Fun game, fun concept! Enjoyed the music and art as well. Got chaotic even on easy mode!

fyi, I wasn't able to play in the browser, so I pulled it down from Google Play Store.

This is super cute! Would love to see a longer version! Following you just in case you expand it later ^_^

I appreciate it, though I don't plan on updating this version. I have however made a slightly more expanded version (with 3 difficulty modes and some rebalancing of the elements), which is available on Google Play store. You can find a link to it on the game's page.

Submitted

Awesome, thanks!

nice pixel art.
good luck man..

Submitted

I like the concept! Maybe I would have made the screen size smaller because of the style of the sprite and unless I muted the browser I missed sounds effects. But overall good entry!

Submitted

Love the sprites - My natural inclination is to place 3 in a row… which is a risky move, but maybe there’s a payoff for doing so? Like a global heal for everyone? Very well done!

Submitted

Pretty cool concept! I would love to see it expanded upon!

I really love the whole monster sneezing on one another situation, really nice concept!  I hope you will expand your concept after the jam, I would love to play it again. Great job!

Submitted

Cute concept! Was definitely confused because i didn't read the whole description, but i think the idea is really fun. I wish there was some guide for weakness because i can't remember them very well,,,

Submitted

Cool concept! I like the puzzle nature of it. Though it's a little hard to know the elements characters attack and are weak to, and once you place them there's no way to know them (you have to remember or look at the particles). I really enjoyed this one!

I love the pixel art and its a neat concept! I was a little lost and was not sure what characters were which element till I placed them. Still a cool concept though! Also felt very chaotic!

Submitted

It was really difficult to understand what was happening and how to play the game but I think you have a really good concept going! Maybe if you had more time you could add some QoL changes!

Submitted

A bit difficult to read at the right part of the screen but the concept is interesting. I think some clues in game could help to indicate if everything is alright or not. Or maybe I missed it :p

Maybe a different healing timer or emergency could add some challenge/strategy too. Nice job!

Submitted

I like the concept of the game! But it's hard to remember all the combinations.

Submitted

I really like the concept of the game, it's really unique. Also a bit easy, once you figure it out (There doesn't seem to be an escalation)

The main problem of the game comes to the graphics, they are noisy and blend in with the background. This makes the game more chaotic but not in a good way, since the game is already chaotic.

It's alright

Submitted

I really liked this game! The graphics were super cute and the gameplay was fun and glitch free! It was very chaotic, especially because I couldn't remember any of the weakness (‘~`;).

All in all, very fun, would play again!

Submitted

Really loved the concept, but I couldn't play it, the WebGL port was too broken :(((((

Submitted

A very good game, although it was difficult keeping track of what the creatures were weak to and what they spread. Maybe a little pop-up when you hover over them that displays a mini version of the little chart.

Developer

Good point. I'm planning on putting some more work into this game and releasing it as a mobile app, so I'll definitely try to include something like this in that version.

Submitted

Nice effort, I can definitely see the concept you were putting together. It's hard to bring all the elements together in such a short amount of time. 

Definitely worth expanding on this post jam!
