The puzzles were well put together and the concept is pretty nicely done, it's a concept i've seen a lot in the jam though haha

Personally i'm not a fan of using assets in a game jam, I even prefer using squares to create the gameplay better than using assets all the way through

Other than that the game is nicely put together

The presentation is really great and the puzzles are challenging. Very good for 48 hours!

I think this was a good take on the theme. The main things I think that I would like to see is a redo last move button (cause I would accidentally hit the wrong one and would have to restart the level) and a way to more easily discern the grid that Habby and Dabby move on. Sometimes I couldn't tell if there was 1 spot in front of me or 2

Thanks very much for your feedback, I agree with the grid part! :) An undo might make the game too easy though.

Not bad, it was interesting and difficult enough to keep me interested through all five levels, the design is sound but perhaps a bit simple. It fits the theme quite well. Could use some further exploration of this mechanic, maybe some additional twists. Overall it was more fun than I was expecting.

My main complaint about how it is currently is that it’s kind of important to be able to tell exactly how much space there is between all the graphical elements, and which square of the grid they belong to, but with these assets and how they’re arranged it can sometimes be difficult to estimate whether there’s a walkable gap or not. This can sometimes lead the player to be punished for mistakes that feel unfair.

Thank you very much for taking the time to play the game, and I'm happy to hear you liked it. I do agree with the observation that the grids should've been more easily distinguishable. I only realized it when I was testing the levels and was already at the end of the day. Something to keep in mind for next time. :)

I love your art! Good use of theme as well.

I was having a good time. I enjoyed the art and music. My brain stopped working at the later levels. Swell job !

Fun puzzles with a good difficulty curve! Nice job!

Really fun game! I had a great time clearing the levels! Super satisfying to figure out the puzzles! Great job on this!

The theme is clearly joining together and the art is cute. In my opinion, the game idea is a little generic, but still fun. Maybe make it more clear, which objects have collision.

Nice submission though :)
