Past two weeks, I have been working on an HTML5 puzzle game: Eight Colors. The rules of the game are pretty simple but it does get a little challenging after the first few levels. It was super-fun to design and implement this game (not so fun though hacking around quirks of iOS Safari 😅)
Let me know what you folks think. Happy to answer any question if you have.

The look and feel is nice! Especially the added sounds. Makes it feel "clicky" which is a good thing. Good job.
The game is fun and looks really good! I suggest adding the #showdev tag as well, as it's meant for showcasing cool things you've built.
My biggest feedback is it would be cool if you could manipulate the grid with the mouse kind of like how you can swipe on a phone.
Thank you, I have added the tag. Regarding mouse controls, it will get tiring very quick to move the mouse around and clicking and dragging. Keyboard controls do take some time to click, but they do.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 very nice game i like it
This is really fun! Could be addictive :P
Great game! I stopped at level 7 😅 cause I didn't have enough time to spare.
I thought this is wordle-like inspired game, but it actually inspired by rubik cube.
The mechanics are sort of similar to Rubik's cube I guess but the game is inspired from a lesser known NES game I used to play - James Bond Jr. I don't know if it's just similar to any other game made in the past. 15 Puzzle comes close.
Sometimes, one of the bubbles vanishes. Otherwise, nice one.
Does it happen on Phone/desktop? Any way to reproduce?
Chrome 100 on Android. It's an intermittent issue; I've only seen it happen on the outer border. Is it open source?
well done!
it's really fun and addictive!
Its look clean! Good work
Wow that's actually really nice! Well done!
Very hard to use on mobile as the screen scrolls when you swipe up and down - making it very hard to make vertical shifts. I also found that the page would sometimes go into a 'pull down to refresh' when trying to shift a column downwards.
On desktop, a better control system would probably be
arrow keysto move andshift+arrow keysto shift the rows and columnsScreen shouldn't scroll. Can you tell me your mobile browser?
Firefox
And your phone model?
Google Pixel 2
Won't even load on Chrome right now - gets stuck in a redirect loop. Had this happen on Firefox too (desktop). Something seems amiss
Hmm. It works fine for me in Firefox
I've had the redirect loop thing a few times on both browsers. Hard to reproduce though
oh
