Such a cool concept and a really polished execution. Took me a few tries but I beat it on easy! We'll see if I crack hard.
Thanks! One tip is that the goo only expands by one pixel per frame, so if you have it advancing along multiple paths, you get more thinking time, though it comes at the cost of having a bit more to manage.
Wow, this is such a good game!
(and impressive that you got this much quality in 1K!)
The "goo" effect alone is gorgeous (goorgeous?) - I could just keep staring at it 🤩
After dying several times at the start, I thought I'd never beat it.
But after a few more goes, I finally won! (yeah ok, on "Easy", but it counts! 😅)
Really nice entry! 👍
Thank you! I'm thinking of expanding/refining the game a bit, outside of the 1k limit. Working on and thinking about a few different ways to make misdrops recoverable, since those are the most unsatisfying losses.
It must be dark magic … how can you put this game in this size? I really don’t understand it 😅 Reminds me of a game I used to play as a teenager. It’s amazing 👍
Thank you! :) I posted what I thought were the interesting coding techniques I used to the Pico8 BBS https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=154240
Great puzzle game!
Thanks!
Love it. Absolutely brilliant!
Thank you!
