Detachment Undone by Gossian
https://youtu.be/j5XZQ7NVAyM
A simple game with hand-painted art and a haunting soundtrack.
Gossian: Art, design, code
Francesco: Music & audio
The mechanics are a little bit basic for now, but hoping to upload a post-jam version soon!
Drag and drop opposing circles together to create larger spiral circles. Continue combining all circles until only one spiral-circle remains. See video for demonstration.
The game is also a riddle - Can you work out what these are the 10 stages of? The clues are in the titles.
UPDATE - Improved responsiveness of the drag-and-drop - Opted back into graphics rating category - Please rate!

One way to improve this game is to add a bit of variety with the moving circles: different colors and designs for each level would go a long way, for example. All in all, an unusual game.
Same thing when I catched one and I try to put it on another spiral. I always have the feeling I put it on the right place, and very often they do not merge.
Very frustrating.
Beautiful graphics, but that's the only interest of this game. Sorry.
The dragging didn't work so well though. Tweaking the dragging so it responds well and maybe some effects on hover, click and drop would make the game feel a lot more engaging.
Edit: also, just wondering, why did you opt out of the graphics category if the game description mentions "hand-painted art"?
But yes, mechanics and gamefeel need work for sure!
Beautiful backgrounds, contemplative music. Relaxing entry in sum
That's too bad that you opted out of graphics because graphics and audios are definitely the strong points of the game ! Keep it up :)

Thanks for all your comments! Some really useful insights there and also some interesting references!
I've improved the responsiveness of the click and drag functionality and now I'm getting around to refining the rest.
Also managed to opt back into graphics, so it's finally possible to vote on the graphics!
Thanks again!
