This reminds me of Lunar Pool, somehow?
Something about unconventional tables...

It's similar, but I've made strides to improve the basic gameplay formula, and include extras which improve the replay value over that concept.

I've removed the idea of a lives system from the game, so instead, the game plays a lot more like traditional casual titles for mobile. You need to unlock levels as you play through, and can start at any level you've previously beaten.

nice!

I've switched away from MMF2 permanently, after unresolvable memory leak problems in FaeSaga. My maploader (the devchain for which took a year to develop!) was not releasing resources on frame change, and pleas to the developers to resolve the issue (probably something to do with how background pasting interacted with plugins) went unresolved. Whatever I was doing was making MMF go completely unstable after running for long enough, and I didn't see a reliable path for the codebase to come to completion in a timely manner, so I had to put it aside for another day :(

I've switched instead to Monkey ( https://www.monkeycoder.co.nz ), which has its own platform-specific issues, but they can be worked around a lot easier than problems in MMF can. Its syntax also resembles Visual Basic.NET, which I'm more familiar with than any other language. Transitioning took about a month to get up to speed, and with the right IDE, it is quite comfortable to code in. It also makes it a snap to target a bunch of platforms at once, although the number of modules/libs available for it right now are small. I hope to make libmodplug wrappers for all the target platforms one of these days >w>

Anyway, even for a high-level language like Monkey, you will find yourself cursing and swearing a bit when you have to work close to the metal to deal with limitations of some of the platforms. Things like object instantiation / resource allocation are hidden traps which will cause you major headaches down the road on mobile platforms. Curse you, Dalvik GC! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems, as Homer would say.

by the way, right before I stopped doing MMF stuff, I made one last release to the clickteam forums, a prototype of elastic ball collision physics between objects of the same type in MMF, a rather sticky problem seeing as MMF doesn't have a straightforward method for focusing on doing separate actions on 2 of the same type of object in one event! The solution to the problem might have some use to people who plan on sticking with MMF. I wish I could say the same for my Surface-based tile engine ;w;

You still need to spread a value among all objects and do a compare. I used a nested fastloop to compare the objects against themselves. Basically, the outer loop runs through each object based on the spread value for the first comparison object (except the last one), while the inner loop checks every object AFTER it for the second comparison object. This way, you get every possible combination of objects with no repeats.

Huge pain in the ass :D

I have neither a smartphone nor a tablet, but I must say that it's looking pretty sharp so far! It looks like you've plugged a lot into this project and I bet I'd have fun playing it upon completion.
