4444 (itch) (Loïc ANQUEZ)

4444 is a fast Tile-matching Puzzle-game!

4444 (feel free to pronounce it however you like) is a simple, almost retro, Tile-matching Puzzle game. In this prototype, you can experience the basics of its gameplay.

Core Gameplay:

• Move your cursor with your arrows and place you next Tile (top right).
• You can ONLY move on the LINE and the COLUMN of the previous Tile.
• Match colored Tiles in a group of at least 4 to make them disappear!

Gauge & Black Tiles

• If you don't place a Tile before the Speed gauge is emptied, the Tile will be placed automatically.
• If a "forced" Tile is placed on another Tile, it becomes a Black Tile, which cannot be destroyed.
• Each group made will speed up the Gauge!

Game Over:

• The game stops when the grid is full or when a Tile is placed on top of a Black Tile.

Disclaimers:

• This is a "V0", a draft, a first prototype to try out the core idea of this game. It might be updated and improved, it might not!
• 4444 takes inspiration from retro puzzler, such as Tetris, Snake, Puyo-Puyo, or even Connect Four.

I've made this prototype solo-ish, with the help of Rémi Leblanc. (Thank you so much!)
