The level design was really great! The concept is cool, would be a really great game with some polish and art!
This was quite an enjoyable puzzle game to play. It would be nice if the interactions between the blocks and the player were a little more forgiving; life if you just barely pushed them too close together. Good job!
The level design could have some tweaks, but in general they are excellent at teaching the mechanic, nice done!
Great concept and interesting level designs. There are only buttons, gates and slimes, but you managed to make good use of those to design the levels. Stripping jump away from the player is always a risky move, but that's what made this game interesting.
Something I find irritating is that when I am in a pit with only red slime, I'm essentially stuck there and have to reset all my progress on the level. The sprites for the gate also kind of blends in to the background.
All in all, it's a great game. Good job making it!
Yes, that can definitely be frustrating. The bouncy block was actually the last feature we added to the game, and I spent several hours just designing the last two stages. Even so, I think there's a lot of room for improvement on the puzzle design. My respect for game devs who make ingenious puzzles has increases exponentially after working on this project.
Thanks for checking it out!
This is a really cool concept and I think you executed it well! The puzzles reminded me of Portal a bit, in a really good way. There were a few times I had soft-locked myself, and I had to restart the puzzle. That can be a little frustrating when I was already several minutes into a level. But overall this is great work, nice job!
Hi Khaeven04!
This is a really neat concept. I love how you gain new abilities as you merge with the slimes. It creates a really unique puzzle platformer experience.
A little bit of mysterious music while you are navigating this maze would make the game pop! Otherwise the pixel art and aesthetics are very cool!
Great start! Good luck in the jam!
Best,

Neat idea! If the ball can push multiple blocks at the same time it would be even better.
Yes, I agree! We may revisit this game and add more mechanics to it. Thanks for checking it out!
