Thanks for playing!
I think especially merges with the pawn could be a future improvement as you say.

I personally think what made it hard is that the figures have a specific shader which, as of now, doesn't support shadows on the object which makes it very very hard to see and that's basically the reason we had to add the extra text in the top right corner.

Also maybe you should check the game I have collaborated on: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2021/rate/1084061 whenever you can 👍

Thank you for all your interesing idea. If we keep working on this, I think we would probably take some of those ideas into account. The unmerging idea already came while playing but was not being done because of the time constraints and the already pretty bad code base. I think I'll personally take a little break from the jam but I'll try to play your game because of the critical and kind feedback.

Thanks for the kind feedback. The mergable pieces are now explained on the main page of this game. We actually found the bug like 30 mins before release but it's only a visual bug and we were already pretty exhausted, that's why we cared less for this bug, though in a more polished version it should be fixed.
