No offense, Gabrien: strivemind made the thread one minute ahead of yours and he has a video.

Looks cool -- I'll check it out.

No worries, I never looked at it as a competition. Besides, now I know where to post some impressions.

What a strange little game. And I mean that in a good way. Mostly. Basically a Match-3. But with a rather elaborate story attached to the proceedings. A story that's... Quirky. Yes, that's a good word. And one that I'd call very Japanese, if it wasn't apparently, very French. But the two kinds can share surprisingly a lot of common ground in any case. Spelling and grammar errors abound, but don't detract too much in this instance.

The game's goals and mechanics aren't explained particularly well. Why are there three rounds? What affects how many stars I get? What are the stars for? If you can answer any one of the above questions after a half hour's play or so, you're doing better than me. And probably having a fair bit of fun, which I also am, regardless.

Technically the game's well polished, the cartoon art is appealing if not particularly original, and the package as a whole has held my interest for longer than most match-3s do these days on first playthrough.

No IAP.

No IAP!!
That's like odd but sweet music to the ears

By the way when I first read this title today I thought it was like another pee pee boy game or something like that

Thanks for the review Gabrien, I am glad that you had fun playing it. We definitively have to work out the explanation of some of the game mechanics. I'll try to get that in for the next update!

@Capricornman, we choose no to use IAP as the game wasn't really fit for it.

This really is a learning project for us and a lot needs to be worked on from there.
But I'm still quite happy with the result .

Would you say Gabrien seal of approval? No offense, just trust your insight into games. Thank you

It isn't perfect, but at only a dollar with no IAP it isn't a hard recommendation. I certainly don't regret picking it up myself.
