Ensure the growth of the corals by connecting the matching tiles. If the condition of your reef is good, fishes will make it their home. Make sure to keep it alive, or they may disappear.
I was about to write a comment and noticed @verttixpertti said exactly what I was going to say. After a short while I figured out that there was no point in trying to strategize moves and I actually wanted to just be matching things as fast as I could. While that is not an invalid playstyle, match 3 games tend to benefit from allowing the player time to try to set up really long color runs. That said, this was a neat little game, and kept me playing awhile while I tried to build my reef up enough to attract some fishes! Cool concept :D
@itskdog Thanks for playing! The different corals have a condition score that sinks automatically and can be raised by swiping tiles of the matching color. If the average score is above a certain value, fishes will appear. :slight_smile:
Nice and relaxing game. It would be cool if there was something to track numbers such as biggest combo or number of each colour. I really like the art though and it feels peaceful to watch the image grow as I progressed. Cool entry overall :)
I'm not sure if puzzle games your your "jam" (tee-hee), but I really enjoyed this entry. I played for a little while. I'm guessing there's no "end state"?
It could use a number of improvements, like sound, a few more "events" or something that drives gameplay forward, but I like the fresh take on the traditional "match 3" games.
It could use some kind of "score" to keep track of your reef. Perhaps even track what the healthiest state was, to give the player an incentive to keep making their reef better and better. That said, This was very fun, and the art work is stellar.
The matching is really fun, but i didn't really get how to improve the conditions to get fish. Some kind of indication what needs to be done would be great, and also some bleeps as sound effects. The game is great, only needs some more polish. Congrats!

The scene developing while I played was really well done. Great work.
