Hurry Fruits by Marin0104

[raw]
made by Marin0104 for LD 42 (JAM)

Idea

This is "Hurry Fruits". The idea is to implement something like the well known “Candy Crush” with a twist: The space for the fruits is shrinking! The side of which the space is shrinking is random :sweat_smile: Goal is to collect as much fruits as possible until there is no space for fruits left. Hope you enjoy the track i've chosen for this one. Credits to DJ Quads (https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quads)!

How To Play:

Just drag and drop a fruit to the next fruit. The fruit will only swap the place with another fruit, if at least three fruits in a row are matching.

LINK TO GAME

* For whatever reason does the WEBGL version have a critical bug: the board does not shrink. I am working on this in the next days... The exe works fine!* Best resolution to play: 1080p.

Hey, i think you should also add a ling to the game to "Downloads and Links" section, it's empty now.
Great sound and graphics, btw! Game play is your usual 3 in a row :D

Interesting idea! I know you didn't make the graphics/sound but you chose and paired them up well (that music is funky!). Good use of the theme and a fun twist on this type of game. I experienced a bug on my first playthrough that I couldn't replicate. While the board was full size I dragged a fruit and it dropped to the bottom left spot and stacked on top of a fruit down there. Besides that everything else was smooth. Nice submission!

Congratulations on completing a game! I think it would really benefit from some kind of animation marking the triplet that disappears. Also would be nice if the triplets disappearing happened a bit faster.

Disappointed you aren't entering in to the sound category. The music is amazing. The gameplay could use some refinement as the rows have no indication before they disappear and fruits fall after a match but just pop in from the top. Fun game for sure
