<h1>Controls</h1>
<ul>
<li>Move the cursor using the arrow keys</li>
<li>Rotate the cursor with the O button (Z key)</li>
<li>Swap two tiles with the X button (X key)</li>
<li>You can only swap tiles if it will result in a match-3</li>
</ul>
<h1>Rules</h1>
<p>You're trapped in a haunted house with a bunch of Halloween stereotypes and the only way to defeat them and escape is by matching three or more common monsters in a row!</p>
<p>It's actually just a Halloween themed Match-3 clone. Get 100 match-3's before time runs out to win!</p>
<h1>Behind the Scenes</h1>
<p>This is my second ever released game, I'd love to know what you think! I realize this game is pretty barebones even for a match-3 clone, and while I may decide to build upon it with more features and objectives in the future, at least for now I'm happy with it being a short, fun little Halloween minigame. So I really hope you enjoy, and Happy Halloween to all!</p>
<h1>Credits</h1>
<p>This game, its visuals, and audio was made entirely by myself. If you need to contact me about the game, you can reach me at: [email protected]</p>
<p>Special thanks to Grubermusic (<a href="https://www.grubermusic.com/">https://www.grubermusic.com/</a>) for creating Pico-8 Tunes Vol. 2 from which I got the track "Eyes in the Dark"</p>
<p>Lastly, a shoutout to Krystman of Lazy Devs (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/LazyDevs/featured">https://www.youtube.com/c/LazyDevs/featured</a>) whose incredibly helpful Pico-8 tutorials played a huge part in making this project possible.</p>
<p>Changelog:</p>
<ul>
<li>v1.1
<ul>
<li>Fixed AI which checks if there are any valid moves left on the board. AI should now work properly.</li>
<li>Implemented hint system where, after 8 seconds of no moves being made, a hint box will appear around a tile that is involved with a valid move.</li>
</ul></li>
