After 14 i couldn't spot a single pair; before that the difficulty was challenging and rewarding, after that - only endless line of "nope" :)

Nice game, but I really don`t see how this has anything to do with Connected Worlds.

When I reached level 30, I had a few minutes to look closely to catch the same picture. This game is not as simple as it seems.

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry, that metaphor was too obvious. In the next game I will try to fix it! :)

Cool game. Got to 40.

Game starts very easy; gets very challenging.

Tips to players: Keep clicking on blocks on the bottom row. You'll eventually find a match on the top and having already clicked on the initial block will help you make the small window of time. Also, watch out for those arrows! Many blocks are very similar but the arrows are different.

Made 54 (My head is spinning :D). Very addicting.

I like it. As an EE, the graphics are near and dear to me. Amusing game, and quite addictive.

Awesome job! It's a bit slow though.

Really liked this. What a great premise. I immediately wanted more difficulty and got it shortly after. Great idea!

I think there might be a bug. The first time I played I made it to 7 points before the game showed no more matches. The top row showed only one type of symbol and the bottom row showed only another type of symbol, even though I waited for a good minute. After refreshing the page I was able to progress.

Had to wait for a match really long time at one point, don't know if that's a bug. Only on one level though, later worked fine.

Got to 32 before calling it quits, gotta go to bed...
Interesting idea, though.

Well done and addictive :P

You got the connecting, just not the worlds. Interesting mechanics, pretty cool concept. Nice job!

Took me a few minutes to understand you were matching color and symbol and not tiny differences in the line thicknesses or anything (might have been a problem with the webplayer that was solved when I reloaded) Once I got that it was fun...until I hit level 14 and the top row was all bipolar devices and the bottom row was only IGFETs or some such (another EE, but I do CMOS :) Cute idea but might have a bug. (Yeah, I know, 48 hours and I'm surprised there's a bug?) Nice work. I agree that you need to explain how this fits the theme. (I'm thinking it does, but you didn't explain.)

I thought it was going to be lame after the first two rounds.

NOPE.

I can't make it past 10. This is hard! But at the same time it didn't feel unfair. Excellent concept! With some more polish it could be a pretty addicting mobile game.

Got 18 :)

Pretty cool concept and the difficulty curve is well thought out. Music was cool but not very appropriate IMO (maybe a happy, skippy tune instead?). Graphics did their job.

Good game, would play on a mobile phone :)

Wow, I made it to 40... now my eyes hurt...

Quite difficult and hypnotising game. Well done!

Random bug - fixed

> I agree that you need to explain how this fits the theme. (I'm thinking it does, but you didn't explain.)

I think that the two worlds are combined through the same things. This is the bridge, which gives support to new things from another world. Look for similar things in different worlds - a difficult job. I decided to do to make this work in game. Two different flow are two of the world. The player searches for a common link between threads. The efforts of the player combines two of the world through search of the same things. Thanks to your reviews, I realized that this metaphor is too abstruse. Accept my apologies for such prototest.

I feel like there should be a penalty for letting a match disappear from the screen without selecting it. Overall, I thought this was decent, and it got surprisingly difficult after awhile.
