Hah! its a very good game!, didnt quite get that they destroyed on 3x3, thought i had to match 3 or that glitches should do something. Its kinda a lot to ask to choose 12 pieces maybe those could default and nobody would notice lol, while graphics don't seem like much they work (except that i didnt got the 3x3 at first) it could have some polish and then release as a standalone on mobile :D, really very good job

I love puzzle games and yours is no exception. I needed a few rounds to understand what each tile does and how to use them properly but then it was very enjoyable. The only thing I did not like that much is how dependent you are on randomness because there are positiont where it's quite hard to get out of.

Good job on your game!

I really liked this game. The music was very pleasant to hear while trying to destroy the glitches with your blocky friends. It was cute.

Amazing game, I love the music! My best score was 228.

Nice score, it is way easier the second time around to get a high score cause you know all the good pieces. 228 is very respectable, especially if it was your first attempt:D

Awesome game! It was fun and unique, and I loved the concept of creating 3 by 3 areas! The game can be unforgiving at times, if you ever decide to make this into a full project then maybe implement a way to get space back. Well done!

This was fun! It took me a while to understand but once I started to get the hang of it it was pretty cool. I think its biggest problem is readability; it was a little hard at times to see what was happening. I think I got to ~170? Great job!

Nice! Very unique game! :smiley_cat: I haven't played a game with this kind of concept before. You could definitely make a mobile game out of it. Good job. Oh yeah, my score was 186.

Wow, very impressive entry! I was able to get a score of 244, and had a ton of fun doing it. This game has very rewarding combos, and well thought out gameplay. The music was really nice to listen to and kept things cheery (Even when it seemed they were going to explode). I hope you make this a full game

A very solid entry! I've managed to get 196 in the first attempt. :P

The guitar music was a nice addition.

One of the most original games I've encountered in this jam. I managed to clear 251 blocks. Nice concept and music too. Some critisicm, if I may. A tutorial showing the mechanics for each piece would be very helpful, as at the beggining you start by choosing the pieces without any clues of how the differents powers may affect the game. Also, the theme fitting seems a little "forced" to me, as the objective is to battle the glitches.

Overall, nice entry, good job and kudos for the originality!

Lovely game! I LOVE the music! The text seems pretty low effort, but I guess you didn't have enough time? However, the tutorial is greatly appreciated :).

I like the idea, and the graphics are very cute!
The mechanics with the interaction of the different pieces are more complex than it seemed at first glance, I think there are a lot of strategies to discover :)
It is really fun to play, although I was a bit clueless at first about which pieces to choose.
I will probably try some more rounds of it tomorrow, I like that kind of puzzle game and the little ghosts are soo cute <3

Great puzzle game, simple but original. My record is level 9: 305 blocks, my trick in the block selection avoiding the blue block as possible and taking the ones with the biggest number of ghost, which is a super block. I really enjoyed it, congratulations on the music too.

@le-slo 305, thats the record, yeah the ghost are awesome. You can get super high scores by almost building 3by3 if there are not glitches there, did you do something like that :slight_smile:

Really interesting block mechanics, quite different from usual matching games. And that music man, really sets the mood right, that was so good! My favorite sountrack so far this LD. Did you play the it yourself?

Nice concept, well implemented. A tutorial that progressively introduces new types of blocks would help tremendously if you want to continue developping the game a bit!

Very nice concept, I love the tool tips showing the tutorial mid-game, that is very very nice. Im all for interactive tutorials! Well done

Loved this game! It felt like my decisions mattered. I enjoyed that I could take a step back, look at the board state, and figure out what I had to do. And when the board started disappearing, it made what was a a nice little playthrough into an intense game of wits. Fantastic music, too. Good job

Very cool game! Definitely a unique and interesting concept! I love that you can "draft" your own set of pieces, and I thought the music was a great fit!

I'd love to see this game made with some cleaner art and released on mobile. I think it has a ton of potential =) Great entry!
