The art style is great, movement is good and level design is good.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
When characters combine, they will have a burst of strength.
Edit: We have gotten a lot of feedback that the music is repetitive, it can be turned off through options in the main menu
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Awesome game!
1. Well designed puzzle. The mechanic is really easy to understand without many words. Simple control yet challenging levels.
2. Complete user interface. It is quite interesting that many puzzle games I played in this Game Jam are not showing which level I am at, but you certainly got every information I need in your game.
3. I saw many mentioned that the music is a bit repetitive. Instead of creating more patterns or more tracks for the piece, another easy trick is to widen its dynamic range in any audio editing software. I really like the tone of your track and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere you've created. To me, the track is more like a bit too loud and too flat.
Again, great game!
Great game! Well made puzzles, not easy, but not extremely hard.
Cool mechanics. Found no bug nor problem with the control. Everything works perfect during the 24 levels.
Should definitely do more levels after the jam!
My only critic comes with the music. Very simple and short, which turns very repetitive, hence annoying after several levels. Maybe add some variation or a few more simple extra track to avoid becoming repetitive.
You did a great job! Congratulations!
Please, if you can, check mine :)
Thank you so much for playing through all of the levels! It's kind of a miracle that there are no bugs since the code is such a mess. Out of curiosity, how long did it take you? Also, yes, the music is definitely repetitive, and I will be recomposing for a future version (it's basically priority 1). For now tho, you can just turn off music via the options in the main menu. I'll check out your game, it looks really interesting :)
Summary
Made it to Level 12 (which was an accomplishment after being stuck on 10 I think for a good while)
Things I Liked:
- Options Menu
- Could use WSAD or Arrow Keys to Move!
- Puzzle were well-designed
- Lots of levels!
Things I Didn't Like:
- Music was a bit too repetitive
So-So:
- Theme connection was okay, I mean, half the puzzles you're not merging, sometimes one isn't doing anything
Closing
Overall, a very nice entry! I had fun, even stuck around a bit after retrying one of the puzzles at least 10 times, finally getting and moving on before getting stuck again. Which a few difficultly balance tweaks, new music, new art, this could potentially be a nice little release!
Thank you for all the feedback! Also nice job making it that far, this is not an easy game. Do feel free to skip levels, if you're interested in playing a bit more (my personal favorites are the last four, but they're also the hardest ones so beware). I agree that the music is quite repetitive, hopefully we'll have a better one in a future version of this game.
A great little puzzle game. Definitely had too use my brain. The music was a little bit repetitive but other than that I would love to see this game get expanded upon with more mechanics. Great job!!!
Very cool game indeed, I also made a (quite overly-complicated) puzzler. I loved the amount of content and the difficulty is quite nice, but the music could have been better. Overall, still, it's definitely one of the best games from this jam.
A clever concept, a bit repetitive, but it has a great potential! keep the good work.
A fun little puzzle game with a simple and clever mechanic, had fun playing it. Impressive work fro a seven day Jam !
A clever and cute puzzle game. The puzzles proved challenging and well thought out. A fun game!
Loved the game!
Its so good! Wierd how it doesn't have much ratings this is definitely one of the underappreciated games!
The puzzles are challenging yet just the right amount of difficulty!
10/10 game!
Hey, nice approach to puzzles! I gave it a pretty good review ;) The only thing I felt is missing is speed with which chests are controlled. I would allow way bigger moving speed so it is fast paced.
Wow. this game is so good! I can't believe it doesn't have over 30 ratings!
The game is nice, the game is hard. Level design - awesome. streamed
I love it! The puzzles are very challenging and they present the mechanics bit by bit. Strongly recommend this game!
