Description
Hello guys.I have created a new puzzle game. The game are made using HTML5 and JavaScript.
Title:
MLP Elements of Harmony.
Features:
- Dynamic gameplay.
- 3 difficulty levels.
- Background and effect settings (in options).
- Great game music and sounds.
Description:
MLP Elements of Harmony is a simple and fun puzzle game.
Select three identical elements to make an energy chain for destroying them. On its way the energy chain will also destroy all the elements that have a common point. The elements that you must destroy are always shown at the bottom of the screen. When some elements are destroyed, new elements will be created.
Time is against you though you must hurry and destroy the necessary elements as quickly as possible in order to advance to the next level. Once the time is run out, the game is over.
The more elements you destroy, the more points you can get.

Okay, so as a game designer I have a need to give a serious critique on this, mostly to point out the strengths and the flaws. I understand that you might not want a hard critique, so if that is the case, don't read the next paragraph, and just take my feedback as: a classic game with a creative new twist, but overall still kind of easy. Still, great job on this game.
Hard Critique: Okay, so if you're reading this, it's because you want some serious feedback. Let's start with the positives.
I'm impressed that you made this in HTML5 and JavaScript. I don't know how to use them yet and so it still seems amazing that you can use them to make games. The art is pretty great, it looks professional. What did you use for the art assets?
The menu's and UI flow smoothly and it's easy to navigate.
Finally, the new mechanic you added of choosing three gems and destroying all along the paths is pretty creative. I started on hard without reading the instructions and was instantly trying to match three, but when nothing happened I read the instructions and took it from there.
Unfortunately, this new mechanic is also the problem, or rather, you didn't add a challenge to counter it. Once I figured out that all you have to do is make the biggest or longest triangle possible, it became easy. I was never challenged, never confused, never stopped to think of a new strategy. There was no puzzle for me to solve in this puzzle game. The triangle mechanic is too powerful, it can destroy almost all of the blocks in one go.
There are two solutions: one is to make the triangle weaker, and the second is to counter that ability. You could add an "evil gem," which can block a triangle path. So if you choose two gems, but a dark gem is along that magic path, you are blocked from making choosing those two gems. This would add more of a puzzle element for the player.
Of course you don't want the board to fill with dark gems, so you could add a way to destroy them. You could make them dark versions of the elements. So a dark element of honesty gem that can only be destroyed if it's along the path of an three honesty gems, but it will blocks paths for all the other gems. For hard mode, you can add a dark gem that can't be destroyed, and instead will last for five turns.
I can tell you put a lot of work into it, but remember to add a challenge for the player. If it has one solution the game becomes easy and then it becomes boring.
In conclusion, this game is well polished and creative, but not much of a puzzle game.
