Thanks to this game I became somewhat decent at Match-4.

I ordinarily don't like traditional puzzle games much because a lot of them are just about high-scoring or doing the same thing over and over until the "last level". As such I naturally don't play puzzle games much and am not skilled at all with them. Invertio however shakes things up every time and eventually got me to complete it entirely.

Hey also, in Invertio if you give up in a level (by pressing Escape IIRC), the next time you enter it, the trigger conditions are all wierd and most often makes the stage unwinnable. At least you can close and reopen the game but that's annoying.

Otherwise, good job for converting me into puzzle games, even if for this time. I've featured this game in a video:

I am pleased to report that the trigger conditions bug you mention should be fixed; I found it as occurring if you retried the same level multiple times in a row, and the updated version on the game page shouldn't have it any more. It was sadly one of a few things that slipped through during the initial period; new version fixes a bunch of that stuff (did you know bombs were meant to have a tile next to them indicating which tile they blow up? I broke that last minute before submitting >_>), and does some minor rebalances/tweaks plus adding 10 more levels.

That said...the video was fantastic and seeing Invertio showcased like that was super satisfying. It's kinda hard to express the degree to which that's true, especially with what you said about match 4 games generally. I'm checking out the rest of the video now; honestly I was kinda wiped after the jam and didn't get much opportunity to actually look at the other games, and I'm a big fan of this "portrait + dialogue commentary" style of video (I don't know if you're familiar with a "MegamanOmega", but he uses a similar style and has done a couple videos on Danmakufu scripts I made a while back). Plus the editing/showcasing for each game is definitely on point. So yeah, just...thanks for doing this. Major feels good moment for me and I'm sure a lot of other people too.
