Really cool take on the bejeweled type game. I like the restriction on where you can click, it really made me think!

Wanted some more content when I started this game. You can't really do much with the limited options available. Need something to give it some more clear depth. Only having a single very difficult to predict mechanic control the entire game is not enough. Especially if you are going for something like a match 3 game.

Score 2896 in 56 moves. Really fun game, great twist on the typical kind of genre.

The only thing I could possibly suggest as an improvement (which I'm sure you've considered) is an animation for when you got rid of the blocks - it was a little confusing at first to see why things disappeared and what should appear at the top.

Good stuff!

Some simple effects, like shrinking the blocks when they die and floating upwards, would have been amazing. Nevertheless, good job.

I could've worked upon the animations, but I lacked the time (I only did this around ~6 hours, and I didn't have the time to study about threads in lua)

I really liked the puzzle, played it for a good while, so here is a bug from me :

When you use mouse scroll it adds moves to the move counter.

Some powerups would spice it a little.. but good job anyway :)
