How was your experience with Mini Jam?
Loved it! Really helped me and my brother develop our Unity skills! Will be attending again.

I added a speedrun timer for those of you insane enough to try it! Reply with your time!

Cool concept!! Gosh, I struggled a lot with these controls, though I feel that's the intention, right? (Plus, I'm naturally very clumsy, lol)

This was really enjoyable either way though! Nice work!! The eel exploding was so funny every time! 

Developer

Yes! I personally love games that reward the player for mastering their controls, and what better way to implement that than as a slippery eel? Glad you liked it! I still chuckle watching Murry's guts fly all over the place.

Developer

I just released a patch that improved a lot of the problems with the Eel controls, please give it a try and reply with feedback!

Wish I had cookies to send, cool concept, a took me a long time to learn how to control the eel

Developer

I’m glad you liked it! Murry got his cookies, so don’t worry!

Very fun way to control the eel that keeps you engaged. Nice game.

The concept was quite interesting and adding a mini storyline makes it wayyyy better!! 
Good luck with the jam! I hope you like the other games in the jam too<3

Controls are frustrating in a good way(challenge) but fair, you learn (or not) to master it as you die

Sadly I couldnt make it to the end, but loved the game!

I think there is a bubble that acts as the lava blocks on its side (the top left path where it splits in 4)

Developer (1 edit)

Yeah, the bubble block was intentional...if you go back there, you'll see that the properties of the blocks have been swapped! Try again by going through the only brick wall next to the deadly bubbles!

[EDIT] I patched a lot of the less intuitive parts of the level, including the death bubble. That section should now be much easier to beat! Thank you again for your feedback.
