We are doing some final play testing and fixing any bugs found right now.

I am hoping to have the demo out by the end of the week at the latest.

Here are some in-game screen shots.

Let us know what you think.

Be sure to check out the demo.

It will be a smaller 10 level version of the game with varying difficulty and only basic mode being open.

Hi Anthony, congrats on the progress thus far. Is this an asteroid stroke rock version of the jewels in bejewelled?

Thanks.

Considering the idea for the game is less then a week old I think we're doing a good job.
Helps that all we do is work on game stuff all day.

This is actually a different take on the match-3 style puzzle games. Where as most matching style games you have to move pieces around - in this game all you do is 'cycle' the pieces.

It requires you to plan almost every move (I have gotten away with a little random clicking every now and then). One wrong move and you will not be able to complete the level.

Definitely! When you say cycle, do you mean four pieces are rotated clockwise/anti-clockwise?

In any case, a new element on the match-3 style genre could prove popular (especially if the casual market research is believed) provided you execute it well enough! Good wishes with the project :0)

Sounds a little like Zoo Keeper on Nintendo DS - but that's one fun game so keep up the good work!

Making some good progress on the game.

I think that we might have the demo ready tomorrow.

Right now I am finishing up the User system and fixing a few bugs.
