I liked it! My final score is 4061.\rNice graphics and sounds, also great music playing in the background, and it was "kind of" creative. :)\r\rI got confused of what should I do at the beginning, was it just to pick the highest, I think... but then I realized.\r\rBut anyways, a very great job!"},{"author_name":"nicso","author_uid":"8002","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 12:31pm","epoch":1472559960,"text":"18087 points.\rFirst play, i was not really sure if i had an influence on my score. But in fact you can develop some nice strategies.\r\rI like the fact that you got around the difficulty of counting adjacent tiles by making the player doing it ^^ smart trick\r\rNice entry ;)"},{"author_name":"Togimaro","author_uid":"55111","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 1:25pm","epoch":1472563200,"text":"266464 points, 12 hit combo :D\rI love the anticipation aspect!

Seems like I don't understand rules yet.\rDoesn't really matter, I like the feeling very well, SFX are not agressive, and music is rly quiet too, it totally fits the gameplay. Global implementation is smart, game is addictive... it is a real GG.\rBeau boulot !"},{"author_name":"Geared Games","author_uid":"45678","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 3:08pm","epoch":1472569380,"text":"I only got 812 points, I'm not really sure what I'm doing :P\r\rThe game looked really nice and worked like a charm!

I recognize the randomness can be a little bit punitive, but it was intended as it is part a "card" game (it was too simple without). With several tries, it's really possible to figure out how to reduce the random impact and make a good score :)"},{"author_name":"Sean","author_uid":"50235","time":"Sep 2, 2016 @ 7:42pm","epoch":1472845020,"text":"Deceptively challenging and interesting game; at first I was completely lost and thought it was too random, but I once I realized that there needs to be a flint next to a square in order to place other types it made a lot more sense and I did a lot better on my second playthrough.\r\rThe music is nice too!"},{"author_name":"SamuelSousa","author_uid":"112281","time":"Sep 6, 2016 @ 4:59pm","epoch":1473180840,"text":"Great entry! \r\rI found myself on the first play just clicking on the highest number.
