The More The Merrier! is a game about making sure that your friends have a great time in the party that you're organising. You need to make sure that there's diversity in each of the dance rooms, so everyone feels as happy as possible. Obviously, the more dancers, the harder it'll get to make it comfortable for everyone.

Instructions:
1. Move people between rooms by dragging-n-dropping with the mouse
2. Each type of people enjoy a party differently *based on the people in their room*:
- Circles like to be in rooms with a majority of Circles.
- Triangles dislike being in rooms where there are many Triangles, or not enough Circles and Squares.
- Squares like rooms in which they massively outnumber Triangles.

A good logic puzzler with a very cute art style. Reminds me of games by Nicky Case :)

Excellent game, lots of fun! The art style's very nice, and it's an interesting challenge to try to work out where the shapes should go.

Very good idea and cute graphics ! The mix between a puzzle game and a gestion game is very interesting ! May you should bring people slower to give the player more time to think how to organise the room because it is hard to manage all the participant.

Haha, really fun! At first I tried to be super separatist and designated room A to be for all the squares, and rooms B and C for circles (with triangles spread all about) which seemed like a good strategy, but at the end I wasn't able to make everybody happy, particularly with the max room sizes! It took a lot of reshuffling around at the end, but I finally managed to make all 180 dancers happy. Turns out the winning strategy is actually to have a good mix of people in each room -- I like that!

Looks very nice, kinda hard to manage everything when there are more people around but I guess it is supposed to be like this? It's very sad there's no music to be honest. I think that would make much better. Great job!

Fun challenging puzzle. This would have been so good with party music to it. It was a bit hard to keep everything in mind from the start, so if anything I would have suggested starting with 2 rooms and 2 types/rules and then add on as you go. When you have X happy dancers in 2 rooms, you gain a new room an new people-types comes to join the party.

The style and art was very neat.
