Tried clicking them, using the keyboard and some other random stuff before I figured it out. Maybe showing a quick message when the game starts (like "drag a portrait to move") would help people out.\r\rColor coding each character and their food was a great idea, it helps figuring out what goes where much quicker than thinking about the theme behind each of them. Making the difference in colors more evident probably wouldn't hurt though.\r\rThis is the sort of gameplay that would probably work on a touch screen. Add a couple of levels with gimmicks and some better graphics and you have a pretty decent mobile game :)"},{"author_name":"Elenesski","author_uid":"57748","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 9:59pm","epoch":1440453240,"text":"I couldn't get it to work.

To be fair this is a fairly solid game for a "jampo" entry (my game is also a jam-compo entry. jampo should be a thing. Can we make it a thing?
