Nice simple game. Agree with Beebster, vertical would be nice. Good job.
The game is very solid. If it were me I would make it so you could connect vertically as well, or connect 5 different colors as well.
Thats just me
nice game.
This was fun. I thought the horizontal line had to be straight, but luckily it wasn't so. Great sounds. Good graphic style in my opinion. The effect of different elements on each other seems to work as intended, which adds interesting options.
Good job on your game! Simple, but well executed idea. One addition that would have made the game more fun for me is a preview of the next element. Cheers!
Pretty fun game, I liked it! It took me a couple attempts to figure out how to make the lines across.
All the interactions between the elements was too much for me to keep track of. I was just trying to make connections and hoping for the best! 😄
If you keep working on this one, maybe you could have it speed up as the game progresses, for an extra challenge!
nice tetris clone, good job!
I really like the idea. However, the game seems to be bugged for me: I don't get any points, and the described combos don't work. Tried reloading the page and restarting, but nothing changed. Based on the other comments, I seem to be the first to have this problem?
mm, strategic + Tetris - very interesting game.
Tetris was already a hard enough game. To be honest, it was a bit difficult for me to keep the rules in mind, but I eventually got the hang of it. Thanks for sharing.
neat little challenge game. good job!
I liked it! great job!
Seems like only a complete horizontal line works, which makes the game incredibly difficult.
Thanks for playing! You should be able to create lines with diagonal connections as long as both ends of the line touch the left and right walls. Do you know what color you tried creating a diagonal with?
Ah, not sure I was ever able to create a diagonal.
I think you need to add some details to the itch page (like the gem -> color association), because I managed to get 280 points, but… I don’t know what “exploded”. =S
From what I read, the combination should be “blue - gray - green - red - yellow,” right?
Hey, thanks for playing and for the feedback! I updated the itch page with all of the rules and associations. I had planned on adding a tutorial page with all of that information, but ran out of time...
Yeah, those are the different gems. Blue = Water, Light Blue/Gray = Ice, Green = Plant, Red = Fire, Yellow = Lightning. All of the interactions are now in the description, so hopefully it makes a little more sense!
Fun little challenge when I figured out that they didnt have to be a straight line from left to right!
Oh I didn't realise you can connect diagonally, I'll have to try again.
I like these sort of challenges, your thumbnail drew me right to it.
Nice job.
After 2nd play: perhaps have an easy mode that allows just 4 in a row and/or vertical as well as horizontal lines.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! I updated the description with more details on the rules, hopefully it will make more sense to people who haven't spent the last week playing it.
I like the idea of adding more modes! I built the grid and the rules that trigger gems to be pretty flexible, so I'll have to experiment with some configurations.
Surprisingly difficult! Being able to connect on the diagonal makes it really interesting. My highest score was 340... it was going well until it wasn't.
Some feedback would be that I wasn't/am not sure what the unique effects of the connections are and maybe it could use some more visual feedback/juice for when you get a connection.
Otherwise really great jam game, very addicting.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! I planned on adding VFX and animations for the connections, but ran out of time...
a mix of 4-in-a-row and tetris - nicely done!
