Reviews for "A Puzzling Combination"

such a challenging game !! As a game developer i'm really enjoying your game !!! :))

good game

A very nice game! Aesthetics are on point, Sounds are too, very pleasing to play. A simple and short game, A little bit harsh with the whole "One mess up and your dead" thing, but eh. That's challenge, and it's really not that hard.

A separate subject I'd want to talk about is combining genres.

You claim this is a combination of a reflex and a puzzle game, but it's really just a reflex game with a puzzle piece aesthetic.

I don't mean to be harsh, but there's no real "puzzle" part to this. Don't get me wrong, you still have something nice here, just not something I'd view as relevant to the contest.

Hey :) ! Thanks again for the great feedback ! True enough, the game does not combine puzzle and reflex from a gameplay perspective BUT from a story point of view !
No where did the theme of the game jam state that you had to combine 2 incompatible genres only from the gameplay side of things :) !
Hope you understand my vision a little better now and see how this creation fits in with the theme :) ! Cheers !

Interesting game with nice graphics

The mechanics could be okay for LD compo and it seems like something bigger could be made out of this game mechanics.

As usual, I adore your graphics. Truly. I got up to 55 before I spazzed out! Humorous characters and theme, but not much else going on.
