Befriend sound caught me off guard! Haha! The idea is neat, I would never come with something like that. Have you used something specific to allow certain locations for generation?

On the contrary, simple jogging around can be a bit tedious, even with random generation. Maybe, combining with 3-in-a-row puzzler, where friends got to be close to each other or platformer would fit better here? Dunno, and probably that would be a different game!

I created a separate tilemap that is hidden from view where I manually placed tiles around the map, then when the level starts it reads that hidden tilemap to get all possible positions, then randomly picks 21 of those locations. I found that if placement was completely random the NPCs would sometimes clump together or be too far apart

Yippee! Very fun and simple game, enjoyed the sound effects and has growing theme on a multiple levels growing friends group as well with memorising where everything is!

Very cute! I think my 9 year old daughter would love this. Loved the sound effects too, and the way the player grows huge when you win!

Very cute concept, it's sort of like a match memory game, but with a neat twist. I wish my friends would follow me around though!

Fun little game! Could use some more sounds and polish, but very cute, and that ending really got me lol.
