Interesting concept, I love the control scheme also. Good work.

The concept is simple and well done, and the slime is nice and charming (love the death animation!), with a good difficulty curve. I just wish that I didn't recognize the stock music, instantly reminded me of where I first heard it: "Number 15, Tunnel Systems..." The horror... Either way, good game!
<Me when I play this game.
You play as the one eventual blob that will avenge all the previous blobs that one spiky boi and his lava wall friends has rekt by surviving longer than the last. And lowkey if you're as bad as I am you probably will be avenging a lot of blobs.
The controls feels good and fair. It has the right amount of response time for the blob to follow your mouse whenever you make a move. The blob can only move so fast so you'll have to anticipate your own actions. I think the delay slightly adds to the difficulty of the game.
Animations and art style were really well done. It's simple and fluid. Nothing too crazy and strategically speaking given the time frame, it was a really smart move. I think the final presentation really paid off. Sound design was good.
For gameplay, I haven't gone pass higher than 221 so I cannot speak for the game's level variation pass that score, but from what I've seen so far the speed at which the game ramps up the difficulty is good. I didn't think it took too long to get to my previous score, but I have suffered to 100 in flappy bird so I might be bias. The quick tutorial in the beginning was also a nice touch.
I know I really didn't say much if any negatives at all, but from my pov with the time allotted, this is pretty impressive :) I think like some others have said, if given more time this idea can be expanded upon even more, especially on mobile.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to try it!

Just letting you know (I'm not rating this one)
Loved how the control felt. Really imaginative game, great use of the theme, and promises a lot, you could do a million things with this idea. Couldn't really think of something that rubbed me the wrong way, so in general, great game, congrats !!!!
I love the cute and jiggly animated design! The slime is not as quick on it's feet and can take some time to get used to the movement, but that is also a part of the game's challenge! Even after hearing the sound of my death more times than I could count the BGM and sound effects used for the game is perfect! I am definitely looking forward to more rushed games from you in the future!
This is a super nice looking and feeling game. The movement can be a bit frustrating but it is totally fair. Sometime the ball collision with the walls is a bit weird but overall the particle effects and simple graphics help telegraph movement really well. Also the collision circles/shapes are perfect and I never felt like I got hit when I shouldn't have. Overall good quality
