About harmony

harmony is a strategy board game turned digital. the key philosophy behind harmony's design is simple to learn, but hard to master. in harmony you must out maneuver your opponent to make an alternating pattern without letting them leverage your own pieces against you.

in harmony your goal is to make a pattern of four pieces in alternating states. this state can either be the face of the piece (sun, moon, sun, moon) or the color of the piece (dark, light, dark, light). this pattern must appear on a vertical line or one of the three outer rings. when on a ring the pattern can be in an arc, where all of the pieces are adjacent, or in a four corners arrangement, where the pieces are 90 degrees apart from each other.

during a turn you are able to make two moves of your color or one move of your opponent's color. a move consists of either placing a piece, moving a piece, or flipping a piece. pieces can move any number of spaces in a single direction, but cannot pass through any other piece. there is no way to remove pieces from the board.

It's a decent board game. What I enjoy most about this game is the smooth, minimal, relaxing design. The mechanics are easy to grasp, and the combinatorially huge number of different win states suggests that a detailed meta could emerge from the game. I would suggest playing this game with a friend, as the computer opponent is... challenged, to say the least. A really tough computer opponent to train on would be a massive improvement to this game in my opinion.

Harmony is a simple game with relatively few rules, reminiscent of older board game classics. To me this game plays like a cross between chess and connect four. Harmony leans into its minimalist aesthetic and is quite relaxing, something about the radial board layout and the way the pieces sound sliding around gives a dreamy almost ethereal atmosphere to each game. This game is best played against another person, either locally or online, I found playing against the computer rather disappointing after having previously played against some friends. To me this game scratches the same itch as tic-tac-toe but with enough complexity to make it an enjoyable challenge when outsmarting your friends. Its simple enough I feel like I could play it with anyone.

Harmony is a well put together strategy game that pushes players to think several steps ahead of their opponent and to outwit them. At first harmony may look difficult however upon loading onto the game there is a brief yet detailed and informative rules section which allows players to understand the concept of the game before playing. The rules section was clear and very understanding allowing a quick grasp on how to play without spending many hours playing through a tutorial. The game play itself is simple and inventive and takes a new take on games like chess. The game is quick to learn but difficult to master allowing players to strive and put hours into this amazing game. This allows the game to be played over and over again and becomes quite addictive after a while. For players wanting a new strategy experience I highly recommend giving this game a try as you yourself may become hooked too !!

A great simple, easy, and addicting game!! It is easy to learn and get the hang of, but still requires thinking and strategizing in order to win! I Also recommend it for people who love board games!

Game design is simple and unique. The bot should have some choice of difficulty to increase competitiveness. I like the familiarity of almost playing tick-tack-toe but mixed in with something more like checkers. Interesting concept and could absolutely be a hit with some revision!!!
