How does your game fit the theme?
A pearl in Abyss is an RTS tower defense game similar to Plants vs Zombies, but unlike PvZ, here you can join items on adjacent platforms in order to boost your attributes such as defense. You can join the items similar to jigsaw puzzle. However, joining many platforms together may not be the best strategy since it makes all the items in the joined cluster very vulnerable. Hence, the gameplay involves choosing the right move at the right point.

This was such a chill little puzzle game that I can see myself playing on my phone on my commute. I liked the drag-and-drop easy controls, the nature of the puzzle pieces to connect to one another instead of just dropping them in wherever, and the super cute fish art. I only wish there was music or sound effects (or maybe there were, and I just couldn't hear them in the browser version).
By the way, we played your game on our stream tonight!
OMG, Thank you so much! It's always lovely to see your game being played by people full of energy and excitement.
I do agree about the sounds, I wanted to add many SFX and ambient music into the game, but couldn't.
I was originally not certain if the game was worthy for PlayStore since there are already so many similar games in this genre, but you reassured me. I'll consider developing it further *but after my current game's release. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
that's really nice idea of combining jigsaw puzzle and using it for protection! very lovely game, i enjoyed it!
(maybe add a comment that it should be played full screen - because on the small screen i saw only the field for puzzles and thought that it is all and couldn't understand what to do)
I had mentioned that in the install instructions section. I will add that detail in info section as well.
Thank you!
