In what way does your game fit the theme?
In this game, you can merge slimes together to form later stages of slime. This fits the theme "stronger together", as we are implying that the slimes become stronger when merged together.
In addition, the controls for all slimes are tied together, while it is evident that the player can exercise strong control over the slimes.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?

Thank you so much! Me and @viv29 we're actually in disagreement over the movement speed, I wanted to have it faster and he wanted it slower. I guess I have the unpopular opinion! We will definitely tweak that. An idea I had would be to have the movement be very snappy, but have a delay between moves when holding down the key, I wonder what you think about that? About level 15, we thought it might be a little too hard, so we've already made changes to it for after the jam! It's really cool that your game is so similar to ours! I would play it, but I'm only playing browser games, sorry! Looking at the screenshots, the art looks very nice.
Thank you!
Level 5 is actually a confusing point for many, which unfortunately slipped through playtesting! We definitely need to add more tooltips/hints to it. One of the game mechanics isn't well explained, which leads people to get stuck on the level: If two slimes of different type touch, they will not combine to form a new color! You will only get the stronger type of slime. For example, if a green slime and a blue slime touch, the resulting slime will still be blue, and the green slime will simply disappear! Because of this, you need to be careful not to let slimes of different types touch, otherwise you will end up "losing" a slime and won't have enough to make the purple one.

Thank you! I'm happy that you liked it, good to know that you like the music!
I would definitely play your game, but I'm only playing web games. So sorry! From the description, it sounds very fun!
Ok, this is as far i can go on the last level... pass through all of them... but this one, just can't figure out the top 2. Retry several times with different approaches, and this one was the best result, except for the fact that it becomes impossible to fit the to upper slimes without moving the other (angel and devil?)
The game is fun and engaging. Maybe the music too short and repetitive, but it's nice... I realize I was humming while having dinner... so it's not bad, it's really catchy... but after several minutes trying that last hellish level, turns out very repetitive.
You did a great job! Congratulations!

Thanks a lot! We made the last level way too hard and even have trouble winning it ourselves, but I'd say you are the first person to come that close to beating it so great job! I totally agree with you that the music is catchy, @citrus-melon did a great job on it. Thanks for all the feedback, I'll take a look at your game. :D

Aww thanks a lot! It was my first time trying a pixel art style for a game. And I agree: We will probably add a "undo button" and add more levels and make it a commercial game postjam.
