The old guy increased my motivation to keep playing even after dying a few times. I've beaten 2048 before, but I decided to put this one down for now after throwing a couple hours at it lol. The background sound is extremely good, and feels like it adds to the game significantly. I'll definitely be back to finish it. My feedback would be that it would be nice to have a way to have the big mouse cursor be hidden when it's off the screen rather than leaving behind its last position.

Thank you for playing. :)
Yes, this has been raised before. I already have a fix on the way for this.
The mouse will auto-hide after 5 seconds of inactivity in the next release.

Made it to the last red potion, with a large yellow on the board.
Nice work though!

It's a nice puzzle game.  The sound is so soothing!  I can see myself putting it on and doing a few hours of coding ♥

Thank you for the kind words. <3

I want a bigger board! xD 4x4 isn't enough for me anymore... ! I need to go beyond!

I spent a few hours today trying to beat it >.< 

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Interesting "2048" concept implementation into the game jam theme. The art is nice and music make the gameplay relaxing. Good job :)

Thank you for playing. :)
Yes, this was 100% the intent.
I tried to combine together the feels of: Triple town, 2048, Merged & Taiji.

Really cool game! Very relaxing and good art! and SFX!

Thank you very much.
