Suit Yourself

About this game

Made this "match 3"* type game in several short snatches of time on a road trip. 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.)

Submitted early for Ludum Dare 59 due to time constraints (spent about 12 hours of work on this one.) The theme was "signal," but the game didn't end up having much to do with the theme.

How to play

  • You can connect together tiles that have either the same suit or the same color by clicking and dragging them.
  • 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.
  • Press M to toggle sound mute.
