# INSTRUCTIONS

P or ~ for pause. Backspace for back. 

-Match 3 -

Left click and hold on the game piece and drag it to a direction to the piece you want to swap.

- Bubble Shooter - 

Turn left - a, left arrow

Turn right - d, right arrow

Fire - space bar, w, up arrow, left mouse button

# Bo means the number of different colors are on the board.

A Match 3 game with some interesting game modes. Solo, VersusAI, time attack,  One Move. and a Bubble Shooter.

I don't play any match three games, so I don't know how they are usually played.  I want to also disclose I don't have anything against Match 3 games, but I think we can agree that there are a lot of them out there.


Some bugs/notes: 

Double pausing, End music for bubble shooter missing. AI Difficulty only effects the match game and not the bubble shooter bot (it just shoots in random directions).

If you are having frame rate issues, disable the background and it should, hopefully, be okay!

Let me know if you have any questions, suggestions or run into bugs. And no, I don't want to make different shapes. Thanks for taking the time to play my game and have fun!

The drag mechanism is a little glitchy, and so is the fall effect, but otherwise a decent game.

The One Move on the 2 color board might need a limit, though. I'm up to around 6600x250x10! and it has no signs of stopping. Generally 50-95% of the field is matched every turn. This is only the 2nd time I've played this board. The first time I only got 6 loops. Lol.

And trying to exit the level while it's endlessly looping doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for taking the time to play my game and finding issues with it! I greatly appreciate it. 

So far dragging on my end seems fine.  But I do know when I ran a previous build without a background on my 10 year old laptop, it lagged  a little with all the effects. So I'll definitely look into it making it better.

I knew One Move with the 2 colors would be controversial. I went over 400 loops sometimes, but it is kind of a silly mode to kind of watch more than half the board match itself. It was originally how I tested for matches and decided to just make it into a game mode.

Have you tried hitting the P key while playing/looping? It is the pause button, but I'll be adding different keys as the pause button. If hitting P didn't help, I really have more testing to do!


Thanks again for playing. Let me know if there are more issues.
