Jump, Push, Match by ElGregos

[raw]
made by ElGregos for LD 41 (JAM)

matchemup_000.png

Here we go for a mix of match-4 (think Puyo Puyo) and platformer.

Just use left & right keys to move, up to jump, and C to push tiles.

Press Enter for some help: - Stuck on current level? Choose "Restart level"! - Oh, you meant "Stuck" like "This level is too difficult"? Choose "Next level"! - Want more levels, graphics, visual effects, music? Sorry folks, that all I could do in 3 days! But who can be sure there won't be any post-jam version? Nobody. Not even me.

This game plays really well and the puzzles are interesting. I might have at some point accidentally held down X and skipped right to "Well done!" ;)

Well, that was in my "Things to remove before submiting game" list, and of course I forgot this one 😅. It's now corrected on the playable game, thanks @dixonary!

Nice job on this one, love the puzzles and the game feels well polished.

BTW I like how you changed the html export to have that shadow :P

Congrats on the entry!

Thanks @rombus! The HTML template is made by ultrabrite, you can take it here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=31000. Btw I wonder how did you add that "Remap" button on yours ;).

Oh awesome! Thanks, I'll check it out!
haha that's a really cool feature I got from here: https://github.com/codl/pico-nfig
On my game "Monster love" I even changed the default config to be wasd instead of arrow keys (on the html export) using that lib

Wow

Really good game !
I'm too lazy (and not enough patient) to finish the game, but it is great !

Great ideas and very challenging puzzles. I'm grateful for the "Next level" option.

Thanks @differentname! I hope more games used that option. If you can't finish a level, there are no reasons it should prevent the player to try the next ones.

**It's really great puzzle game.**

SFX & Puzzle are great.

I really need think before move.

Thanks @flatgub! I wish I had time to add more levels though. But chances are high there will be a post-jame version!

Awesome, haven't played a puzzle game in a while and this one is really nice. I was going to complain about having to go through all the levels again when I got stuck on one and had to reset, but then I read the comments and found out there's a menu with "Reset Level" and "Next level" :( :D (the menu doesn't appear when you click the pause button in non-fullscreen mode). Anyway, great work!

Some of these puzzles are really tough, but as a result very satisfying when you figure them out! I did also skip a few though, because I am dumb. I really love the cute character animation and melodic footstep sounds. Great game overall!

So far perhaps one of the hardest things I have found among the entries. It would be great if the would build up on the difficulty, or perhaps I just suck :-D Or perhaps it is intended, and in that case, everything is ok. Really like the art style with minimalistic sounds. Great job!

@paulo-brunassi @jin9310 Thanks for enjoying the game! Levels 5 to 8 are a bit hard indeed, it quickly jumps as I only had time for 10 levels, but there will be 32 in the post-jam version. Glad I added that "Next level" option though ;)
