Welcome to COLOLINKS!

COLOLINKS! is a matching game that takes some mechanics of Two Dots/Dots and mixes it with a bit of Candy Crush feel! :)

Gameplay

The game is a matching game in 6x6 board, The game features normal 4 marbles along with 2 special marbles and while the mechanics is too similar to Two Dots game it has some small taste of Candy Crush which incorporated into the special marbles.

You match marbles with mouse/touch to get points and challenge people via the online "Leaderboards" to show players the real power you have!

The game can be played offline and i provided sync button on main menu that can be shown after first time played in top left of main menu, So if you have internet connection later you can push your score then! ^_^

The game gives you a time limit of 30 seconds but you can get extra time by activating special marbles which mentioned next section...

Special Marbles

The game features 2 special marbles which has a great take on the game and plays great role in adding extra time!

1. Scissor Marble: You can get this by matching 6 - 9 Marbles, This gives extra time of 4 seconds in addition this clears both column and row this Marble is on.

2. Bucket Marble: You can get this by matching 10 or more Marbles, This gives extra time of 8 seconds in addition to clear the Marbles with same color this Marble connected to.

"Special Marbles" also can be activated by clicking instead of matching them with another Marbles! ^_^

FAQ

Is internet connection required to play the game?

No but if you wish to submit your score to the Leaderboards then in that case internet connection is required, If you want to play offline you can submit your score later via the "Sync" button.

What if my score isn't submitted to the Leaderboards?

If you didn't scored anything (I mean 0) then it won't do it, But else if you had bad internet connection and "You" not appeared on Leaderboards, In that case reconnect via Sync button.

Which platforms has modding support?

Desktops, Sadly you can't load mods on Mobile and Web  platforms due to security reasons though i look into adding this :(

What if my mods failed to load?

Don't worry because a fallback is provided which will switch to default themes/palettes, Plus i recommend ya to check modding instructions from the text file to ensure that no mistakes you did, If you think that game has a bug then tell me in comments! ^_^

No Keyboard Shortcuts?

Sure there are, Check them out here!

Development

I used DragonRuby Game Toolkit which utilizes Ruby in amazing way powered by SDL and mruby, The themes made using FireAlpaca (Except Roman Numbers by my friend, Which made with Adobe Illustrator)

Most of the icons and images were grabbed from sites like iconsdb and OpenGameArt except few images drawn by me using FireAlpaca, The sounds and music where grabbed from freesound.

All third party content info/licenses/credits can be found in text file comes along with desktop distributions and also the file can be seen here

If you're interested about editor i used Notepad++ and about 6500 lines of Ruby were written to make this great work! :)
