This time I decided to make a logic game and ended up in building variation of the match-3 game. To keep it entertaining I made rotation logic.
\nWanted (but did not made) to make a health concept for the stones (pieces) as wall, so those will get damaged and removed after new stones fall on those. However, due to limited time ended up in endless puzzle game :D
\nUse mouse to interact with the board. Try to match 3 similar tiles in a row to collapse those. Tiles can be moved to adjacent positions (only if there is a match).

\nPerhaps would work better on mobile than desktop? But worked ok nonetheless.
\nThe music was well done but came out a bit loud at first.
\nThe rotation was a nice touch
\nWas there a goal in the game? I played for ages, but there was no score or timelimit that I could see (reading the notes again I can see that it’s endless - which is fine)

And the rotation of the playfield was a fun extra, though I wish it had more impact or was triggered in a more explosive and user-controlled way. The music had one channel or instrument that plays an out of tune sour note, and was clearly intended to be a drum hit or atonal fx sample, so it hurt my ears a bit because it was, to my ears, a glaringly obvious music importing error or glitch in zzfxm… but don’t get me wrong, this is mega subtle and I bet nobody else noticed! Who am I to say one note is wrong? Maybe I am the one who is wrong. lol besides, it was someone else’s song anyways, we’d have to ask them. Back to the gameplay itself, it flows very nicely and is very controllable. I really liked it. You could keep polishing this one and add particles and combos and bombs etc! Keep up the awesome work.

That said, if you do work on this again, introducing a new tile, having a score that’s visible (with leaderboard) and maybe some indicator of when the flip is going to happen would make this amazing. Great work.

\nNice visuals and great sound design with the music and sound effects!
\nToo bad there is no win / lose condition in this version or scoring. There could be also some random wildcard tiles that match 3 games would have sometimes that give you some advantages.
\nGood job overall!
