Fibonacci Grid by Andrew Adams

[raw]
made by Andrew Adams for LD31 (COMPO)
Test your skills in this simple (and fun) math puzzle game.
Click the tiles and expand the grid to reach the goal value.

How it works...
1. You click the tile
2. The tile expands
3. Tiles are totaled using the value of their neighbors
4. You reach the goal and win
-- OR --
4. You run out of moves and cry.

FEEDBACK STRONGLY REQUESTED!!
Thanks for playing

It seemed kinda easy until it began to really force me to think. Really like it.

Interesting! Nice sounds and graphics.
Too tired to win the game though. Haha :)

Good game. I had a programming teacher that was obsessed with the Fibonacci sequence, so for better or worse I think of him every time I see the word.

Took me a while to figure out how the numbers were actually coming out though, like which tiles were used in the calculation.

If you want to continue to polish this, maybe offering a tutorial round that shows you how numbers are calculated would make this great.
I was thinking maybe just by hovering over a tile, it would show you what tiles would be placed when you clicked.

This seems like it'd be great on mobile, not sure how the hover tutorial would work on mobile, but I'm sure you got it! :)

Very cool game with a great concept. However, took a long time to understand the game mechanics. A tutorial/directions would have been much appreciated. Aside from that, I button to restart the entire game would also be nice.

The Fibonaci sequence is my favorite sequence!

Absorbing game. It took a little while to figure out how the numbers were generated, but once I realised it was fun. I'm shockingly bad at it though - plan to try again tomorrow when I'm more awake, which has to be a good sign!

It took me a long time to realize that I was supposed to get EXACTLY the number specified instead of just going over. Specifying that might be a good idea, though I might just be an idiot ;-)

Pretty neat game; I liked it once I figured out how the mechanic worked (took me a couple minutes to understand)

Fun concept, I can see this as a mobile game, easily.
I did have an issue where the GUI overlapped the times (I know, Unity GUI issue) but it would be nice to drag and move around to see the expanding lines go past edges or under things

Thank you all for your feedback. I understand that the game mechanic might be hard to catch onto at first. Due to the typo/bug clause I have to leave the original submission in place, however I will add a post-compo version with a tutorial as soon as it is aloud. Thanks again to everyone for playing!

@Lynx just click and hold empty space... The game has dragging built in, guess I'll add that to the tutorial too. Hehe

I was a but slow at getting what the goal meant. Thought the sum of all tiles should be 20. Nice concept.

Really cool concept, needs some game balancing though. A balanced version would be a hit!

Beautiful polish. The learning curve is pretty harsh, though. I think I would have "got" it faster (and enjoyed it more) if my first goal had been a small number like 7, and only growing to 34 once I'd mastered the techniques necessary for matching it up. (My game has a similar problem with random goal selection.)

Great job!

I'm really not into math game but I loved this, great animation and easy to understand.
I had some bug I think, it seems sometimes the next level wasn't initialized correctly (the previous tiles were still present.
Anyway great job !

@Alexandre Sybiak thanks for pointing out that bug. Can you repeat that issue, or does ithappen more than once? I can't seem to duplicate it, but I'm looking into it.
Thanks for playing!

Awesome game!! One of my favourite entries so far. Really deep and intuitive gameplay. One minor detail though, it's fibonacci not fibonaci :D

A nice puzzle game indeed. The simple mechanic and the polished interface make it easy to understand how the game works.

This could easily fit mobile platforms (especially tablets) but I have the feeling that you thought about that, given how smoothly you can pan the game board while keeping the left mouse button pressed :D

I'm not very good in math, so I'm wondering how do you calculate the number of available moves every time. I think I'll read your code :D

Very nice job!

I <3 puzzles.

This is neat. if you want some feedback, let's see... I think the way to move the camera isn't obvious at first, you could do something about that. Also maybe it would look better if the colors "scaled" with the values on the square. You could change the color randomly a bit to keep it interesting, but a major part of the color could be decided on the square value.

Also, I think previewing what the value is going to be would be cool. Everyone can do the math of how much is 3 + 4 + 3 but that's kind of not the point of the game. The point should be about planning how to reach the goal value and not doing basic arithmetic, I think.

Nice game, I really like puzzles like this :)

The clicking bug seems to be a Unity/Chrome thing.

I'm not sure what the win condition is? I was clearly selecting tiles with larger numbers than the goal, and nothing was happening.

Still - looks like it could be a great entry into the Threes / 2048 space.

Nice addictive game, but the music was quite repetitive. Also, the ability to restart mid game when you know you won't be able to win would've been nice.

Quite a cute game to get some practice at Fibonacci numbers. The music is quite repetitive after a while.
