Very cool concept! It's like in real life. If you get too close, you get exposed to emotion, which can hurt :D But if you stay too far away from others, you just fade away!! And yes, if you want to avoid spamming as I did during the stream, a cooldown could work, or maybe an area that was pressed cannot be pressed again. There are solutions, but still, a nice concept!

Pretty good concept and a small fun game.

Those villagers just can't get enough of themselves, they want to be together whatever it takes!

Congratulations on the game in pure HTML. It has much merit.

Fells like nogrid conway’s game of life. Also wish to have score, that depends on difficulty & villagers alive

Nice little game that implements interesting gameplay. Good job!
