This is seriously mind bending!! Took me a while, but I was pleased to finish (and a nice twist in the last level - no spoilers). It felt really satisfying to work out myself what "adding shapes" means.

BTW, I probably found Washington Monument the hardest, as it was adding it in a way I wasn't expecting .. although I've just spotted it is one of your screenshots, so that would have been a helpful clue at the time!! :)

Well done

Wow, probably the definitive on jam-theme puzzle game. Excellent!

Really fun, game plays well and makes you think.
I think it could do with more tutorial and explanation than it currently gives but I understand that could have been a time limitation. Well done

The goal of the game is to figure out how the sum works by yourself. I tried to structure the first levels (up until the ones where you’re given red and blue) to teach you how it works without telling it. With more time I could’ve probably made it clearer through more tutorialish levels.

The game plays well, however it could use a bit more of an explanation. It was unclear how it all worked. How the points and lines related to the shape

Brilliant! and I love the walkthrough... did I get it right ;) 

Amazing. I'm really interested in the implementation. I'm thinking you go to each vertex of one shape and add to it each of the other shape's vertices? Something around that? Really cool

Developer

(spoilers for the game) it’s not each vertex, it’s each point of the shape, both boundary and interior, but yes, that’s the main idea.

Ah yeah, that makes sense

implementation is here if you’re curious, but beware, in usual jam style the code is slightly spaghetti

I couldn't finish my project in time. Spaghetti code is better than no code :)

Developer

you should still finish it!

Yes! I'll definitely keep working on it. My c++ journey is still in the beginning. Thanks!
