I think you have a good embryo to a solid puzzler here: quite relaxing to play and just needs some AAA\/F2P polish and it could be a good mobile game. What I think is its main drawback is the mental overload of moving more than one row\/column when dragging. I find it hard to strategise when the entire field shifts too much and the predictability goes down. Many times I was just dragging randomly and hoping for 4+ match. The drag entire field could be a good IAP-powerup or something similar."},{"author_name":"Larzan","author_uid":"10395","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 9:18pm","epoch":1461100380,"text":"I didn't expect it to be that captivating, well done.\rI like the combination of form + color, it takes a while to get used to.

Each of 3 levels slightly increases the variation and difficulty. Constant high-score list updating as you play, compete with other Ludum Darers! Should take only a few minutes to get to the final level.\r\n\r\nDevelopment notes:\r\nThis is my third Ludum Dare, and had fun as always! This one happens to fall right as I am recovering from jet lag upon arriving in Europe for my 2.5-month long nomadic wanderings as I try to balance independent game development and traveling. To top it off, right before the Ludum Dare began my first commercial independent game, Splody, was Greenlit on Steam! Needless to say I've not spent a lot of time concentrating on this entry, but I'm happy with what I made (even if small in scope) and enjoyed playing with a bunch of various puzzle game mechanics to land on this. Such small tweaks to mechanics can completely change the feel of a puzzle game! Anyway, hope you enjoy it!\r\n\r\nLike my last LudumDare entry, this one is also built in HTML5\/WebGL using a hacked up version of Turbulenz. Mostly works on mobile, just not text entry for the high score name.","title":"Triple Shift"}
