. very creative, I don't know the stars. also, there seems to be a bug here they just started bouncing in like a top-line form from left to right, with no vertical movement like straight lines.

Developer

yeah it uses the in built physics system and a physics material to literally just bounce. Aside from setting initial direction and force there is no code for bouncing at all so I’ll probably need to add something in

Funny but hard game. I've reached lvl 10, and can't go further haha

Developer(+1)

your definitely not alone there lmao

Submitted(+1)

Appreciate the heavy use of particle effects. It was easy until level 7 haha. Not sure what the winning strategy is. Here's my high score.


Developer(+1)

there are definitely a few choke points lol 7 and 10 are big struggles 25 total levels and idk if anyone will reach them all  XD
