This is my puzzle compo entry.
I take no credit for the game idea as it is based on a game I had on an old PC, but I can't remember the name of it.
There is 9 levels so far.
Let me know what you think, particulary interested in thoughts on difficulty curve.
Thanks

Looks very nice and sweet! I like the screenshot. So I played the DEMO and it was fun. It's not very easy to win and the game interface is lovely. Good work!

Really loved your game! But yes I think it gets to hard to soon. I think Variations of the first couple of puzzles will keep the user from getting bored.

Again excellent puzzle!

I like it.

Got to level 7 on first go.

Glad to see you didn't go overboard and have some loud music going on in background. The idea of puzzle games is to concentrate on puzzle, not get a headache.

I also like the countdown thingy when you are about to run out of time.

Trying to remember where I've seen some of the game graphics. Sure they were in an Amiga game.

Good luck!

Yep I'm thinking that. Gonna make a less steep dificulty curve for final version.

Thats 'cus I got no musical talent and couldn't even put together a basic techno beat

I made the fruit a while back for a fruit machine game, the shapes are Paint Shop Pro shapes with a innerbevel. The fish is copied from a cartoon fish from internet - not copied ctrl-c but copied like a drew one the same then gradiennt filled and did an innnerbevel.

Thanks for trying.


*Edit*

@ Spooky - that Vexd game in your sig looks good is it for compo?

*Edit2*
