Great polish and very intuitive gameplay! I think the difficulty curve was a bit extreme, I couldn't get very far at all x)
Super straight forward concept with heaps of polish and depth to keep it fun! Awesome work :)
Nice game! I liked the polish. It's fun, but maybe a little hard. It would be nice if it started out a bit easier before the difficulty ramped up. Going from 9 tiles to 16 also feels like a huge jump. I enjoyed it though!
This is a really hard game. Like extremely difficult. I think the design idea of FLOW might help a bit? With self-regulating ramping difficulty. It is quite satisfying to win though with all the effect and such.
Wonderful game! I loved how you could choose what to upgrade and how the game got progressively harder. I didn't think I would get this much enjoyment out of a simple memory game.
Well done!
I really enjoyed this! At first I thought it was going to be a match game but then I realized it wasn't and was instead something way more interesting and enjoyable. Definitely tough but fun. And I love that you integrated a "shop" phase too, and that the difficulty ramps and ramps. I think you executed on this idea really well, awesome job!
Not bad! Unfortunately, my short-term memory is terrible...
A fun and interesting game. Love the concept of a memory game which is very creative even though my memory is awful making it really hard for me. The audio and visuals were good and made the game even better. Maybe saying how much fish there are that you need to pick would be nice but I wouldn't find that a complete detriment to the game. I still found it quite enjoyable. You made something really fun and creative in only two days. Good luck on the jam!
Hey, thanks for playing! I really appreciate all the feedback! I love the idea of telling the player the number of fish as it can definitely lower the difficulty a little without really giving much away at all. I think difficulty is definitely a little too high right now, so this is a very clever way to address it! Thanks again for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed!
Hey! Thanks for playing! As to address your comments, I decided to take the topic, "Roll of the Dice" a little more in the theoretical sense rather than the literal, as I knew many people would take it literally and focus on using the most common D6 die and D20 die. Of course, being conscious of people who wouldn't see the tie to the theme as much, I did incorporate dice into my game, albeit a bit half-heartedly due to time constraints. Basically between every round, you "roll the dice" to get the board, and it's supposed to imply that each face of the dice have different fish on them, thus creating the board in the game. Also, as for the more definite incorporation, we have "Roll of the Dice" implying that there is an element of randomness, which comes from the board being randomly chosen every time, and also the fish you're supposed to flip over is randomly chosen as well. As for the "puzzle" aspect, it's not really supposed to be a puzzle, but rather a memory game. Hopefully that clears up the confusion about the theme. You're right, adding instructions is definitely something I can implement right now though haha. I thought it was self-explanatory but getting thrown into the game like that might not be the best idea. I do also think like others have mentioned, the difficulty is a bit high, so hopefully you were able to progress despite it being kind of hard. Thank you so much for the feedback, it's very helpful! If you have any specific ideas to improve the game, please let me know! Again, thanks for playing! :)
this is a fun game really neat. very simple idea but well polished very nice!
Hey, thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Cool Little game !
Very basic idea but implemented very well. The shop between round is a relly nice add to make you want to keep playing.
good work :)
Hey, thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the shop feature and I appreciate the positive words! I'm glad you had fun :)
Neat little game
Thanks for playing! I appreciate it!
This was a nice game!
I love the gameplay and the memory aspect is really fun to play with, although this dosen't really relate to dices its still an awesome game!
Hey! Thanks for playing! I took the theme a bit more in the aspect of randomness instead of physical dice, so the tie to the theme is weaker than using actual dice. Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed :)
First memory game I see in this jam. Also the first fish-themed dice :)
Like the idea of having a shop between rounds. Good job!
Hey, thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
This is quite nice, love those memory games. Maybe missing a menu, but other than that its good. Extra bonus on mobile compatibilty !
Hi, thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The mobile compatibility was honestly unintended haha, but I guess lucky coincidence? Anyway, thanks again for playing!
Unique idea and very fun to play, with simple but effective visuals. Despite itch.io giving a warning saying this wasn't made for mobile, it worked perfectly on my phone and was an enjoyable way to spend some time
Hey, thanks for playing! I really appreciate all the feedback! The game wasn't intentionally made for mobile, but now knowing it also works for mobile, I've added that so it should say it works on phones. Thanks again for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is a classical game!! It's simple, but really well done!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Fun idea! But I absolutely suck at playing this
Haha, yeah sorry about that! I do need to adjust the difficulty as it ramps up too fast. Hopefully, you still had fun! Thanks for playing!
This is so brutally hard lol, and I thought I had a good memory. Are the number of each fish random? Sometimes you luck out and are looking for 2, sometimes you need to click half the board which is where things get really tricky
Also I really undervalued .5s at the beginning. So significant!
Hey, thanks for your comment! I definitely agree with the difficulty thing. It's a little too hard haha. I mean, I could say this was a rage game and that it's a feature lol but that'd be kinda mean. The number of fish is random, with a minimum and maximum number, but I think also part of the difficulty is the minimum goes up really fast. The viewing time upgrade definitely seems useless but it makes a big difference haha. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing! :)
Although a simple game, I found it quite challenging! Or maybe I am just tired :) The music with water visuals made it quite relaxing overall. Even when failing.
Hey, thanks for your comment! It is a bit too challenging in my opinion (and many others) so you're not alone :) I'll be making balance changes so it's a bit easier post jam to address this. I'm glad the atmosphere was relaxing enough to take a bit of the frustrations away. Thanks for playing! :)
