this was fun. I actually cleared the screen. I though that it was pretty cool that you could flip the tiles from one world to the other. It was like playing 2 games at once.

It took a few plays to get what was going on, but is a pretty cool concept and take on the theme. As always, dig the art style and music!

i think the 'falling down' animation was a bit annoying when you put a new block at the beginning of a free column. other than that, solid entry

A good take on the match 3 genre using this theme.

Fun! I thought the graphics (though it bothered me that the rightmost column is kind of behind the frame) and music were great, and it wasn't a chore to finish off the board. It was pretty easy, though. Maybe it'd be an improvement to have some kind of hindrance.

Fun to play. An improvement would be if the blocks placement was blocked after board is cleared. Because currently it adds more actions.

interesting remake of match-3.
need something to make it more challenging (time or limit the number of actions until the next match...)
(and an end screen)

Hi there. Like the design, UI and tiles. The gentle music also nice background. Found the constant need to flip sides fairly frustrating, I get that's the point, but perhaps could show both sides at once (within same square somehow (miniature in middle ?) or its just flip, flip, flip... Good solid puzzle!

I really like the art and audio for this, it feels really cosy. The game mechanic is cool, even if it is yet another match-3 game. ;) Took me a while to realise I could place blocks as well as flipping them, and it would be nice if it detected when you win. But overall, pretty cool! :)

Took a little fiddling to get it to work in Chrome, and took a while to figure out, but I like it. Sort of reminds me of Tetris. Good job!

Love the music! Your interpretation of the theme was refreshing. It bent my brain a little but in a good way.
