[Game] JAM3 Game

[Ivan Koswara]

JAM3 Game, Just Another Match 3 Game. Inspired from Candy Crush Saga and other such games that require lots of luck to get the pieces aligned as you wish, within move limit. (Or you spend money.) Now you can take your time; no move limit! You can move anywhere; no need to make a match! Set up the board as you wish and trigger the big combo! After all, trick shot is the whole point of the game...

Currently still in progress, but it's probably just adding/polishing the levels and putting better sprites. Feedback welcome.

Finding it difficult to see how to win level 2! Not sure if that's because I'm missing something or just not thinking it through properly.

I'm not sure what might be missed.
- Your objective is to put gems of the same color on all target squares at some point. (This will make them to pop, but you're credited the win.)
- Gravity is at work; popped gems leave space where gems above them will fall to. This can trigger a chain.
- You can complete the objective in the middle of a chain.

Spoiler for level 2.

Awesome. #5 and #7 were the ones that made me say "what—but how" the loudest.

oh, this is cool! Love what you have to figure out to get level 2

Just means I need to work on it quicker.

...speaking of which, there we go. Fixed a few bugs I found (moving against the wall at the bottom; generating of specific gem colors), made a total of 15 levels, tweaked things a bit (sprite for target is now a darker gray, hopefully more visible; skip level added). I give up thinking of better sprites. Gems might not be colorblind-friendly :( Levels might still be changed later, but I think those are passable.

(I'm not a big fan of "press x twice to skip", if somebody can't solve level X, will they get much more from level X+1?)

[Ivan Koswara]

I think level 5 is a little harder than level 6 (but I put them that way just because level 1-5 don't involve extra walls and level 6-10 involve them), so there's some use. But level skip is mostly for people that have done a certain level before and are too lazy to redo them.
