Really cool idea and plenty of promise. Mechanic was a little difficult to get used to  , but could really see this getting fleshed out into a fun game :D

The story made me laugh ("the budget ran low"). The sounds went well with the gameplay. The vacuum was a little hard to use while moving and jumping.

It was rough lol. We started halfway into the jam, my partner had never made a game before, and I was moving a kid out of my house the one week we had to do it. Not the best game but we got it done.

I REALLY wanted to see if there was a 2nd level but I couldn't do the last jump with the slime. The collision on the pillars was a bit odd. I had to either stand directly in the middle or on the edge. Some times I tried jumping but it wouldn't jump so the slime would kill me. I liked the idea though, if the collisions on things were generally better, it would have been a really fun game I think !

Developer

Thanks a lot. It was down to the wire for us and my partner is new to unity and tile map so we had to redo collisions like an hour before submissions. Great feedback.

This is a good puzzle game idea. I found it pretty challenging!

If you develop this further, it'd be great if you could see the end of your vacuum's power with an indicator. Also, it'd be cool if you could move and vacuum simultaneously. 

Good job!

You actually can move and vacuum at the same time. The issue was the raycast sometimes loses the slime as you move.  I was trying to use the vacuum animation and a trigger instead but it was literally an hour until submission and I have had build issues in the past so it was dropped for what we had. Thank you for the feedback.

Ah I see! I only actually tried when jumping so that makes a lot of sense 👍
