Took me a second to figure out how to actually play (I started out just thinking I could switch any block around ) but once I got it I was totally into it :)"},{"author_name":"Ranmara","author_uid":"22529","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 12:29pm","epoch":1418127840,"text":"Really nice idea, I really wanted to complete this lol. Shame about the bugs, I think it's definitely worth trying to fix them :) I'm worried that quite often you could end up with an uncompletable setup but I'm not sure if that's a thing?"},{"author_name":"GSM Productions","author_uid":"16481","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 12:30pm","epoch":1418127900,"text":"Funny, even though the bugs make it really hard to play!

I'd recommend starting off with a smaller cube too just to break the player in gently.

Game itself needs a bit of polish and maybe better control. Using keys to move ball in 6 directions would be easier than clicking not always visible blocks.\rBut still, great idea that needs to be made into a full game."},{"author_name":"Ciaran Lyne","author_uid":"44975","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 4:53pm","epoch":1418230080,"text":"Best game I have played of this ludum dare!"},{"author_name":"2Bit","author_uid":"47684","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 4:36am","epoch":1418272260,"text":"Good game, a nice puzzle idea."},{"author_name":"lemmily","author_uid":"30548","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 11:51am","epoch":1418384760,"text":"thanks everyone for your kind words and helpful feedback!\r\r@Ranmara - you can definitely get stuck in corners at the moment if you manage to match it up *juuuust* right (I've done it) this version has no lose conditions, so you just get stuck!\r@iShadow - I really wanted to rotate the cube with the mouse and use keys for movement, but I couldn't get the mouse rotation playing nice - I think it would be easier to click things if you had more control on rotation, but it would definitely benefit from keys for sink and rise switch at least!"},{"author_name":"Kim Sj\u00f6berg","author_uid":"44790","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 3:00pm","epoch":1418396100,"text":"Yay!

There are some odd bugs, like some groups deciding not to remove themselves, and it's possible to end up in a position where you can't move. The falling to the centre would be good, and it would be nice to have some music. Could be good as a mobile game with some additional camera controls such as zooming, and some larger levels, perhaps interesting shapes."}],"images":["ld31\/30548-5893876731665a262cf7be8ef4d37dd6.jpg","ld31\/30548-b5c6d91bd6df0815042574f35b166ae6.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/becabe0df8d05bbbbd2ba14c967cf96a9fdebcfd.googledrive.com\/host\/0B4Ug92MgIU_rTE5lTXBhQ3Z1dmc\/Build.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Lemmily\/MatchCube","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"14620","g_author":"30548","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"14650","g_title":"Match Cube","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"448","g_commentcount":"25","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/30548-shot0.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/30548-shot1.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"My take on the match-3 thing, the aim is to get to the centre and switch with the greeny-blue cube residing there!\r\n\r\nMatches can only be made by switching with a cube.

The non matching and weird blocks staying behind bugs. One of them made me confused to how it could actually be working in the first place! Took about ten minutes after having a bit of time away.
