Nothing to say, this was spot on, the glue gun in 2d works really great and you took time to polish the mechanic so that it works without being frustrating. Just GREAT :)
Top notch game jam entry, really enjoyed this one.
The only thing I can think of is that the gun clipping when you're trying to shoot down off an edge was a bit awkward. But that was easily ignore when I realised I shouldn't do it :)
Great sounds, music and control feelings. Really enjoyed playing this one, the levels them selves were well put together.
Well done! :)
Thanks for the kind words :)
Nice game and great implementation! It’s very cool that you made the game yourself)
I liked the game, some parts were pretty simple but the later levels were more challenging. The bug that removed your goo if you shoot too close to yourself gave a bit more challenge to the game which made it more fun for me ^^
Its not a bug, its a feature :) If you could spawn gloo right next to the player you could glitch yourselfs into walls, so I added a minimal distance.

I really enjoyed the Gloogun in Prey, and this does a good job of recapturing the feel of that mechanic. Very cool!
The entire game is amazing, great job with the mechanic, nice work, nice levels, great sounds and art.
Niiice! Very charming and juicy platformer!
very good game . the end screen was a really good addition. :D
Had fun playing this game, pretty creative and challenging. Sadly, I couldn't complete the game on the first run, but I'll definitely play it again and attempt to beat it.
My only issue is that the music gets annoying after a while. A variation of the song would help, but that's just me.
Other than that, nice entry overall.~ ^v^
I really liked that game, and I didn't think I would based on screenshots.
The gameplay is really cool, although I have a couple of complaints:
- music bacame really tiring really fast, maybe a mute button would be cool?
- sound effects are pretty nice, but also pretty repetitive, some variations of the same sounds wouldn't hurt
- sometimes, if I shot directly to a wall in front of me, the bullets would just dissapear (maybe colliding with the player?)
Overall it was a pretty fun experience :)
Thank you for your feedback :D
A bullet, shot too close to the player, won't spawn a Gloo, because you could glitch yourself up or into walls, not that close to the player and a small Gloo will spawn, and beyond that a Big Gloo.
Oh, I couldn't really tell when the big or when the small goo was spawning, thanks for explaining
The game is very fantastic. It is a good puzzle game for managing the resource !
Im just happy that I followed you… really awesome game man! all 3 points 5 stars! had fun playing the game! really, really nice game again! Keep up you awesome work!
I'm glad you like it :D
I love this! Good art, good level design, and a solid mechanic. With a few more additions it could make for a really complex puzzle game.
Woah. This idea is really cool take on the gel gun from Prey. I really enjoy the potential and even in this game jam state I did have fun. I do find the music annoying personally.
One suggestion I could have is to alternate between tracks so it doesn't get repetitive when a player is stuck on a level (or make a track that's really long or something). I would have liked a mute button although granted I didn't manage to add it to my game too.
The movement is really stiff however. I think it could benefit from implementation of core platformer concepts like gravity modifier based off button held or even just double jumping. I felt really heavy.
The gel gun gimmick is a lot of fun, especially with the limited ammo and having to find ways to solve puzzles It wasn't very obvious at first that the things I picked up were meant to be extra ammo but when i figured it out I really like the concept. I do think the levels are a bit long. I did manage to finish playing but it was easy to lose near the end and having to restart over and was kinda frustrating. Up to you to decide if you liked that.
One major complaint I have is that the gel projectile collides with the player and that felt extremely unsatisfying. You have to fix this if you can post-jam if you intend to work on this game more. It just really dampened the experience. I think having the gel spawn where you stand and the player is propped up is a better idea. In addition, I should be able to shoot the gel where I am about to land to soften my landing on a pile of spikes. Currently it just collides with the player and the gel gets wasted and the player dies.
Overall, I think this idea has a lot of potential and you should polish it up. It's fun. I am glad I played this game. It does remind me a bit of my own entry (platformers where you have a gun that shoots a projectile you need to solve puzzles with spikes and stuff and we both didn't have time to add proper menus)
Gave 4 out of 5 stars for Creative use of theme. Might come back and add the last star depending on other games I've played although I think with the jank it's hard to recommend the final star. Still, this idea is really good take on the theme.
Wow, thanks for your feedback :)
I agree with all your complaints, On my playthrough however, I never noticed that the bullets were colliding with the player, I know the movement is stiff, pretty hard to get a smooth one and the music was pretty much a last second addition.
Appreciate the complex review, thanks for your effort :)
That was really fun to play.
That was really fun to play.
By far the best game I've played so far. LOVE IT :)
Wow, thanks allot for kind words :)
Really like what you did. The Gloo gun was amazing on Prey and you did a wonderfull job here!
Only criticism I have is the movement are a little frustrating to get around and sometimes the gun doesn't fire (especially under you when you are falling).
One of my favorite entry :)
Thanks for your rewiew :)
Challenging but intriguing! Fun to play, clever level design, and a perfect translation of the mechanic into 2D! :)
