Started as an ambitious idea inspired by another game, but I don't have the artistic experience (or the money to hire somebody who does) to make that a reality. Heck, I miraculously even got a functioning game up at all before the Jam deadline. If given more time, I could update this to have less placeholder-y sprites, at least ones with distinct silhouettes, to make it friendlier to the colorblind. If there's a demand for that, please let me know so I can prioritize it accordingly!

As the name suggests, this is intended to be a role-playing game of sorts, where your customizable hero is either rescuing a lover, or playing against them in a framing device. An extended campaign would be more likely to use the former as a story, whereas a more arcade-style experience would use the latter as a setup. Maybe I could eventually do both and have a Story Mode and an Arcade Mode? Would have to be a super-long-term goal, though.

Oh, I even wanted to have this cool mechanic where if you matched different kinds of symbols simultaneously, their effects would combine in varied and interesting ways! Would have fit the theme for Strawberry Jam 10 better if I had managed to put that in, but alas, I have half an hour to finish typing this.

I don't suppose I have much else to say here. Game is endless in its current state, so play it as long as you will. If you manage to run out of matches, the board will reshuffle itself to let you start anew. If you wish to support the development of this project, vocalize your support in the comments first and foremost, and then if you wish, you may make a donation. I would be most grateful if you did. My means of asset creation may be as yet limited, but that doesn't mean I can't continue refining the mechanics when I get the time to do so.

Enjoy!

With love,
