Was this game finished? I tried the version from this archive and it shows some flickering during the gameplay.

Yes there is a bit of flickering, when there is more stuff on screen, because this code was not optimized at the time, since it had to be rushed to the deadline of the compo.

I started the optimization, but it's not finished and hence not available yet.

The game, also has at least 2 known bugs.
1.When the Gods gaze ( horizontal highlight) passes over some pre-matched blocks and they already have block over them, they will no disappear (it leaves a white block in place) but it disappear in the next God gaze pass.
2.When The Totems reach the top, one of the goals of the game, the left 3D rotation is disabled, when it should be enabled.

Everything will be fixed in good time.

Thank you for interest in my game.
