How does your game fit the theme?
Biggus Smallus Blobus fits the theme because you need to constantly grow or shrink to finish the levels. You need to collect blobs to destroy all the enemies whereas sometimes you need to be small to get through tight corridors.

Hello Dron231! Thank you for the feedback!
I agree with you that we should be able to play individual levels as they are not really linked (you do not keep your speed between levels, unlike Celeste for example). As a matter of fact, this is clearly something we have to add to the game.
About the timer mechanic you suggest, I find that it could lower the barrier of entry to the speedrunning aspect of the game. And I truly love it! However, we should keep two timers: one with the restarts and another one without the restarts. So players managing to complete all the levels without any restarts are rewarded!
PS : Thank you for the bug report! We will investigate this one.
Amazing game! The mechanic of shooting slime and launching towards it not only works well for platforming, it also provides a good puzzle of figuring out when and where to shoot them. It's also just very responsive and satisfying to use! The game feels very polished too and has lots of cool visual effects. I did run into an issue where the font at the top of the screen wasn't rendering correctly. It sort of had a dotted appearance at first (as seen in the screenshot), and then after a few levels it disappeared entirely. This was in the web version though so the browser might be the issue. It's not a big deal though and the game is great!
Thank you very much for your feedback Berneyvonbean! We were quite surprised when we discovered that the shooting slime and dash mechanic could be used to do puzzles! After that, our level design approach was "find your way" -> mental challenge and "execute" -> physical challenge.
And about that UI bug, thank you for reporting it!
