I had trouble telling them apart, especially with how subtle the colors on the envelope sprites are. Also, I see the missiles in your screenshot, but I couldn't figure out how to fire them. I only ever got letters, and it took me a while to figure out how to throw them. It's a funny concept, though, and I like the gauge used to indicate score.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":938122,"author_name":"droqen","author_uid":"droqen","epoch":1682964715,"text":"i don't think i fully understand how all the systems are intended to combine but i'm interested in all the stuff going on in here! the drag and fling gameplay is fun (if finnicky\/unpolished), and so is the difficult colour matching.\n\nsome kind of political idea is at work behind the scenes, tho the specifics i'm really unclear on... maybe i missed something in the news.

Clear as many as possible. Use missiles to clear clumps. Don't let the envelopes you need get buried when you need them!\nI found drag-and-flick to be very finicky with my mouse; maybe this would work better if I were playing it on a mobile touchscreen, and if the envelopes were a little bigger.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":961135,"author_name":"Alyssa Sanden","author_uid":"alyssa-sanden","epoch":1683166988,"text":"This game is clever and cute, the mechanics are fun, and I can't imagine the effort put into physics.
