Breaking Even by NuggetMcHotdog

[raw]
made by NuggetMcHotdog for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

Think fast! The board is filled with unstable odd numbers and you must make them even before they explode!

My submission to the LD49 gamejam, based off the theme "Unstable".

I really loved this. Super simple but super addicting. The sound and music really help you almost get immersed into it. I had to basically force myself to stop. Great job!

Simple game, but it's really fun. Kind of reminds me of 2048 a bit

Simple Game but fun and stressing. On my final run I got to level 7. Is it procedurally generated? Does it have an end?

Thanks @westmave! Yes, it’s procedurally generated, and the levels get harder over time.

Cool idea for a game. Kind of reminded me of a mix of Flappy Bird (play until you lose) and 2048. The sounds and music were nice and the game was really "juicy". I especially liked the effect when you clear a stage. Good job!

very very fun and intoxicating game loop with a central idea that's easy to understand but hard to master (and it's incredibly satisfying when you manage to do so). also loved the visuals, very sleek and stylish.

i think the only thing i was really left wanting were more, crazier mechanics that get introduced once you're past a certain level (like special tiles with unique effects). it really feels like this is a kind of game that would support stuff like that without straying too far from its core idea.

also, a technical issue i had was that audio was seemingly panned to the left channel entirely (and i did check with other audio to make sure it wasn't just caused by my headphones)

You've made a very great game here and although it looks simple it's addictive. :thumbsup:
It's a shame you didn't play, rate and comment on more games.

You would have definitely received a good ranking.
