  • 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
