I started out trying to match pairs carefully but honestly degenerated into just bodging things together quickly to see what happened. Well done!

This was actually good fun! I was surprised that a matching game was so engaging. So I agree with Wekepewpew that I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do at the start. I wanted to know what the small pictures meant with food and other things. But I guessed that the only important part was the shape and whether people fit together, so that's what I focused on and it seemed to work.

So well done fellow first timers!

Liked the idea. 

But i had no clue what I was doing other then slamming shapes together xD Also I have no clue what happened in the updates panel, no time to read there.

I feel the speed made me miss a lot of stuff which is probably what would make it really engaging.

I agree with AJ08Coder - the game didn't feel like it rewarded me for correctly joining matching people together, or punished me for matching incompatible people. I ended up just looking at the shapes and getting them offscreen. There is probably a bit too much to keep track of - numbers on completed matches, time expiring on the cards, etc. I would recommend rethinking how to display this information to players - the simplification of the green vs red interests was a great idea in line with this approach!

Overall, well done. It is quite an original take on the theme, I think!

The idea's pretty unique but I feel like there's a bit too much going to keep track of

Very cool concept! And I love the clean style. I felt a huge sense of urgency as I struggled to find matches, and that's without any music! Well done! (But imagine if it had an energetic soundtrack!)

Nice game! I kinda just randomly put people together though :)
