How does your game fit the theme?
Our games fits in two ways: First the controls for both the player and enemies are joined together, whenever you make an input the enemies move to mirror that input, as well as your own characters. Second, the nesting dolls literally join together to get bigger, and can be "split apart" to solve tricky puzzles.

This is so much fun! Such a simple idea and you have made something amazing with it! There are some levels at the very beginning that looked impossible, but thankfully you're able to restart/regenerate them easy enough.

The music is great, the dolls look gorgeous and I just couldn't stop playing, even when I wanted to ("One more level"). Eating up other dolls is so satisfying. Very well done, fantastic job!

This game is so much fun :)

It's visually appealing, has great music and really satisfying sounds :) At first I thought it was a puzzlegame with premade levels, which is why I spent 10 minutes on an impossible level. Then I left, only to find that it reset me back to level 1. Thus I realized that the levels I had been playing were randomly generated :) I think having a level editor would be absolutely phenomenalin this game, because you could make some intersting and challenging puzzles with these mechanics.

All in all, a really great game that is appealing both in gameplay, visuals and sound :)
