This is really kinda cool. Obviously its unfinished and janky, but the idea is solid and you got some really good mechanics in there. I'd probably play a fancier version of this game.

That was a nice little puzzel game combined with chemistry lesson ๐Ÿ˜‰!

GAMEPLAY 
Fun little puzzles. Nice to think on how to set yourself on fire or use the electric current. Funny movement for the sponge. The slide was a good extra option to use in the puzzles. Bit short, but I understand the time restraints. It was fun to play and solve the puzzles! Maybe an update can have more challenges.

GRAPHICS/ART 
Simple graphics but they did the job. Some nice flame and electricity effects. Every thing had a clear shape and structure.

AUDIO  
Unfortunate I could not hear any. That would have been a cool bonus. Sponge sound and fire and water sound effects for example.

THEME 
The absorption of liquids was well done in this game. 

Well done and fun little puzzles!๐Ÿ’ช

I really like the symplistic visuals but couldn't quite figure out how to get past the gate with a button(?) with an electricity sign next to it. Am I missing something?

Set fire to yourself, burn the wood.

Then soak yourself in water and block the flames; so a robot can pass through

Aah got it! This wasn't clear to me, spend 5 minutes walking around with no clue what to do, then gave up. Ill try again tonight and adjust my rating. Thanks for your reply :)

I liked how you implemented the theme and the squishy animation of the crawling felt satisfying. I like how you had to combine different abilities together to advance - this extra complexity could definitely make for some amazing new levels if you decide to put more time into this. My main criticism would be that the game was a little confusing at times about where to go and the lack of sound made it feel somewhat dull sometimes.

Overall, this was a good game and I enjoyed playing it.

Thanks for feedback, I definitely wanted to add sound; just not my forte :p

Solid entry! I like that you've used 3D. Something I still want to learn. Good mechanics and nice feedback to the player while you absorbed different things. 

Solid entry!

Haha,
Glad you liked it,
I ended up spending 3 days on it as I got a bit busy with my uni starting again;
Might continue and a bit more charm to this project in the future :D
