Really cool idea, not seen anything else quite like this!
The perfect kind of game for a game jam, simple to understand, not time-consuming, charming, and most importantly creative and fun!
Kinda makes me feel bad that my random attempts were better than my thought-out attempts, overall I got 52% after 7 tries.
I feel like having 1 or 2 fewer sponges would allow you to reach some higher scores but the added difficulty that comes from having to place more sponges is not something I'd be afraid of.
Thankfully my team and I didn't go for a packing problem game like I initially suggested. It would have been hard to compete with your game.
Interesting take on the theme, a little bit hard with soo many sponges but in general a great entry for the jam, Well Done.
I like the sponge sound. I think it's a bit hard for the first try with that many sponges. And I only got to 50% with placing them randomly and not with thinking about it. xD Some more different settings with less sponges would have been nice. Overall I liked it. :)
Unfortunate that only the cube and rabbit sponges were working in time, but this is an incredibly creative take on the theme!

Love the idea - would be nice to be able to mess around with fewer sponges to start to get a better feel for how the mechanic works, with 10 sponges right off the bat it's hard to strategize without just replaying a bunch.
Glad to see I wasn't the only one these weird little spongy animals left a big impression on.
I found the game very difficult but it's a very smart premise.
It took a while for me to understand what was happening. Nice sponges.

Really cool game idea, could see myself playing a full puzzle version of this game.
Super intriguing. Would be cool to see what the max percentage is/how you achieve it.
It's cute but not very interesting to play
This is such a fun and unique idea!
