I enjoyed it, pretty cool! but as some other people commented that the intro cutscene is unskippable and yeah I don't like that. But it's got a epic menu art and good job for you guys! Maybe just skip a dialogue by left clicking ? (no need to skip the whole cutscene in case someone still doesn't understand what todo).
Yes, after the jam is over, there will be an update which makes the dialogue skippable... Thanks for playing!
Nicely done arts and music. The premise is a little simplistic and I thought the professor should not go through the intro in each retry. But this is cool and the DARUDE SANDSTORM gives it an instant plus!
Thanks for the video! Yes, after the jam, we will update the game so you can skip the professor's dialogue... Thanks for playing!
Cool game! I enjoyed the fast paced nature of it and could feel the pressure of trying to keep up with what was being requested. I thought all of the combinations made sense but were pretty funny. Who knew an airplane is just metal plus wind? That gave me a good laugh. Overall a really fun game!
Thanks for playing! Yes, it's 100% real, if you take a piece of metal and throw it to the air, it suddenly transforms into a plane! Try it! :D
Really cool game, good job.
Pretty good game! The music, art and UI are all perfect, however I do wish I could skip the intro cutscene. Overall though, pretty good game. Simplistic and easy to start up.
Skipping the dialogue will be available after the jam is over... Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!
Great concept, great theme implementation and great art (especially UI)! Only wish I could skip the intro dialogue.
Skipping the dialogue will be available once the jam is over... Thanks for playing!
This game is really fun! the only thing I would suggest is to make a quit button, so closing the game is easier. Otherwise, really super fun game!
The quit button is on the main menu... We thought that in a game like this a pause menu would be bad for the pace... Thanks for playing!
Very fun game overall. I love the pixelated graphics and the music goes well with the artstyle. It was a good twist on the jam's theme. The only thing was I didn't realize that you could unselect and reselect other materials in the time, maybe add that somewhere in the instructions. I would also make it so you could skip the initial dialogue so players can get right back to the gain after messing up. Otherwise I enjoyed playing it on stream! Great job!
Select/Deselect is on the how to play menu, you didn't see it I guess :P. For the skippable dialogue, yes, it will be live once the jam ends... Thanks for playing!
I suck at this game. Annoying to wait professor's speach every time.
Sad you didn't like it that much... Yeah, scientist's speech is going to be skippable after the jam... Thanks for playing!
Hey, dont worry:) everything is cool!
This is an really cool game! The concept is pretty cool, the artstyle is great and the soundtrack is just sooo awesome!
Thanks for playing!
The UI and main menu is so well done, polished and unique! Very unique aswell with the approach to the theme. Quite challenging aswell to figure out what materials are needed to make the thing. Good game overall

Thanks for playing! Appreciate it! :)
UI menu is great!
Thanks!
fast simple fun. A really great game. the professor talking at the start of every retry gets kinda annoying....buuuut a bilion bonus points for sandstorm^^
First mention to the sandstorm thing :D Glad you had fun! Yeah, we will update the game making the scientist conversation skippable... Thanks for playing!
I found it hard to tell which two objects can be merge to become the objective object. I think is better to tell the player first how it work first, tbh. The art and background music is nice. Well done.
There lies the "difficulty" of the game. In the how to play menu it is explained, and also in the dialog of the scientist, he precisely says "Merge 2 Components"... Thanks for playing!
Interesting concept!
The introduction time is too long.
Yeah, one of the things we want to change is making the intro skippable... Thanks for playing! Appreacite the feedback :)
I love the pixel art! It looks amazing! (heres my game bytheway would love it if you rate it!) Rate Two Squares Are Better Than One by GrowingTurtle54 for Brackeys Game Jam 2021.1 - itch.io
A game that works very well with the theme and is also fun! Everything is correct to very good: the sound design that puts you in the mood and gives dynamism to the game, the game design is super efficient, the art direction is consistent! An addictive and very interesting game!
Great job!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it ^^
Pretty good game, everything is well made, thumbs up!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Simple and fun game with a pretty nice style. The time limit really forces you to think fast, which makes it more exciting and interesting. My one criticism would be to deselect all buttons when a third one is selected, since being able to select more than one confused me in the beginning.
Putting that on our list of things we should consider... Thanks for playing!
Such a cool game and it matches the theme as well. Loved it...
Thanks for playing!
