This game has such a cool aesthetic and I wish I wasn't so bad at it ;-; I got some loops to live for a very long time but whenever I tried to add in a different colour it would die immediately. At some points I wished I could select the colour I was drawing but I guess that's part of the difficulty. Really cool concept either way!

I wanted the colors to loop, as it fit the theme for the game jam more. And also, because it would force you to plan a little.
Trying to add shapes: for any loop there will be one shape which keeps it alive, one shape which it will absorb and have loop as well, and one shape which will hurt it. It is possible to draw the loops in such a way that you could get a positive feedback loop going over them. That's the puzzle part. I admit, it had to click for me too; at first it was just a mess of flying shapes. :-)
Thanks for playing!
