I'm pretty sure I broke it: (edit) I didn't

Not removing matches definitely adds a new dynamic to the match 3 genre.

I like your art style and the game is pretty well executed. I just noticed the fish skeleton spells out FISH, so nice touch there.

I don't usually like match 3 games but I enjoyed playing this one. Thanks for making it.

By broken you mean that there is no move to clear a line?

Yes that is basically the game over. The issue is that it is difficult to test a game over state. It would require to test every possibilities which is really not straightforward. So for the jam I couldn't do it.

But that a good point that I should mention on the game page.

Oh. I didn't really understand what made the board clear, so I just assumed it happened when I ran out of moves. Thanks for explaining why that happened.
