For the GMTK Gamejam 2021 - "Joined Together"

Until We Meet Again is a minimalist puzzle/simulation game where you use RINGS to organize and filter a group of aliens (represented by shapes) to help them get to their spaceships!

[CONTROLS: Use your MOUSE]

Connect RINGS to join circulation paths, then move them apart to disconnect them. Each RING acts as filter for both 'shape' and 'color'. For example a yellow circle will allow ALL YELLOW (of any shape) and ALL CIRCLES (of any color) to pass through. Think UNO!

Some RINGS will be marked as spaceships - they function as filters AND a destination point. You need to fully board ALL spaceships on the level with all the shapes (aliens) that match BOTH its 'shape' + 'color' to clear the level.

Tips:

Connect multiple rings together to create a more complex filters
Separate and connect the right moment pull/send desired shapes
Shapes will always try and move to a NEW connected circle when possible.
Disconnecting the circles resets this relationship.
If everything gets a little too messy, try resetting the level and attempt from fresh (it's much easier once you have a strategy!)

*how it fits "JOINED TOGETHER" :

In “Until We Meet Again” players use a combination of joining and breaking chains of RINGS to create a system that sorts and filters a random group of shapes. The organised shapes need to then be re-grouped on specific RINGS (marked with rockets) order to clear the level and send the aliens home!
