Thats very kind, thank you!


This looks very nice, I like the tutorial! What did you use to make it?

I'm actually working on an app myself, waiting on approval from apple. If you don't mind I would prefer to launch it myself.


Thank you :)

Yeah you can keep playing. Game state is saved in a cookie, so you can even close the page and come back.

I have optimised the game for mobile and it's possible to add it to the home screen since it's a PWA. I have considered making an app but haven't really tried that before.

I have no experience with web gaming portals but I think would be open to it.


how could we get in touch? should I send you a PR on Github?


You can email me at [email protected]


Thank you! Slidecross is also quite fun and satisfying.


Weird. I dont have an android to test with and I dont get the lag on iOS even in very long games.

I have removed some unused debug functionality, that might have caused it. Hope it helps.


Not a bad score on your first try!

1. I actually agree, but I think it might be a bit confusing for beginners. I've considered speeding up animations for combos, or adding a setting for animation speed.

2. I've thought about this a lot but I think it's too late to implement now. My wife and I are already competing for highscores, so if I change it now I'll have a grumpy wife!

3. I've only played bejeweled, so I don't haven't seen this mechanic in practice. Might be fun to implement but it would have to be a different game mode.

4. I have added sliding now.

Thank you for playing and good feedback!


I discovered you'd added the sliding while I was in the middle of a game and muscle memory made me slide - I did a little double take and then test slide on the next one!

I've now done the Add to Home Screen thing on my iPhone - will definitely be playing this a lot. I've managed to get up to 46k now, but I think I need to rethink my strategies as I'm playing it like a mix of Threes and Zoo Keeper - there's actually more to think about here than on those.

As a side note, I once came up with this exact game concept in a dream but never got around to trying it out to see if it would be fun. Glad you did, because it's definitely fun.


Nice game! 49,600 after a few tries.

Agreed with the above though, I think it might be a bit more strategic if combos were awarded non-linearly,

(Although, again, the game is pretty good as it is)


Nice score! I like how clean the game is now, so I don't think I'll implement ads. I have added swiping though, hope it feels a bit better now :-)


Thank you for the feedback! The hitboxes are already quite big on mobile (only a 2px gap). I have implemented swiping though, let me know how it feels :)


Swiping makes this much easier to use and even more addictive. Nice work!


Done, thank you!


Thank you! I will add a license to the repo when i get back to my pc tomorrow. I think ill go with MIT.
