challenging game and good price too! recommended!

Fun little game, great art and sound design. I had the most fun using a screen tablet instead of a mouse - works pretty well! Sometimes the matching is a bit finicky; I'm still trying to figure out what counts as "in" and what doesn't. On rare occasions, it seems that the required combo just isn't possible to make. Overall it's just stuff that a little fine tuning could mitigate.

Crisppyboat's style and character designs are just so charming, and i think all of that was executed perfectly for a game like this. The Dexter's Lab vibes enveloping the whole thing are immaculate, and the characters and their dynamic are so fun. I can see the potential in this game being really fun and addicting if i could play it on a touchscreen or a more tactile form factor, but in spite of me just not being all that quick with a mouse there's still fun to be had. For every interesting idea put into this game that I think successfully aid the flow of gameplay like the multicolored substitute floogles that just make searching for combos easier, as an alternative to finding the pattern the game is showing you down to the letter; I see issues like the timer being slightly overbearing, even in regular mode, as to feel like there's little to no time to both locate a pattern and maneuver your mouse to draw a box around it - which as previously stated may just be something personal to me - . Or UI elements getting in the way of me being able to see my box that i'm drawing which happened to me a couple of times which resulted in me failing to close my boxes seeing how the first point I jotted down was hidden underneath the monitor in the top corner. I have my nitpicks but for what it's worth, I can't say i'm not delighted with this game.

It's a very fun and creative puzzle game. I do have a few notes tho. I wish there was a but more story to the game outside of the first cutscene you see. Like maybe have a story mode with like different levels and/or objectives. I'm not saying you should go the full Dr. Mario route for this game's story, I just want a bit more story (I mainly just want to see the villain and henchwoman be together lol). I want a full settings menu where I can change the games volume and also the size of the window. Cause the window size for this game for me is pretty small. I wish to make it full screen. I also noticed a few glitches in the game where sometimes you wouldn't be able to box in some froobies (or whatever they're called). Like I feel I could've sworn I put some frooby in a box and it just didn't count. So it felt like I needed to be extra careful. But other than that, the art is lovely and the game itself is super fun and creative. I liked it a lot and wish to see it become more. Idk if you have any intentions on updating this game or making this game more than what it is currently, but I really like, especially for $3.
