OneTwo

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.

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
