Neat graphics, how's the game work? At first glance it looks like a match-3 game or something similar, but looking closer I notice one pair of scissors cutting a sheet of paper.

Main task to remove all objects.
There's only three types of objects - scissors, ball of strings and paper.
You select place to drop current object. Scissors cut paper, paper removes ball, ball removes scissors ( like stone,scissors,paper game ).
There's no time limit, but may be new lines appear ( from the bottom )

So why not use a stone then? Would make more sense wouldn't it, given that scissor can cut string ....

Looks cute

ah paper-rock-scissors to remove tiles on a grid, that's an interesting mechanic for a puzzle game. Now I'm curious to play it.

Thanks to all)))

My artist has suggested to use a ball of threads instead of a stone. Has told that the ball more suitable for kids game with a cat in a leading role. After short resistance I have agreed ;)

Children shouldn't play with scissors ;-)

Amanita muscaria mushrooms have white dots on them :-)

I agree with jhocking, a rock-paper-scissors game is extremely interesting! The graphics look very nice!

Unless the small child is a history major, I would disagree. It has probably been around 40 years since the average home had balls of yarn/string in it for cats to play with. Artists should do as they are told, when they start trying to go beyond their artistic skills and try to think, they will always run into trouble.

Every child knows rock-paper-scissors. Not only is it a playground game, it is a recognized sport with city, state, national and international teams/leagues which hold regular tournaments and have corporate sponsors ;)

to GaryV:

I'm agree with you. Modern children have a modern knowledge ;)

I'm novice and I need a tip. What a best way to market/sell such game (I use regnow to sell) ? May be some useful links to read?

Try talking to the team at Big Fish Games dot com.

I don't see a problem with the artist suggesting the thing (if it ends at that, of course). After all, not only is he an artist but a designer as well.
The "blame" should be put on the contractor for accepting it or not.

Looks like a cute game for kids - I'll have to have my kids give it a play. My daughter likes causual games :)
