Made this "match 3"* type game in several short snatches of time on a road trip and submitted very early for Ludum Dare 59. It's definitely not my usual, it's much smaller and a little unpolished. But I hope people will enjoy regardless!

* (It's not actually a match-3 game, because the rule for clearing things is different. But it's in the same general genre.)

  • You can connect together tiles that have either the same suit or the same color.
  • Gray "?" tiles are wild, and can connect to any other tile.
  • Connect together a chain of tiles that starts and ends with a tile of the same suit and color in order to clear them. (except "?" tiles, which can't form the ends of a chain.)
  • Black "X" tiles can't be linked into a chain. If you get a black "X" tile to the bottom of the level, it will be cleared and you will earn a lightning point.
  • If you have a lightning point, you can click the button at the bottom of the screen and then select a tile in order to clear all tiles of its same suit and color.
  • Try to go for a high score! Longer chains are higher-scoring.

Thanks for playing!

Yep! Slowpoke me would love a non-timed mode

I also thought about adding this! I didn’t have time during the game jam but maybe I’ll add it if I release a post jam version
