The feeling of being a slime is extremely on point! I really like the animations and sounds! Very cute character :) It´s really satisfying that you can jump so high on the green platforms! I found it a bit hard to control the character though.

Developer

Thanks for this comment! Ivess made this nice character for me. For the controls i don't really now how to improve them. Or maybe you are talking about the bouncer? If someone have any suggestions for the controls i would be really intrusted in it.

Maybe I'm not the best to give a suggestion because I had pretty bad movement in my game haha xD But I think it is because the ground movement is pretty slow and then the air movement is quite fast. But maybe that is what made him feel slimey though x) And movement is always a  personal preference so it's never going to satisfy everyone I guess. :)

Ok, i will maybe increase the speed a little when grounded ! Thanks for responding!

This is actually pretty good. The music fits the game perfectly.

There looks like there is a bug that causes a bouncer to never disappear, which is kind of annoying when it gets in the way of a passage. Not sure what caused it though.

It's a good game, it just needs more variety in obstacles. I'm not to crazy about the death upgrades, I like to beat a game without assistance from things like that to make myself feel proud.

Developer

I already saw this bug and i think it is because it is perfectly at the same level as the ground and so it just send a collision with the ground while bouncing on the bouncer, but i'm not sure. To solve this i thought that i could just make the bouncer disapear after  a delay but it isn't the best solution. So if you have some ideas ti solve my problem, I am open to all solution.

Thanks for commenting and rating my game!

Man, it's funny to see somebody the Animated Slime Pack drawn by me! I'm glad it served you a good use!

To the feedback:

I've finished the game in 6 minutes with I think 20 deaths or so in easy mode. I ended up using ONLY Super Bounce buff as it seemed the best choice for me.

In my opinion, the bouncing mechanic is very difficult to master. I can hardly imagine somebody finishing the game with 0 deaths

The sounds were nice. They fit the game, and that's good

Overall, nice try! Good luck with the jam and future projects! And also, if you are going to use my assets, I'd appreciate if you shared the game with me - it's always interesting to see what people use it for :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for this big feedback.

I already saw that Super Bouncer is the better choice, i should maybe decrease the bounce amount and for the bouncing mechanics i already finished it without deaths

Your Slime pack was just perfect for my game! In the future, i will share the game with the people that makes the asset and sorry i should maybe put your name into the credits, i didn't thought about that.

Thanks again for this feedback, it is really cool to get so much feedback so i can improve my game ;)

Nice and fun game. I think the bouncer could be improved and last longer. You could fix the sound spam when you stand on it.

There's too much text at one time at the begining. Try using triggers or other to display small chunks of text as the players moves forward in the level

I will also try to fix this issue, thanks for the comments !

Cool game. I think there were a bit too many words on screen at point, in the foreground and background. Maybe putting a darkened overlay behind the power up options?

I am gonna try to fix this issue, Thanks for the comment!

Cool game !

Neat little game! I would definitely work on the controls a bit, as they're a bit... hard to control. But then again, you're a ball of slime- so what should I expect. XD

I like it, though! :)

Developer(+1)

Yeah i now that the game is difficult and i set that the slime move slower when on ground so that could be disturbing.

Thanks for rating and for this learning comment!

Nice slimy sounds + movement, the bounces glitched out on me a couple times but cool game!
