The art style reminds me so much of Newgrounds Flash games from way back in the day. I especially loved the eerie kitchen sounds combined with the slime squishing noises, really added a lot to the atmosphere! Got stuck on a couple of the puzzles because I couldn't get enough momentum to jump over, which was a little fidgety to get the pudding stacked in the right positions. But otherwise great job!

Amazing game! Nice work at the level design, the combination of colors and jellys opens dozens of posibilities when it comes to create more levels. I enjoyed playing this game :D
We made pretty similar games :) Both in terms of the concept and mechanics.
Good art, easy to understand controls and clean presentation. Nice job

Awesome game! I loved the art, but my favorite part of the game would probably have to be the slime sound just because it fits so perfectly! Overall great use of the theme.
a really cool colour combining concept that thoroughly surprised me, well done on the great game
Good game, with nice aspect overall. The game-changer of the colors its a nice touch, we take the same approach of multicharacter-puzzle-platformer, but adding some pikmin-style mechanics. Test if you can! I'll thank you.
There's a key that allows me to change color, I think it was some kind of debug feature, but I use to unstuck on a level :P
Good work!
This mechanic appear a bit too much in this jam. The only original things is the color part which is nice change. The art, animation, and sound effect is well done, but still can be improve on. I think you can do some tuning on your level. Couldn't give this game a high rating because of the abundancy of the same mechanic.
Cool game, although I had a bit of trouble with the control, always confuse what to use xD
But I like the theme and woah you certainly did a hell of a good job by all the grafics and arts around and in the game!
The spliting mechanism is good, puzzles aren't boring even if they are not hard. I think it lacks a bit of tension (no danger) or maybe a bad ending if you don't leave with every one.
Really interesting idea, fits the theme perfectly and quiet fun to play. The atmosphere and the music is really well done. A bit more levels would've been good though, as the game feels a bit too short.
