I had to play two games to understand how the domino you have to match is determined. At first I thought it was random. I'd suggest you add a label somewhere explaining how that works, otherwise a perfectly good and playable game.

I quite like this. Nice and simple.

Same as errorage, After I worked out how it's matched it was pretty fun, I'd recommend putting some instructables in your submission description if you cant get it in your game.

Hey, I had 2 0 at the ends, and I used a 2-0 domino thinking I'll get 0 0, but I got 2 2.

Couldn't play it. I have Win XP (32 bit) and it says
"Pixel Dominoes.exe is not a valid Win32 program"

scheurneus - that's very strange! Maybe it's important to install latest .NET framework to make it working? :)

Nice !
This clearly shows that the basis of a good game is a good gameplay.

Was too large for my screen, so I couldn't see TAKE button and sometimes some of the dominoes.
Otherwise nice small game!

That was way more decent than I would have expected from a dominoes game!

Could have used a few simple instructions. Simple and straightforward game in the end.

It's a fun playable game. It kept me entertained for a while.

I too had a bit of trouble figuring out what determined the next domino, but I figured it out fairly quickly.

Overall, good job. My best score was 13

I like this. Played through it lots of times. Could use some sort of score counter, although not sure what it would count.

Everything fits the theme very well.

Great little puzzle game!

Although not entirely related to the game itself, I feel it's worth mentioning that if you're going to color the background of buttons, it may be worth setting the font color as well, because my default font color of white made it impossible to read what was on the buttons.

was surprised that a so simple game could be so fun

Nise simple concept. At first I hated a bit, because i thought it was complete luck to get the right domino to match my dominoes, until I notoced, that the top dominoe represented the endings of the (invisible) chain. It would be nice, if you could decide to which side to attach when there are multiple ways (When the domino at the top is the same, as the one, you want to place).

I'm on a Mac. Sorry :(

netmute By the way, this game was made on Mac with Windows in WMWare :)

Woo, didn't play domino since quite some decades :D Nice AND worked well via wine on linux!
Spelchan6 May 2013, 15:57
Once I figured out what I was suppose to do and how to win the game was simple and fun. Should have spent a few more hours creating an instruction screen or tutorial.

A short info about the rules would be nice, but I managed to figure it out easily enough. Overall a well done entry.

5 for theme, but nothing much else, except it was interesting to read the Dev Diary. While source code itself isn't exactly a good example of how to code, it's completely easy to understand.

Nice and simple :)

I guess the double-dominoes you just get to remove for free? That part confused me a bit, it was a little weird to be just thrown in and have to figure things out, but then that is more minimalist. It's nice to something so simple and compact though. Great entry!
