Very cool idea, nice graphics, and excellent memory practice! :) Loved it.
I like that it's a memory game! I've only seen a few of those here, but this one is a bit more challenging.
Good job! d(^u ^ )

Great use of the one room theme to create a challenging memory game. The pandas look nice, although the color variation could be a little more distinct.
Hooray for the pandas.

Lovely graphics, the concept is nice and reminds me good old games. It's requires concentration and is quite fun. Thanks for making this game.

Thanks for the feedback!
@tylerraz you're right about color, what makes it worse is that I forgot to tint the shadows.
The art/design of the game are really cool
This is really fun and looks very cute. At first this was very confusing, because the actual situation makes no sense whatsoever, but as a memory game it is actualy pretty good.
Really great entry! Hi marks for innovation, I've never even heard of Kotlin. Good job making a web game with something different. I loved the panda art!
This is really hard. The combination of place/color/shape is a lot to deal with.
Interesting game but really really difficult. Can't keep up with panda demands. Took me a really long time to figure out what to do, needs instructions on the description.
Very nifty idea, has the potential to made into some bigger with a bit of polish. Nice and fun
Nice idea for the theme. Quite challenging too.

@TeamScripta it's still pretty much the same workflow as with plain Javascript, I just don't have the concentration to deal with a dynamic type system while in a jam :)
@awesomerex there are ways to reduce the cognitive load using the order of items in the inventory. Actually it can even be reduced to memorizing a single color, but that's more of a design oversight on my part than anything :)
@awesomerex you're probably right, I might have placed too much trust into game over messages to explain what's happening.
I didnt understand it at first but i was kinda my fault, i didnt read Lmao. I really liked the gameplay!

I don't understand this game. I don't known what do I need to do if the panda ask something. :(

@ragnta when they say something, it's really just a comment on what should've been done before they enter the room. So if a panda says "what is this X doing here", it means X is someone else's item, and it should've been hidden so that they don't see it, and so on.

Nice use of the theme! I wonder what would the game be like if, instead of just moving items, you had to manage these pandas's sleep, or if you had to camouflage yourself, or avoid two pandas coming to the room at the same time! :P
Nice graphic style too! I really liked the cartoonish style, really fits the game! :) I miss some audio, though. I think that could add even more to the mood of the game! (Like, you hear the next panda mumbling something when close to the room). :)
Controls worked pretty fine and fast for me, but it took me a few rounds to get the whole how the "next panda" thing worked :P
Good work! Cheers!

@alfadur and the items that the panda ask are random generated or It's working in FIFO system? :)

@ragnta well, it's kinda neither, to be precise. Each panda has its own inventory, which is filled randomly at the start of a level (N items for Day N). Each time they come, they might drop some items on the tables, or take some they've dropped previously. Even if they don't take all their belongings back, they still want to see each item on the same table they've placed it on previously. And they never want any items they didn't bring themselves. I was thinking of having them actually ask for new items, but there was no time to implement that.
@yuigoto that's great suggestion on the sound of approaching pandas :D And actually preventing them from meeting each other is something that would add a bit of context to the game setting. If I ever manage to scale it to something more featured, that would be a thing to try out.

Nice game! I liked a lot how you displayed this theme, it's very funny to keep the thing "as it was" so nobody notice, nice idea! Congrats.
This is very very cool. Super clever idea, fits with the theme perfectly, and the execution is nice. It's very difficult, but I feel you could become competent at it with some experience. The perspective rendering effect is neat, too. I'm impressed by the creativity all around!
I really like the mood of the game c: And it looks soo nice even though the graphics are pretty simple. I guess that's because of that interesting perspective effect. Nice job and keep it up :D
Hahaha! Cool. I love that it's pandas (for no particular reason).
Really cool concept!
