This is fun and I an see myself losing a lot of time getting lost in the sauce and playing it. Maybe my eyesight is bad but it was a little difficult to read the smaller faces as I got bigger.

So simple, but refreshing and cute. Well done !

Congratulations on the finished game

The idea sounds interesting

There are 2 factors in the game that make life difficult for the player and it seems to me that only one of them works well now

1) the game constantly makes you look for a new face - this is interesting and makes you actively look for your twin in the crowd

2) due to the fact that the player grows in size, it becomes almost impossible to get to your twin, who constantly hangs out in the company of the same small creatures - the arena is small and you can't get around the crowd from any side, which makes the game very offensive and unfair after 2 successful merges

My suggestions for solving the second problem could be - hard collisions for creatures so that they do not pass through each other and move in predictable bouncing trajectories, so the player can calculate how the situation will look in a couple of seconds

And also make the arena bigger, now there is little space very quickly

Maybe renew all the player's lives after each merge? As a reward

It would indeed work well as .io game. It’s a little confusing at first what the exact rules are but one figures it out real quick. Other than needing more juice it’s a solid entry. I wonder if turn-based would work 🤔

I completely agree with the comment below—this design is truly elegant. Excellent work on this entry! To enhance it further, I’d suggest balancing the gameplay to ensure the player can achieve at least 6-8 merges. I found it a bit challenging at times, but overall, it's a fantastic entry. Well done!

This is actually a really elegant design and I could definitely see this working as a .io title (assuming it isn't one already). Great theming and perfect scope for the jam.
I wish there was a bit more polish and style to it. Movement feels very stiff
edit: also please add WASD controls in future games. Laptop players will thank you

Super cute, super fun, super addictive. Great game to satisfy your competitive side! Looking forward to more!

Could use a bit more UI polish, but I love the concept and difficulty curve.

cool idea! like some others said, it's simple yet fun, and there's a nice play of difficulty there with being good making it harder

though I have to agree you do get some periods of downtime where you can't really do much about your situation. perhaps it could be a good idea to randomly switch the player every now and then (with a good telegraph, of course), just so you get a new objective

being your first game, you have something really good on your hands! keep it up

Simple yet fun

Damn that was addictive!!! Though it becames a little tedious when your pair is on the other side of the screen and you have to wait so much until you get a clear path.  Also I assume it is a bug but the fullscreen doesn't fill the scren (at least with Firefox and Chrome). But overall it is a really interest mechanic that the better you play the bigger you get and it becames more difficult.

Nice simple game which is easy to understand but surprisingly engaging. I like how it gets more tense as you increase in size and need to squeeze past more gaps. Great art and cute music!
Really well done! :)

Great work, thoroughly enjoyed it! 5/5! Please rate mine when you have a chance!
