Match3
Prototype made for Trijam #228: The 3 hour game jam.
Imagine an overheating reactor and you are tasked with keeping it working. The heat is continously growing at steadily increasing pace. Match the gems in lines of 3 or more to cool it down! The more gems you collect in one move the more heat will be removed from the reactor. Be careful though, once the heat exceeds 10% there will be no new gems produced unless you can manage to get it down with what you have remaining. How long can you survive?
Matching a line of 4 gems will create a Spanner powerUp which increases the total heat capacity of the reactor, giving you a bit more time before it explodes.
Matching a line of 5 or more gems will create a Hourglass powerUp which reduces the speed at which the heat ramps up.
Use powerUps by shifting them with any neighboring gem or powerUp.

Cool! How was this made in three hours!?
Thanks! I am as surprised as you :D there isn't much code behind this actually, just 5 files totalling under 800 lines of code, the game's logic being half of that. I missed the 3hour mark by a bit though, had some trouble animating the moves correctly
