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?

Really cool concept! One critique is that many of the levels felt tedious as you had to just continue duplication and it only made little green slimes. Still a nice concept and a cool twist on 2048!

Developer

You're right, the levels can be a bit tedious. This fits perfectly with others' feedback that we should add the ability for slimes of higher stages to be spawned, so we will probably do that for future levels when the jam ends! Thanks!

haha quite challenging but a fun game. Nice!

Developer

Thank you, glad to hear that you like it!

Great puzzle game! Didn't play all of the levels for the sake of time (1-9 then took a peek at 15) but these are some great puzzles that really got my brain working lol The main critique I could give is maybe have a way to get to the higher levels of slimes faster. While some puzzles work really welly going up the whole series, I could see some puzzles getting a bit tedious as you have to make more and more of the higher levels. So maybe some plus squares give a higher level slime, but you could add an X square nearby to make it a bit harder to use.

Developer(+1)

Thanks, that's a really good idea! I agree with you that the levels can be tedious sometimes, and adding the ability for higher levels to spawn from + squares would be a nice, integrated way to fix that!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!

Nice Game.  I liked the graphics and audio

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you like the music, I'm very proud of it!

Nice game. I love the graphics. 

Developer

Thank you! This one of my first times actually doing pixel art so I wasn't sure how it would turn out. :D

The idea and puzzles are great!

Thanks!

Good puzzle game with nice visuals. When you can summon slime, some limit or punish for wasting would be great to makes harder. 

Developer

Ooh, thanks for the feedback! That would be useful for making later levels harder. We got a similar suggestion to add a move limit, would that be the type of thing you're thinking about? Or just a limit for the number of times you can summon?

Great Gameplay.!!

Please try our game.

Thank you so much! I would love to try your game, but I'd rather not download, sorry!

 i had so much fun with this game, i love how you have to control when slimes combine (unlike other games in the jam with similar mechanics), it made me think in nearly every level and surprised me every level. thank you

Developer

Glad to hear that you liked it, Thank YOU!

Some very neat mechanics! My only complaint is that the larger slimes consume the smaller ones. What would be better (in my opinion), is if they would just act as barriers, and only like-for-like slimes can combine. Other than that, great work!

 (P.S. - you should advertise this more, it deserves more ratings)

Developer(+1)

That's a good point, since the consuming mechanic is probably the biggest cause of confusion. We might try that after the jam! About the advertising, hah, thanks for the tip!

Good interesting puzzles

This game is sso good. I love the puzzles and its so challenging. It made a lot of fun. nice work!

Developer

Thanks!

Fun game! I enjoyed the puzzles and how there was a high degree of lenience with the levels. It really helped to add to the fun and light hearted nature of the game. I also enjoyed the sense of discovery with making new slimes with existing slimes. Overall a fun experience! 

Developer

Thank you!

Undo feature would be nice, as high-level silme being deleted by accident would be brutal. Still, it's a good puzzle game with a creative mechanic!

Developer

Thank you! That's a good idea we haven't thought of, and we might add that when the jam is over!

Got to lvl 13. Nice game with even nicer game design, very clever puzzles and cute graphics.

If you have time, check my game too: https://porthogamesbr.itch.io/three-little-friends

Thank you so much! I'll check out your game for sure. :)

I loved this game! It was so much fun! The graphics worked really well and the puzzles were super fun. Well done on this one! By far one of my favourites. 

It would be cool if you could check out my game too and give it a rating. https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/925013

I'm glad you enjoyed it! This is really kind, its our second game jam and this time I think we made a fun game. It makes us happy that you agree! I'm play your game as well :D

Really nice puzzle game.

Graphics, music and sound fit together very well.

The difficulty level increases a bit too fast for my taste.

Maybe some levels where you need less moves, but a bit more planning ahead earlier would be nice.

Completed level 8, didn't try level 9, just because it seems a bit overwhelming on first sight.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! :D

I really love this! The concept is great and you execute it very well. The puzzles are well thought out and I had fun trying to figure them out. One note is that a reference to the slime evolution while playing the stages would be helpful, I found myself forgetting it very quickly.

Developer(+1)

Hmm, thanks for the feedback. In addition to the chart, we also made the slimes in rainbow order starting from green. We will probably add this as another note in the levels after the BGJ. By the way what level did you reach, I'm a bit curious! ^-^

OOOH now that you mention it, it's so obvious! lol I made it to level 9! I

Nice job!!

I don't know why but arrow keys and wasd doesn't work...

Developer

What!? Thats not good, its probably on your end because we had multiple people on multiple platforms test this out. Try refreshing the page? I'm not too sure so I can't help you. Thanks for letting us know though!
