By the way, when new possible combos appears on the right side, the whole ui goes up. If you do it enough, the score disappear over the top of the game windows.

I'd love if the row of tiny creature was'nt randomized each time, because it makes playing strategically an almost impossible task. Maybe just shifting the row to the side and adding new creatures to fill the gap could be a better option?
Nice jam game, I feel that the concept works well, and with some polish it could be a nice little game. Good job!
If that is fixed this is an interesting take on tile dropping games with good presentation!
The game also get pretty buggy once you reach the top of the screen
Otherwise a solid foundation that you could make a nice game out of!
Oh having basic match-3 mechanic should work with this game and keep the objectives and set high score reward for creating the objective patterns.
On the flipside, the play field is huge considering you'll only drop one at a time.
