- Very good GDD, I loved seeing the whole design ideas with such complex but easy to digest details. Very cool! The ideas and foundations link very nicely to the game jam, and the underlying themes are mysterious & magical with an awesome soundtrack and sound effects!. Thoroughly enjoyed my little play through. Feedback: Adjust the text that is shown to make it easier to read Adjust the designs of some of the static objects, as some of them blend together and become very hidden The rest of the game is nicely laid out and thought out, please keep going with this. I would be very interested to see how you implement new items and upgrades to the movement :)

Tell us about your game!
We've made a platformer that focuses basic wall jumping and climbing. Went with a celeste control scheme with an animal well esque aesthetic.
Controls are WASD + Mouse, with other schemes explained.
Deep in a sewer under an unknown magical tower, creatures crawl out of the trash. One little blob must make his way out to confront his creator, to find out why they exist.
Extra Notes
This game jam was a lot of fun. Had a great time with the community.

Hey Zippo! Thanks for your help with my entry! This feels possibly one of the most polished games in this jam and I really really enjoyed how tight the controls felt. I have learned in this jam that making a platformer that is challenging but not annoying is a magical sweet spot. You achieved this in spades, well done!
Very well done! This is a very polished little platformer and I loved it very much! The controls are great and smooth, the jump although a bit floaty, feels very intuitive and comfortable. The double jump reminds me of Celeste of all things, and was well implemented as well! I especially like the final challenge, with to be fair is a bit difficult without checkpoints, but is a great test of what you've learn through the game.
I was expecting a closure to the story as it was conveyed well through different characters in the game, but sadly the ending didn't bring an end to it, and I think it was a bit unfortunate. Love the dance though.
Anyway, great job!!
a very "well" made little game, the end challenge was a bit brutal though with those evilly placed mini spikes and that jump pad... a bit too long for the errors that can be made. But well, enjoyable over all, I like it :)
The best I've played so far, sad I didn't had it in me to finish the chase and see the finale :c
Damn, this game answers what if animal well had wall jumping :) Great work!
I really like the art and music! Becomes pretty challegning really quick! I liked just jumping in sync with music :D
Really fun game! The last sequence was awesome and stressful, but that squished jump pad was a cheap trick and I had lots of problems with how wall jumping works. Great sound design and the ending was... let's say surprising.
Such a beautiful, quirky but creepy game! Much like the original homunculus videos hahaha
Dope game! Really great polished fun! I love everything about this.
Controls are really nice and tight! love the animal well influence and the enviroment looks great!
A fantastic looking celeste-like with a cute little slimey blob. Really fantastic world building and character design.
The controls felt a little iffy when sticking to walls and wall jumping but not so much that I couldn't beat it. The final chase section though had me raging and I know for a fact there will have been a conversation of "Hehehe... what if we put 1 tiny little bounce pad in a really small area right below a spike half way through the chase section" then the rest of the group was like "Hell yeah"... I see you... torturous people!
But yeah what a fantastic little game that eludes to a whole lot more in the world without giving too much away. A masterclass in design in my experience.
Were you spying on me? lol
👀 I just know how a sick mind words... We should be friends. We can put mini-bounce pads everywhere!
This was really good, end part was crazy hard for me so I didn't end up finishing. A checkpoint halfway through would've helped alot.
Truly incredible, the last leg kicked my buns, but the end screen was totally worth it. Absolutely oozing character, loved all the blursed buds we made a long the way! Quality feels well above and beyond what anyone could make in 2 weeks, I'm totally blown away, amazing work! 💚
nice art and awesome story, but the movement felt a bit unresponsive also please add coyote time T_T
Absolutely Awesome! The story has me hooked!
lovely game! character design is great, sound feedback is satisfying, really enjoyed the boss level
Amazing game, congrats on a great jam!
I genuinely enjoyed everything about this game. The sound and art design really come together to create such a detailed atmosphere. I love the subtle storytelling, the character designs, and the juxtaposition between the silly talking beeps and the spooky surroundings. Top to bottom, I'm impressed, and my only complaint is that I wish there was more content so I could keep playing for hours!
We really enjoyed the characters and dialogues; they are definitely the strongest points of your game! The climbing mechanic with stamina is also a fantastic feature.
One area for improvement could be the clarity of the text. The current typography makes it a bit challenging to read. Additionally, while the sound effects match the style of the game, they are occasionally too loud or distracting.
Keep it up!
This is really good! Really liked the dialogue.
