This is my first Ludum Dare Game Jam and second Game Jam done overall (if you count my last jam where my pc corrupted the project at the very end O_O)
Feedback very much appreciated!


Overall, very nice game! I liked it.
Huge fan! It was fun :D
I made too many missclicks to go any further, but i think i can say i played quite a bit :D
Great game, really like the gameplay and love the cute art! Well done!
But it was fun game overall and it was engaging to see what the art for the next new piece will be
It's not possible to ascend-merge the green pig right? If you tell me it is I will stay awake all night matching in my head
Quite fun, I may have spent... 15min playing? It's been fun to come up with strategies. I don't think I would play more / again, but I've quite enjoyed the mechanic of "the spot you place the piece in a way that combos is where the resulting piece will end". And the mechanic of having the different animals require different shapes.
I found it quite intuitive, like other people point out. Maybe what I didn't find so intuitive is that if you join up more pieces than you need for the combo, it consumes all of them. I was expecting it to only consume the ones that make up the shape, leaving some pieces behind.
Thank you for sharing <3

The slow movement of the icon while dragging was a bit much. Made me a bit impatient when placing them. Other than that, well done!
Great work!
Its Purrfect :kissing_cat:
Its a Meowsterpiece :smirk_cat:
Your effort is truely nothing to scratch at :joy_cat:
Ok, Ill leave now :kissing_cat:
I had to just rip myself away from it, super addicting!
Will probably return to this in the future!
Good job!
Casual and fun!
Got 29250 points, very fun, cute and calming game :3
Took me a while to understand where the "fusion"/new piece would appear, but after understanding it, the game feels a lot more complex. Then when I think I'm doing well, I place one wrong piece without thinking too much and it ruins the whole progress (that's what i get for not paying attention)
If i would fix anything about the game, it would be the pigs. I think there is no way to fusion 4 of the advanced pigs to clear room, so they keep pining on until theres no space to do anything else
The visuals are very cute too! and thats my high score .. i don't think i will ever do any better than this

Placing a duck in the empty spot would clear all 4 :)
The gameplay -- eliminating items by rationally arranging the placement of different animals on the board -- is easy to understand and at the same time has interesting strategy and decent playability.
However, the game doesn't seem to state that adjacent items that don't meet the elimination conditions will also be eliminated when the elimination conditions are met, which made me initially think it was a bug, but it seems like it's be part of the design.
In conclusion, it's a relaxing puzzle game well worth playing!
turns out its quite addicting
The game was confusing initially though. Combo feel like its something extra, not the core gameplay, so it took us a while to click that big flashy button. Of course after that, the game made sense and was loads of fun!
Congrats on the entry!
A good game on Catty.

What a game! Loved every second.
Don't get me wrong, it looks cute and clearly other people have figured it out and enjoyed it, but it feels very unintuitive to me and I gave up playing.
The purple hats rekt me haha
I didn't find bugs, but I did become addicted XD
I will continue playing for more points.
THANK YOU and congratulations

It feels polished in every way, with really nice graphics and top-notch playability — even if it's simpler to reach that with a board/puzzle game like this than with a platformer or something like that, it's still great if the game feels fun. Great job!

It's so simple at first, and then the "oh no" moment kicks in once you realize that you're stuck with your placements forever. Brilliantly designed, and really well executed. Great job!

I want to share my strategy here. It might no be the best but it is stable.

We can prove that the pigs cannot play infinitely, since one can never have a new green pig next to an existing green pig (because the opposite block must be pink and purple at the same time, which is impossible).
And we have the strategy to play cats and ducks infinitely, within limited area. It might not be the smallest area though.
Then we can save all the other blocks for pigs, and try our best to delay the unavoidable pig-end. XD
My main gripe is that the 4 green pigs combo is literally mathematically impossible :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Really impressive for a compo! Would have been nice with some music and some UX changes (a better way to see all the combos, not allowing you to drop the current piece on tiles which it won't "register", etc)
Amazing entry overall!

very cute animals :) just a note: maybe keep the feet for lv1 pigs as it is for ducks and cats.
Great job
It's simple but I like it, it's pretty addicting and
All I could think of is that I wish there would be some music, it would help
Good entry!!

Realy fun to play, thank you for this game :heart:
Congrats!
Super addicting, spent more time playing than I'd like to admit! Thoroughly enjoyed that, well done on making such a fun game!
I returned, just to beat my high score. I challenge ANYONE to beat my score ;)
Very addictive, thank you :D
Definitely some room for improvement so I'll have to try again at some point!
You were an impressive opponent (Seriously though great work on getting 2 mil!)


Otherwise really neat twist on these kinds of games.
Well done!
