Very original, took me a couple of minutes to figure out what I had to do, and I feel you can blast through most of the levels not really noticing the color mechanic.

In the last level however the level design forces you to think about the order in which you "kill" the arrow, so that was cool.

The music is great too.

Good job :)

Developer

Ah, that's a great point! We'll definitely tweak the first levels a bit, until the concept is clear as day! Thanks for the compliments!

You will forever have our gratitude for lifting the curse of the Jelly Knight!

Great game. The only thing that is missing is a better way of conveying what the player can and should do.

Developer

We are glad you like the game! We will make the instructions clearer through better feedback to all of the player's actions in the future. We'll keep you updated when we have new versions!

The Juan and Only is in your debt, brave Phoenix

Very fun concept! Plus a fellow slime like main character! Would love to see this more polished up! Had a lot of fun playing!

Developer

We're glad you enjoyed it! We'll let you know when the Jelly Knight goes on his next adventure.

Thank you for helping him out on this one, fellow Slime!

Slimy bois gotta stick together! <3

It is a bit hard to grasp at the start, but it was a lot fun once I figured it out.

Submitted

Once I fully understood the mechanics, I actually quite enjoyed it. Love the Rock Paper Scissor theme!

Submitted

The way the balls bounce around is kinda buggy and unpredictable but it was a fun game overall.

Submitted

Interesting idea! Like it!

Submitted

Love this game. I had lot's of fun! This game is full of potentiall!

Developer

Thank you :)

Submitted

This is a lot of fun! I really enjoyed the slight puzzle element of the game. Given more time, I'm sure you could really expand upon the groundwork you've laid and make some really compelling levels!

Submitted

Hi! I had a lot of fun playing your game, though I did encounter 2 bugs in the "bug free" browser version. In one level a bullet left the screen, and then the ladder appeared on the left instead of on the right, and was a little bit out of the screen.

Developer

Thank you for playing the game! We're glad you enjoyed it. Yes, we are working to fix those issue, maybe we should have labeled it "les buggy" instead of "bug free" haha. Thanks for the feedback! The Juan and Only will forever be in your debt, brave warrior

Happy to help :)

quite unique... and engaging... rated

A better movement system and more levels would be nice. But other than that you got everything you need! A great starting point for a great game.

Submitted

Creative would have liked a more traditional movement system though

Submitted

Really elegant movement system, I liked being able to do it all using the mouse. Nice work!

Really cool game, loved the story and the background music. Well done!

Submitted

Good job, realy interesting concept

Great idea. It has potential to become a solid puzzle game.
I think you should consider making the control more easy. WASD move up/left/down/right feels like better to me. And I don't think I need a mouse to aim. The easier control might let player more focus on the "puzzle" you designed.
Nice work!

Developer

Thanks for the compliment & the feedback! Yes, we thought about using WASD, but we're also planning on  designing some puzzles that require lots of control over the aim to get the bullet exactly where you want it. The mouse felt like a more natural way to go, although I agree that we could've used WASD for this version.

Thank you for playing!

You will always have our gratitude for restoring the Jelly Knight's body back to normal!

"Jelly Knight's body back to normal"
HAHAHA, this makes me recall a Japanese Anime last year.

Excellent, had a blast playing. Controls are smooth, characters are unique, and the background music is catchy and well done.

Looking forward to new projects from you guys!

Developer

Thank you for helping the Juan and only Jelly Knight on his quest, brave warrior! We're glad you had fun playing our game

Submitted

Clever idea! I was a fan of the controls for defending/attacking!

At the start I didn't quite understand how to move onto the next level, but after restarting the game a few times I realized that the stairs were showing up and that meant a new level for Juan, the Jelly Knight!

Developer

Ah, yes! The stairs' white color doesn't contrast too well with the background. Adding this to our to do list!
The Jelly Knight and his kingdom will forever be in your debt!

Thanks for playing!
