The More the Merrier

Great game with solid mechanics. I had fun playing this, so good job!

Here's a couple of things to take note of: - The levels became pretty challenging because although you show the number of passengers left, you don't show what type they are. This can lead to some pretty difficult situations, which in my opinion, feels a bit unfair. - Stacking the characters poorly can lead to impossible scenarios where the player gets stuck in the placement screen. Maybe you could force failure if this happens?

Overall, it's a fun little game with stable mechanics. Good job on this one.

(Here's what I mean by an impossible situation, where the last character I had to place was the grouchy one): example.jpg

This is really a so great idea! One of the best use of the theme so far, really well done =)

The game is really fun and acomplishes the theme on a interesting level. Good entry.

This was a really fun game! Had a blast trying to pile the passengers, and laughed too much when the boat sank or got damaged. What I missed was some way to check the next passengers, not all of them but maybe the next 2 our 3 while putting one. Just guessing where to put the passengers is fun at first but then gets way too simple.

But overall I had so much fun and the game does fit the theme really nicely! Congratulations :)

Loved this one. Amazing art and music is great too. Unluckily you have to start completely over when you crash your boat, that threw away all my motivation to retry :( But in total extremely polished and well made. top entry!

I think it's a bit unfair that you cannot see which passengers are still coming (or even just the next one as in tetris). Other than that the game is fun, funny and fits the theme. Well done!

Great game! Would be nice if you could see all passengers before you placed them, so you can plan your placement. Great art!

Beautiful graphics, great font choice, and polished looks all around. It's really funny how you can stack these humans. Would be a bit better if they didn't keep walking all the time though ;)

The music does help spice things up, well chosen even if you didn't make it yourself.

Fun and interesting mechanic. I disagree with those who say that you should see the queue of passengers: much of the fun (like in Tetris) comes from having to take into account all possible future scenarios.

Maybe you could explicitly point out the Skip button in the tutorial, because some people seem to have overlooked it :) It's a bit bugged though: sometimes it makes the next passenger show up with red Xs through their body, or intersecting with another passenger.

Got 3400 points by the way. Would be nice if there was a way to retry a level from the beginning, rather than having to start all over again.

Very interesting take on the classic tetris mechanic. I loved the little personality quirks of some of the passengers. The graphics look great as well.

A very fun and super well made puzzle game. For me one of the best games for this LD. Well done.

Very clever and interesting.

I loved this game, the idea is simple, placing passengers this way is hilarious, and the game is really well made. I would have loved if there was some kind of detection of "impossible to place" passengers as a last polish touch (instead of letting the player try everything before hitting a button), but the already present polish is still incredible.

Oh, and by the way, your Linux build worked flawlessly here (Archlinux, Nvidia card and drivers)
