It took me a while to work out how to play, because I didn't realize there was a second page to the instructions. I really should have paid more attention. Once I worked out how to play I got a score of 665. It's a fun game and I really like the idea of mixing colors.\n\nOne of the biggest issues I had was that I kept forgetting what I needed to mix to get the right solutions. I don't really have any ideas about how to fix that but it should somehow be easier to remember.\n\nI also think it would be really cool to have different difficulties which could easily be just based on the belt speed.

It is super fun to read the comments because some people are asking for faster belts and others for slower ones xD thanks for playing!! :laughing: \n\n@daspikeyboss nice score!! Our top score has been 1600+ points, but it reaches a point where it is too hard to do them all (intended, of course). The difficutly increases with the points you have. About the suggestion on helping to know what to merge, we tried with the two panels in the middle, as the game is basically following the rock-papers-scisor mecanic with the colors, but we'll definitely try to make it more understandable. :smile: \n\n@loiclegrosfrere thanks!! We have the instructions that clarify the order (there are two pages!!), but we have to add something in game for sure, thanks for playing!! :smiley: \n\n@splitpainter that's exactly what we were after, so thanks so so much for this comment!!! :heart_eyes: ","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":766225,"author_name":"LDJam user 263057","author_uid":"263057","epoch":1634486570,"text":"I think an in-game step-by-step tutorial would have saved a lot of headaches, but this is a game jam - and the headaches are part of the charm!
