An abstract puzzle game that combines match-the-colors and memory-puzzle mechanics! Made for  NewbiesGameJam2022,  minimalism was the required theme!  Let me know if you find some bugs. You can find the whole project at OneTwo on GitHub.

Minimalism can be found in the overall style of the game: few and simple objects and shapes, simple controls, few delicate colors, few sounds, and few animations. 

I guess the game is also consistent with the extra challenge "Alone...": the source of inspiration for the game was some variant of solitaire, the pinnacle of games you play when you are...alone!

Game objective

Uncover, find and match all the pairs of adjacent blocks of the same color.  Try to solve the puzzle by minimizing your moves counter.

Simple controls

  • CLICK/TAP on a block to select it
  • PRESS and DRAG  to swap two adjacent blocks
  • CLICK/TAP on the UI element to interact with it

My goals

My first game-jam ever and the third "complete"  game I have ever published! This time, my goals are focused on time management and deadline stuff.  I will not try to tackle too many completely new things. After the voting deadline, I will do some much-needed code refactoring and some game updates expansion....maybe.  

Credits

Because of my ignorance in music/audio/font, I downloaded the following free assets:

Known Issue

  •  Audio issues with the HTML5 version played on mobile (for now reported only on Android, iPhone 11 sound is fine) (on Android you can download the apk, it works "great")
  • Game is too much luck based in my opinion; on average, moves counter playing chaotically is not that different  from moves counter trying to play seriously (possible solution: timed based, on average, show for few secs all the configuration with color)
  • Size files can be decreased

Latest version: 0.4.1

hello sir, can i get sourcecode this game html5 ??? where i contact u ??????

You can find the source-code on github (OneTwo on Github). Obviously, being a Godot project, some things (like some signal connection, alignment, basic animations,..) are done directly in Godot's scenes (the .tscn files) and not in C#-scripts.   (The game was made for a game-jam with a deadline, so the code is not super-clean! XD)

What game engine? *Wanna know*...

It's Godot 3.4 (Mono to code in C#)!

NOICE.

l ran into a bug where after clicking one of the tiles nothing happened when clicking the others, soft locking me

Thanks for the feedback! Mmm... interesting... Did nothing happen even if you click on an adjacent tile (and not part of the first row of tiles already colored at the beginning)? Because the rules of the game are: 

  1. once you selected a tile, you can interact only with an adjacent tile (can select if not already collapsed or can swap)
  2. in order to make a valid match of one hidden tile with the corresponding tile part of the first row (the fixed tiles already colored at the beginning), the hidden tile must be the last one remaining for that specific color (so, you must find first all the hidden pairs of that color, in a 6x4 grid there are 2 hidden pair and 1 extra tile for every color)

If it's not a bug, maybe I should add some way to show what are the possible tiles (the adjacent ones) you can interact with after selection (apart from the small tutorial on the ? menu)

Anyways, thanks again for the feedback!

Hi!

I found this game while I diving in the forums

Nice job I love the ambient with the music! congrats on your first game :)

Hi! Thank you very much! 

This is the first time I join a game jam, but previously I made 2 other small puzzle games (published on itch.io). So, I already have some little and restricted "experience" (roughly 5-6 months)...
