I like this concept! Final score 3060! The controls feel very fluid and I love the snap effect when you place a tile down and the bounce animation to show which ones got points. Fun little game! I wish there was more levels to play haha overall great game!

Lovely game. It's cool that the rock tiles start appearing later on, to change things up a bit, and the feedback of placing tiles is nice. I feel that being able to preview the next few tiles ahead could add some strategy, but good job overall!

3160 points, I quess I am the current champion? :-) Nice game. I wish there would have been more hybrid tiles like the ones with water and dock. Now it felt just too easy to plop every piece perfectly. Reminds me of classic board game carcassonne. But I really liked how polished the experience is and how the game launched effortlessly on ldjam.com.

An excellent idea for a game, it's calm and relaxing.
You can play quietly!

I could imagine sound effects when you place a water tile, like a splash, and so on for the forest, building, desert... it would be more immersive.

I'm surprised there's no link or story to the "summoning" theme!

That said, I had a great time playing your game, thank you!![Capture.JPG](///raw/cbb/f5/z/64ba5.jpg)

This was a fun little experience! It was relaxing and I had a great time trying to combine things together in the best way possible. 3080 was my best! I think a bit more variation, like the combo pieces would be nice, but al in all I really liked it!

Solid Dorfromantik style game! While the gameplay might not be the most original, the execution is done well. Nice choice for graphics, and the audio is tasteful and relaxing. Animations are satisfying and smooth. It would have been nice to see some changes from Dorfromantik.

Cute game with nice polish! The assets used look great. Weird thing though, it seems the final score written in the middle of the screen and the score on the top left do not correspond?
