Extra Notes
Thank you Thor for encouraging us to develop games. For some of us, this is our first Game Jam and we learnt a lot from this experience. Going forward, we'll be stronger and wiser.
!! Attention Players !!
- Turn up the Mouse Sensitivity, Music and Sound Effects volume in Game Settings - It starts at 0% by default (Oops!)

I enjoyed this! The flower growing mechanic was really sweet, and it was very satisfying to become an absolutely huge blob, and eating trash. I enjoyed launching my blob-children to distant islands, so they too could feast on delicious garbage, and grow big and strong. It was fun rag-dolling some robots, too.
Couple technical notes: I was a bit confused when I started, because the game defaults to maximum zoom so it seems like an FPS; and with a mouse sensitivity of one, so I couldn't turn at all. Also, there is no way to quit your game, without pressing alt-f4! The quit button takes me back to the cut-scene (which is very pretty, I might add!)
Well done!!
Yeah.. we listed such issues over on our itch.io page - I guess that's not visible here, ouch.
Thanks for checking out Synthesis! We appreciate your feedback :)
