It's just a web page.
Confirmed to run in Chrome, probably FF also.
NO guarantee for IE. That shit sucks.

Very minimalistic. Would have been great with a bit of sound.

Pretty fun. I think you should have played to the fact that one match would cascade them all more.

@Suese - Totally Agree. Totally a lack of time management on my part. Just put on some dubstep in soundcloud instead :)

@Scott - All of the 8 levels can be completed in a single cascade :) The max score of the 8 levels made during the compo is 24. I *am* working on more levels, i'll post a link (separate from the compo link) with additional levels, at some future point.

Oh, one level requires two-moves to start the cascade, but finishes completes on the cascade generate from that.

Also thank you both for the wonderful constructive feedback!

For future adventurers, you can both NORMAL and RIGHT-click squares. They will perform OPPOSITE movements. :)
meat_popsicleauthor29 Apr 2013, 06:39
You might NEED to RIGHT-CLICK instead of NORMAL-CLICK to complete a level in a SINGLE move for GOLD (MAX of 3 points). :) :) :) :D

since you didn't provide any instructions I was a bit clueless at first, but after the first level "solved" itself I was amazed. sadly I seem to be to tired for this kind of game right now (I'll check back!) but the satisfaction from seeing a level getting solved is amazing

Feels very polished, this is a fun little puzzle game :)

Works in FF. I didn't get the mechanics though, so couldn't complete later levels.

This is really interesting and fits the theme quite nicely!

Nice little puzzle game.

Good puzzle game, it's cool when the chain reactions happen

Very well thought game, for me this is one of the most difficult things, to create good puzzles, nice!.
Hamumu30 Apr 2013, 18:06
Very minimalistic! I will confess to not liking these sorts of puzzles very much, and yet I clicked on your game over the one that came before it in my list just because of the screenshot, so maybe I do. But I don't. They make me mad.

Nice game. With a bit of work on graphics and some audio i could see this working well on ios/android.
SmilingCat30 Apr 2013, 18:09
I liked the concept, though I couldn't quite figure out what would cause the blocks to slide closer together after a match.
Axelhein30 Apr 2013, 18:09
Very good! Could have used some instructions, but once i figured it out it was super fun! Very satisfying to trigger chain reactions with a single click. Super clever level design.

Can you explain the physics behind why and when cascades happen? The animation usually happens too quickly for me, so I haven't been able to figure it out.

also, the two numbers at the bottom left -- what do they represent?
lotusgame1 May 2013, 15:26
Good concept. Would need more levels, and some sounds. Good job !
Docteur1 May 2013, 22:17
Really innovative, gratz!

Very nice, very simple. In 3 tries I managed to max out at 23 points (apparently I did something wrong on the last level and missed a point, oh well). Nice game, I look forward to the future levels.

@BrainSlugs - The numbers at the bottom are Level : Score

The general concept behind the cascading is this:
- When you match up two squares' yellow dots, the row or column those dots make will slide in toward the central point of the dots.
- Sliding by 1 square.
nimblegorilla10 May 2013, 23:58
Neat idea. I like the simplicity. Is there a way to restart a level if you get stuck?
euwaku11 May 2013, 05:31
A little bit confusing at first, it turns out to be a pretty nice puzzle game. Maybe some work on sound and design would have been great!

Nice little puzzle game. I like the rotating-pieces-puzzle-game-genre, and I like this entry. Congrats!
