  • 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 :)

Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?

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.

Amazing game. I particularly like the end sequence, the intensity is great. Very well done!

He's just a little guy :)

I really liked the characters and world building they provided, they were really charming. I also thought the platforming was pretty good, though I think a checkpoint in the final section would have been good.

Great game! It plays very well and the NPCs were cool looking. One suggestion I'd add is to make some of the spikes a bit more visible. Cheers!

The amount of different mechanics that you pulled off in two weeks is incredible, and even more the fact that they're all very responsive. I totally got Celeste feelings there. Well done!

I love the world created here, instantly attached to the characters I came across. I dropped down to visit the deep voiced purple one because I wanted to know what was going on. The sound was excellent, the controls were tight, the victory was fulfilling. The last section felt like a very fast ramp up in difficulty, but I found myself getting better with the mechanics with each death.

Cool Game, I could feel Celeste, Super meat boy, and obviously Mario.
