twofold inc‪.‬ 4+

Enjoyable game, with cute sound effects and animations. My only complaint is it doesn't use the screen real estate very well and could use a landscape mode.

You lose the game when there is a request asking for a color that is literally not enough on the entire board. Because it is probably the fewest color during the entire course of the game, you were unlikely to have been able to accumulate it at the bottom bonus area. So when you lose your game, you don’t feel like you could have done anything differently to come back. You lose when the color generation randomness decides you to lose.

This is a beautiful game, well made sound affects and animations, but just after a dozen games and you figured out it’s basically an elaborated wheel of fortune. Your actions don’t really matter, you are gonna lose on that fewest color, there is nothing you can do.

Suggestion: when you over match one color, accumulate bonus for every other color. This way there is actually a choice: should I try to complete the critical color directly? Or make a big sweep of the abundant color in order to use bonus point for my critical color? Also, don’t generate request that is literally uncompletable given the number of colors on board. For compensation you probably should reduce health point to 2+1 and non regenerable, otherwise it’s just so softcore and cheesy, it doesn’t help you win the game in the long run anyways.

Also an example of how game mechanisms completes each other instead of working against each other, try “SPL-T”, very simple design, but you always feel like you could have done differently to win more.
