The mechanics here are pretty cool, I like being able to jump up much higher and collect that sort of power. The tradeoffs for certain things are interesting. There are some weird control issues like when you get a lot of jump power I bounced backwards. The jumping over obstacles is very precise and the obstacles aren't very clear. The sounds are a bit dry, like it doesn't sound like much was done with them to create them. It is a bit strange that there is large, loud intro music and then no in-game music. Overall, fun concept that could use some tuning on the mechanics.

Really like the mechanic of dropping slime balls to get through places. Lots of potential for level design!

Event HorizonThe game was nice, aside from the slow player speed which made the levels seem longer. It felt a bit awkward not resetting the whole level when the player died, but the game felt pretty interesting overall and I would have liked to play past level 2. Great job with the parts that did work though!

Tipping the ScalesCool game. There is a bug, that if you die from fall, slime doesn't restet, so you can be soft locked.

Size spaceshipPlatformer with cool concept, but would be better if you could finish second level and also after you die, level doesn't really reset completely (you could manually reset so it was fine though). Good work.

The Tower Will RISEFun game!
The only problem is that's very imprecise physics, which is a bit frustrating.
The game arts is good, but I think the implementation could be better (some blurry things).
Congrats!

Slime StoryA sweet little game. It may be predictable, but it's obvious that a good job has been done in the field of creativity.

Never Without ShadowIt's a neat little game. The concept is interesting in its own right; I just wish there was more to explore with the mechanic! I'd say the controls definitely need some more work, both in feel and feedback. Good job overall though!

FRANKEN JUDGEHey, I can't figure out how to download it. Is it only for Windows or does it work for other platforms (I use MacOS)?

SlimeScaleOh noh, pink rectangle, worst ever nightmare, run for your lives!
Couldn't really find out how to beat that level with the glass bottle and the several sponges.
Loved the idea, creative puzzles, platforming controls could get a little more work for maximum good feelings, but honestly nice entry. Love the intro screen haha.

GreenyBackHomeOf course, the mechanics are pretty well aligned with the jam theme but the artwork gives it the final touch.
Good game.
