This game was really enjoyable. The style was amazing especially the globs.
This game was great! My favourite part was the little face the globs make when they expand
Very clever game, good job !
Thanks! I really enjoyed your game!
God cabron !! Congrats
Concept is absolutely great, makes for a really cool puzzle. Levels are clever (and thank you very much for an option to skip level!) and some are real head-scratchers. Well done :)
One last thing - I really liked that the blocks changed faces, but the more you stretch them the more distressing they look and I felt so bad for making them do that :D
Nice clean game, good artstyle even though an actual tutorial would be welcome 👍💪⚡🥷💯🩸🚑🏥😎👌🫀😈👾🤓
Thank you bro 👍💪⚡🥷💯🩸🚑🏥😎👌🫀😈👾🤓
I found the game super charming and the concept is fun! I wanted to try all levels, but I thought it could have maybe an in-game tutorial to make the aim of the game clearer: is it to make all blobs touch the green square or only the red one? I think the first levels sort of misled me and then I found it difficult to progress past level 4 because I wasn't quite sure what I was trying to achieve in order to advance.
A really clever puzzle game!
That game is really charming, the art is so good. The puzzles are quite challenging sometimes but it's really good :)
Cute style and amazing level design and puzzles! Very clever
The art and sound on this game really good and so is the concept of puzzle,
one issue i feel like is the blocks expanding not a regular amount as it feels more trial and error that way. but still if explained well is a great concept
Cute puzzle game, although you could elaborate a bit on how to play the game. Reminds me of old flash games that you would play after school. Good work.
Very cute style! Got stuck on level 5, which seems impossible? But probably there's just something about the rules I don't understand. Which I think there must be, because there were times where it seemed like I should have been able to repel from a wall, but I wasn't? Controls were a bit clunky, not sure why resizing blobs had to happen in two steps. Not knowing how large blobs can get without clicking them first is also a bit annoying. Overall, I think there's potential for a pretty cool puzzle game here, though, it might just need a little more UX polish.
was a bit hard but the colors of the game and the music are really good nice job!
An absolute 10/10 puzzle game. You really have honed your craft
It looks and sounds amazing, but I think more attention could have gone to QA. The controls are very finicky, making controlling the puzzle elements frustrating. The mechanics also feel inconsistent, especially that it is possible to move the top right brown glob further off the wall by extending, retracting and then extending. That is either a bug, or the game works inconsistently, since the red guy the level prior did not have that behaviour. Also, I feel like there are to many levels. The difficulty curve is way off, and if there are some interesting puzzles in the later parts, then I won't get to it because of how many puzzles there are (for a game jam game where I also want to play other games.) But, overall, it is a nicely made game, with good juice and not missing anything, so I hope you keep on making game jam games in the future.
hey! thank you for the review and for taking the time to write it c: , and yes we should have focused on the quality of the levels instead of making lots of them xD
Thanks a lot for your constructive and detailed feedback. Totally agreed; we should have spent more time playtesting and we focused too much on quantity of levels rather than quality. Thanks again for your time! :)
very charming and polished puzzle game!
Very difficult game, but very fun. Loved the art styles and the challenging puzzles.
Surprised no one has commented yet. The art style is super fun. The music is something I would genuinely listen to while chillin in the city. The puzzles are super creative. Love it, amazing job guys
That's freakin awesome, listening to it now
Hey, composer of the music here ! Super happy you enjoyed it :)
I'll try to put proper extended versions of the tracks at some point (fade outs are lame haha)
