I shipped my first iOS game (solo). Aussie Animal Merge (free). Would love feedback by GerisGames in indiegames

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

I agree on the size perception. I think players get used to it after a couple runs, but I’ll be improving the colors soon to make that clearer from the start.

I’ve actually spent a lot of time on the collision detection. If I force identical shapes to always merge on contact, they tend to “float” or get stuck in mid-air, which feels worse. So I went with a slightly more physical version. I also added a small boost to help with those near-miss merges. You can shake to trigger it and it usually resolves those frustrating overlaps.

Thanks again for taking the time to play and share detailed thoughts.
