It would be nice if you could hover over a group of blocks to see how many are there. Often what I thought was the biggest group actually wasn't, which gave the game a bit of a trial-and-error feel."},{"author_name":"dcampos","author_uid":"29188","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 6:03pm","epoch":1387303080,"text":"Thanks for your comments, people!

But this (and the lack of other informative HUD elements) is the only mistake I could notice.\r\rAlso, I can see some potential in the aspect of expanding this game outside Ludum Dare. The concept is brilliant and has a lot of potential in the aspect of creating harder levels."},{"author_name":"joe40001","author_uid":"22192","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 8:41am","epoch":1387442160,"text":"Well made little game, what did you code it in?"},{"author_name":"SaintHeiser","author_uid":"14848","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 8:58am","epoch":1387443180,"text":"Can't understand what the rules but it was fun to play!

I know it's a bit random\/try and error by now, but I'm really working on improving it for a post-compo version. The player will have some hints as the biggest possible matching group, number of blocks in current group, etc. My goal is making the player think a little more. Check back soon!\r\r@joe40001: I coded it in Java with LibGDX."},{"author_name":"anvoz","author_uid":"30146","time":"Jan 7, 2014 @ 1:33am","epoch":1389058080,"text":"Cool concept. Really fun to play, nice and simple. That was a great use of the theme. I think all puzzles you created were good and clever, I really enjoyed all of them.\r\rIt would be better if the game displayed a message to tell that you win or lose after clicked :)"}],"images":["ld28\/29188-58328b60c120f5e1efac37da8cd5ffb3.jpg","ld28\/29188-22bafa86857a0c21888223d8546a111f.jpg","ld28\/29188-f193093066212789ecd4ab8807ca8d12.jpg","ld28\/29188-e2eb00f83183a29895a8d7983f6a8ac9.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/413033\/ld28\/TheRightBlock.jar","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/413033\/ld28\/TheRightBlock.jar","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/413033\/ld28\/TheRightBlock.jar","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/413033\/ld28\/index.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/413033\/ld28\/ld28-src.tar.gz","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"21291","g_author":"29188","g_event":"LD28","g_eventkey":"20","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"21320","g_title":"The Right Block","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"444","g_commentcount":"16","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\/\/308734\/29188-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/29188-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/29188-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/29188-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This is my entry for the Ludum Dare 28.
