Cool game, although struggled to understand what elements countered what. With no key or clear indication it's kinda difficult
Nice little game, once you understand the mechanic it becomes trivial.
I liked the art and the music. How did you get those fluid animations, they look slick. Especially the transitions between states.
This is a cool concept. How did you manage to parse the drawing into something to spawn?
The music was cool and fitting. Idk if the grainy affect was purposeful. I also couldn't really tell if the monsters were doing anything? It seems if you spawn the same type against each other they just walk into each other
I think there's a decent idea here to be fleshed out. There currently seems to be no strategy other than spam left click. I seemed to cover 90% of the area when I did that. Otherwise a decent start to a potential game. The art was pretty cool and consistent. The audio was good too.
Idk if this is a Ludum Dare thing, but the game crops out at the top of the page. Maybe hosting externally might be better?
Nice infuriating and addicting game. Good job. Would like to see a full version
I liked the premise, but was confused with what each block(s) did?
It wasn't very clear, maybe a little popup before hand to tell you what each thing is, or titles and descriptions for each object?
This game was great, a bit laggy like others have noted but nothing game breaking.
A solid foundation to build off of, would be interested in a full release. Has some great potential.
Nerdy side note: Did you take a Cellular Automata approach for the cells and firespread?
A good foundation for an interesting game. Fits the theme very well, and the music adds to the rushing/clostraphobic nature of the game. I think a few puzzles for each floor, or way to decrease the flow would be a good start.
It also felt like I was never in any real danger unless I stopped moving. Maybe there's a trade of for loss of oxygen and rate of rising water.
It was also quite intensive on my machine, maybe all the buidlings in the background added to that?
I liked the story panels, very detailed and well crafted. I also like that after each level you scroll down to the next story element, nice touch. A simple game, although I don't really know how it fits the theme. Had a nice artstyle and fitting music though. Was expecting more than 1 customer at a time but never saw any change, so each level was just longer. I also don't know if their book selection is random or not.
I wonder if you do a worst job than perfect, if you get different story panels 🤔
The credits scrolling through all the panels to get to the end was a bit of a shock though. I'd have though it'd just teleport there with maybe a fade to make it less jaring, instead of a pan. It does keep with the aesthetic of the game though, so maybe that was intentional
Overall decent little game, with a lot of room for expanding on a great foundation
A good start for something in a new engine.
A few things I noticed though.
- Some pieces could turn, idk if that was a choice or not - The game seemed to be quite intensive on my machine, in terms of resources and size. Maybe due to the nice models and materials etc - I liked the exploding completed lines, nice touch - Maybe an extra spin on it as suggested in other comments might've given it a boost in replayability.
A good foundation for something in a new engine though

Cool game, only figured out controls from @i-cam's comment. Listing them would be cool. What's the descriptor of "Brownie" supposed to refer to?

Simple game. Was difficult to identify what some items were. Maybe adding names to the "You can pick me up" popup. Overall ok though

A nice simple game. Difficult to discern direction through the map. Maybe the fireflies could be positioned to lead you
