Did you make music yourself? Sounds great.

That was great! I really like how you blended the concepts, brilliant! Although the graphics were simple, they were really nice. The fireball really impressed me particularly. Bookmarked for another day :)

@lukz: I got the music here: http://www.fakemusicgenerator.com/ :D
@cinderous The fireball is actually quite simple! It's the first time I played with particle systems in Unity, and it took only a couple of minutes to create :)

Everything about this game is great. I would like to see a game like this on Steam.
Good Job!

The idea is interesting and the game is entertaining to play.
Just would like tiles' colors were a little more visible as I can't focus on them while I try to escape from the white blocks :(

I really enjoyed the idea. And the music is pretty cool!

This is a seriously awesome idea, I love it! But once you get the hang of it it's a bit too easy. Maybe the enemies could roam the rooms while you're out of sight? I want to try the multiplayer mode sometime, sounds fun :D

Awesome music!! Brilliant idea, i just can't play the online mode, it doesn't connect to any server, my friends can't do it either

As gquibao says, we tried to play online but it won't connect. :(
It creates the server and is able to find it, but it stops at "trying to connect".

Great use of match mechanic! I only wish the monsters would have some memory to follow the player around the corners, so that it would be easier to lead them in traps. :)

@gquibao @LegacyCrono Did you have any friend to play with? I just tested, and fired the game in two different browsers and could connect without problems.

Yeah, I tried playing with gquibao and another friend of me hahah :D
I did test opening it in two tabs and playing multiplayer, and that works fine, but we couldn't get it to work over the internet. =(

@Vinyl Pixels I'll have to play with the particle system some more!

I've uploaded a new version with a small change, that I hope will fix the problem. Hope it works this time!

Interesting concept. Really liked the music. Art was good but maybe too many particles imo.

Great job! Fun game. And even though it's not game critical, the 3D view is super amusing. :)

This is pretty neat! I like 3D mode better. I really like the persistence of the fireballs after shooting them. It was a nice touch. The little cooldown bar at the top of the character freaked me out slightly until I understood what it was. I thought it was an enemy because it looks very similar them. Maybe make it slightly different somehow?

Great job! Keep up the good work.

Good idea, not really my type of game though.
I found it hard to get used to the fact that the enemies do not get switched along with the tiles. I kept switching onto a tile with an enemy hoping the cleared tile would kill it, but I was the one who died instead.

Really great concept! You should definitely expand on it! Top marks for the idea

Cool mechanics mashup and simple but intriguing graphics style. Even though they are just blocks, the "monsters" are still scary :)

Very interesting idea and realization.
That you added a multi-player option is awesome!

Just great!

I liked it. The mix puzzle+deathmatch is a great combination :)

Very cool game ! Sadly I couldn't connect to a multiplayer game. And when I switch the third tile but there is an ennemy on the one I'm switching which, I die, which is understandable, but I would have prefered to be left unharmed since I completed the three tiles combinatio.

Really cool idea for a game, combining a tile-based puzzler with a deathmatch shooty game is genius. Graphics are simple but effective, and the music is neat as well. Nice job!

I like how you added a puzzle game on top of a maze game. Great idea.
