This is a very simple html5 puzzle game I've made for my second LD.

Movement of the cursor is done by the cursor keys, pressing Control + direction will shift a row/column of symbols.

You score points when you make rows or columns of 8 of the same symbols, and those symbols will change.

There is a limit in number of shifts. You get extra shifts whenever you complete a line, but you get less extra shifts as you progress. The game ends when you run out of shifts.

The Timer has no influence on the gameplay.

R will restart the game.

There was supposed to be autotracker music for the game, but I've decided against it after testing it myself.

Comments are always appreciated.

EDIT: Postjam version released, with a longer keyboard delay, and a level difficulty display.

Also added the Source link.

EDIT 2: Fixed a "game-breaking bug" that some people experienced when using ctrl + cursor keys in the embedded version.
