This game seems too good to be from a game jam! Good Job!

Wow, I really liked this. The graphics, sound, and game play really worked together to make a relaxing mood. Excellently done.

Feels like I'm plucking a cosmic guitar.

Beautiful game, very well done. Agree with LexGear that it feels very polished for a jam game.

Good job!

Seems like an interesting idea for mobile, pretty fun and hard

Great visual style. Very solid, and way more addicting than I though it was going to end up being. Very good game! I hope you keep going with it after the jam!

Super well done game. The audio is so perfect with the music and sound effects really adding to the game. This makes a super solid mobile game and I think it could do really well in the mobile market. Awesome work.

Cool game. Mobile version would be nice.

Beautiful game, very pretty with nice audio and very clean and tidy gameplay.
Get this on to the App Store asap. ;)
Javabot10 Dec 2014, 05:16
This is a gorgeous game that SHOULD BE made into an app at once!
Team Flashlight10 Dec 2014, 05:17
Although not a fresh idea, the game has a splendid art style and the music just fit so well, good job! Looking forward to see developed mechanisms (special blocks, etc) so that the game won't be a bit boring after long time of play.

Where'd the last half hour go?! I ended up with 5524 points. Very addictive and fun!

This game is dripping with polish and is very well executed. I remember seeing a WIP post on the front page and was really excited to play it- glad it popped up in my queue. I really like the sweeps mechanic.
WatercressStudios10 Dec 2014, 06:19
I liked the guitar strumming sounds. A charming entry.

Very sleek and fun! Could see myself playing this for hours on mobile!
ArcturusDeluxe11 Dec 2014, 00:34
This is really cool. Love the presentation. The guitar plucking sounds when you drag over the tiles are awesome, they make swiping them more fun than it has any right to be. Would make for quite a good mobile game I think.

Milktoast11 Dec 2014, 00:35
This would be a perfect mobile game! I seemed to always get the middle taken care of, but left the sides to tower skyward with no hope of tearing them down. The guitar strumming sound was inspired. Addicting gameplay. Well done!
Gread7211 Dec 2014, 03:00
Yeah This is well done... love the guitar sounds ... very cool

I am super impressed, this is such a fun sit back and play type of game, it feels really polished and satisfying and I really can't find a single thing I dislike about it. 5 stars all around, I may have to keep this in my downloads folder!

This was a wonderful find. A mix of tetris/bejeweled with the perfect soothing music. And it's a perfect mobile game as well. I hope you guys publish this before someone else does! Great job

Wow, this is great! Are you sure you made it in only a couple days?
Pat Kemp11 Dec 2014, 04:53
Great audio and mood. Clever mechanic with the "Sweep" buttons. Very polished, although I had trouble starting a standard match a couple times (got stuck in the help). Ended up having to start a challenge mode and click the "try standard" button when I died. Great job!
Justin Mullin11 Dec 2014, 05:21
Nothing new on the gameplay side, but this is incredibly polished and nice. Well done! Am I hearing rubber bands?
eonarheim11 Dec 2014, 05:23
@JustinMullin Actually we recorded all of the sound effects and music off of an acoustic guitar believe it or not :)

Great! Just had a "sweep all", sadly I'll have to stop for now, but I'll definitely come back :)

Highly polished and relaxing puzzle game. Highlighting same-color blocks once you have one selected is a brilliant feature. The difficulty could ramp up a bit faster in Standard Mode, though Challenge certainly does provide a good challenge. Great work!

Really nice audio work there! I played this a lot longer than I should have because of that. Really good work. Thanks!

Really solid entry! Nice graphics, totally working puzzle mechanism, beautiful music! Well done, I've really enjoyed playing this game, especially the challenge mode :-)

Very polished, challenging and well-designed puzzler game. The graphic design is wonderfully clean and well thought out, and conveys all the information the player could need. The music is very nice, but gets a little tiring after a while. Great job overall everyone, keep it up! :)

Thalia13 Dec 2014, 03:09
Guitar sounds here very cool! But this gameplay is ordinary. What for innovation do you offer? It's usual 3-match.( Very good done of course, but ordinary.

Wanted to try your game but I'm color blind and I can't see any difference between those two colors : http://imgur.com/KE8MOcn
Seems cool though :'(

Reminds me a bit the trending "Two Dots" mobile game, but with a quite different game mechanism.
Graphics and Audio is very polished, congrats.
Xanjos18 Dec 2014, 23:46
Pretty fun twist on the match tiles puzzle genre and great take on the theme. I actually found standard mode to be more harder than challenge.
Canyon19 Dec 2014, 04:45
I loved this!
ilokimo21 Dec 2014, 04:56
Really love the game design mastery, simple but well though, especially with the challenge mode.

Fine, elegant, clever, relaxing yet challenging, classic yet innovative : Well done !

Really cool concept (Especially the swipe mechanic which add a lot to the genre).

I think the block repartition could use some work : right know I think it is totally random, and some playthourgh are just doomed from the start
eskivor24 Dec 2014, 01:28
Great music !
kirbytails724 Dec 2014, 02:48
Very nice. The diagonal matching really adds to the mechanic, and the style is very clean.
Johnro24 Dec 2014, 06:33
Across the board fun! Once I got into it, I got into this great groove.

The difficulty could increase in one way or another...

Cool an polished game, guitar sound give a special mood.
Fast repeating background music disturb the feel.

Well made!

Great amount of polish. Simple concept but fun. Make an app out of it :)
gana024 Dec 2014, 14:26
An excellent puzzle game. I really liked standard mode. Challenge mode seemed a little too hectic for me though, but that idea was good as well. The music was nice and calming, but I got bored of it after playing for so long. The guitar sound effects were a cool touch and fit well with the background music. It would have been a good touch in my opinion to add something like "nice!" or "great!" if you made a really good combo and got rid of a lot of blocks like a lot of puzzle games do. It would keep interest levels up. Overall, an interesting concept and great execution!
DDRKirby(ISQ)24 Dec 2014, 21:03
Pretty cool and well done! Simple concept, nice execution for a game jam.
Grindstorm24 Dec 2014, 23:33
Love the guitar sounds :) nice game

ETHproductions25 Dec 2014, 03:00
Very clean for a 3-day game! The mechanics are very smart and well-made, and the graphic style is awesome.
Ossi25 Dec 2014, 08:38
Very cool game! Feels really good to break the tiles and the guitar plucking is really satisfying! Great job!

Nice puzzle game, and Standard Mode is a take on match-3 I haven't seen before. Having two modes makes it interesting too.
LMT26 Dec 2014, 16:04
Nice simple polished game. I really like the fluidity of the mechanic.
Cake&Code26 Dec 2014, 20:55
Wow, that was really awesome. It's such a simple idea too but so well executed! Love that it was hard to keep the stacks from growing too big even when you have all the time in the world to think about your moves. Very good puzzle game :D

Cool game, love the art style and music. I like how the connecting sound is musical and makes a little melody :D
jsspiegel27 Dec 2014, 16:39
Fantastic game. Manages to be both chill and relaxed and challenging and stressful at the same time. Extremely polished for 48 hours, all around amazing.

This could probably be a successful mobile title. The gameplay is simple but addictive, graphics are nice and the guitar gives it a unique touch. Definitley one of the better entries of the >90 I've played.
Very good game. As they should be: simple and entertaining. I never get tired of playing. To take one but the music becomes monotonous.
