Yeah, I used your version, but I never actually tried the original so I don't know if I changed it back to the way it was originally while I was fiddling.

[Myndraine]

Oh, goodie. Thanks. It's a lot easier to see.

I updated the original post with the new download:

Version is now 1.1, so if you are playing with 1.0, get rid of it and update!

Thanks for playing!

hey just an idea... I did download the game and love it but it would be cool if you had a score system, a menu, and then a highscore system. That way when you play you would get scores and then save your highscores. Just an idea.

all good points, but also add a background image to the game, add support for the first gen zune D-pad, and follow this guideline I posted to another beta game for music in the background: http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/sho...7&postcount=20

Any Screenshots?

I definitly like the new version i could barely see on the orgional one but this is a bit nicer for sure thanks for the update.

Can someone modify this one so that the only moves allowed are ones that will create sequences (the original lets you move any pair, whether or not you actually "MatchEm", so you can move them one by one unto position).

I will try to do this for tomorrow as a quick update.

I made a little theme for this game. the different shapes became a little annoying so i did away with them and just made different colored orbs. I changed a few other things too. download the following images and replace them with their respective images in the MatchEm -> Content -> Textures folder in the project folder if you like it:

Update today! See original post for more information or download it from here right away.

For the next update, perhaps you could make it so one could see the score while they're playing instead of after they've submitted their high score.

edit: Also, I changed the background of the menus. It was kind of...ew.

[jsedlak]

Yeah, was just an image I had laying around. I need a theme for this game... any suggestions?

[miceylulu]

I think that when you run out of moves, it should say YOU LOST or FAIL or something and let you restart. Because I have run out of moves a couple of times and I spent quite a time looking to double check, and my friend checked, and it was kind of annoying to be looking for moves when there are none left.

[mikenike]

yes i agree with a "game over"

also the icons could be changed to something that looks a lot nicer like this

[miceylulu]

I made a new theme for the icons to make them look like the jewels the person above suggested.

Save them as icons.png in the MatchEm > Content > Textures
folder.

[Soccerfreak24]

Sweet! I didn't realize there was an update. Downloading now, looks like it'l be a bit funner than the previous one.

[xCUB4N]

i made a new background just because the other one that was on there was hideous. here it is. but great game btw. keep up the updates. it would be awesome to have some background music...... if you want me to spend some time and make an even better menu just give me a theme and i'll give it a shot. here you go..
