The gameplay could be polished a little, but the idea is awesome!
I am very bad at it, so I keep trying! Challenging and innovative, hope to see it with better visuals improvements in the future.
The game's concept and design are awesome, though I kept on failing to hit the 50% filled mark nearly every time. Excellent job on the game!
Surprisingly tricky to cover all the area, especially with the odd shaped bunny sponges. It would be helpful to have markers for where I placed sponges before.
very silly
This is such a great example of less is more. So simple but really effective. Amazing job!
Very cute! An interesting take on the theme, while plays simply and intuitively. Good job!
A very interesting take on the theme :) The gameplay was fun, simple and nostaglic! A very unique interactive experience :)
So cool! I was racking my brain each reset to figure out the best spots for the sponges. I really enjoyed the challenge of thinking about how the sponges already placed would grow and how I could balance maximizing their size by not blocking their growth while still placing all of the square sponges I needed to.
Great concept and execution!
Oh neat, actually somewhat this is the first time this jam I saw an idea like this, pretty fun! Might be nice to randomize the initial sponge layout a bit and maybe have other items than square sponges. WebGL version got a bit laggy for me, but admittedly my GPU is kinda horrible, so that might be on my end. Pretty neat overall!
Super creative! 🐇 I feel like this is something a lot of kids did IRL 😊 I liked the scaling aspect a lot.
This was a super fun implementation of the theme, I really liked the game feel and trying to guess where the sponges would fill up the most space.
Congratulations on pacing this at the perfect "I should be better at this" difficulty level that made me play it for way too long
Very cute game, and very impressive job with how polished it feels, especially for a 48 hour dev time, well done!
