Thank you so much for trying my game! and for the well thought out comment!

You don't know how happy it makes me to see this old game of mine get played! I made it when i was just starting out as a developer (I think it was my third game ever!) and i felt really good about the end result, it was pretty fun and challenging, but unfortunately no one played it after i released it, which made me feel like i just wasted my time putting all of this effort into it, but thanks to you and a couple more people that stumbled into it, i don't feel that way anymore!

Like you said the game is far from perfect, but I still think of it fondly when I look back, and i'm glad you found it enjoyable!

So once again, thank you!

Even without players, you still learn out of it. ;) But I understand it feels better to have someone play the game and appreciate the details, as a game lives through its players to some extent — although I tend to think the creator is the first player, so, the game will live through you anyway. :)

By the way, I did not test Hivemind (although I may! I have several games from several game jams I wish to play… ALL, in fact XD), but watching the animated screen captures, I think the concept reminds me partially of Sleepy Blocks (which I did not play either…). (Checking: it turns out this one has colour too, but uses it differently, apparently!) So, I may come by at some point. :)

It is similar, but I put a different twist on it, mainly the fact that they Always move together, and the fact that it used a hexagonal grid instead of a square one, which actually made a really interesting mechanic! and I had a couple of puzzles there that we really cool!

Its not too long, so it wont really take long (about 20 levels if you include tutorials and ending levels)I've got a lot of reviews there so don't feel obligated to try it out, but if you want its just as free as all of my other games! :)

All right, but it is on my list. ;) I may prioritise lesser known games and possibly make other people happy too. :) I have a list from Brackeys 2022.2 and other game jams… The amount is massive and deafening. X) By the way, I have noticed for some time now that the special page for entries with the fewest votes is still accessible after the game jam has ended through its direct URL, although there does not seem to be a link! ._. For example and to give the string pattern, here is the one for Brackeys 2022.2:

Godspeed! (Oh, by the way, I love the Q*bert style of the thumbnail for M.C and I also love M. C. Escher’s drawings, so I also wrote this one down. ;) And also Genesis because I sense yet another interesting twist on Snake. Oh, and I forgot to advise you to simply correct some taglines — except if you want to keep them this way for record purposes, which I would totally understand :) —: here, ‘to late’ -> ‘too late’, for Alien Infection, ‘Platfroming’ -> ‘Platforming’, for Devil's Game., ‘Agains’ -> ‘Against’, and for Genesis, ‘fliped’ -> ‘flipped’. I am somewhat obsessive, sorry for this! XD)
