Really hard to pull off a game like this at all (arcade-y build-y roguelike-y, whatever Balatro and Nubby's are), let alone for a jam- this is very very cool! Quite a bit of replayability and a bunch of builds already.
The whole idea is super fun, super cute, and I love the little aliens and their names and their descriptions- the game just made me happy to play :))) If this is a prototype as the main game page says, I would love to play the full version! I love you Fleep the Joyous ❤️
The controls for creating a connection can get a little difficult with clicking back and forth, potentially could be changed a bit? Maybe right-clicking creates connections rather than left or something, not too sure. It didn't hurt my experience very much, just made it a bit annoying when I clicked one too many times lol.
This is really really good, overall! Can definitely see myself coming back here to spread more joy among more aliens :)))
