Is it against your principles to make this an actual arcade game? It totally doesn’t have to end…

I kind of can’t stop playing this. I keep going back and replaying the one level. I wish there was more of it somehow, more levels or something. :O

We all have our failings. I’ll be sure not to ever speak of her again in your presence until you get over it.

I hate it when people invoke Woolf because then I have to agree with whatever they’re saying :P

cascode is distinctly different from all your other games.

i do prefer your other games because they generally dont fall into generic game genres or categories.

this one was distinctly addictive. like bejewelled addictive. i think when you crack the combo of music, colours and block matching format its like cocaine. i do however regularly check your website in order to sober up from generic formulas. at the same time i did really like the game for what it was. nice pastel colour scheme. love the music.

however..

were you trying to make it that addictive?
were you aware of the path that you were taking when you made this?

D.E. I don’t find directly relevant – mainly because I don’t identify with the psychological model he complains about.

My main literary sources of reconsideration when it comes to these matter are

Yeah, not sure I entirely agree with Anna’s analysis… you see your cursor is a 2×2 grid. Nothing’s trying to trick you into think it’s match3.

And just this once… you could easily arcade-ify this and put it on some Flash portal (or iPhone app it) and make some living money.

Don’t think of it as selling out… instead, read this lovely rationalization — http://students.ou.edu/M/Eric.C.Mai-1/DE.htm
