The art was really nice and smooth, a lot of work must have been put into the game ! Good job !!!

Thank you! Oh for sure, it was a fun jam but I'm definitely enjoying having some free time to unwind again lol. Thanks for playing our game, hope you had a fun jam! :)

Amazing job with the visuals of your game btw!

Wildly well thought out! Some real mechanics here that should be explored even further. A lot of information to take in for the player, but perhaps that says more about me than it does the quality of the game. 

Developer

Thanks a lot! I'm not sure I'll do anything further with it after the jam but I may end up cleaning up some of the rough edges and improving the level design a bit. I definitely agree about the information overload, the game would have definitely benefited a lot from a proper tutorial. Lessons for next time though. Thanks for playing! :)

Very cool, the goop proved too chaotic for me, though I did manage to fill up all the samplers. Really great job on the visuals, especially all the menus and UI, it was very clean and crisp. Great submission!

Developer

Thanks a lot! It can definitely get pretty hectic and even I died to it a lot too while playing. :')

Thanks for playing our game, hope you had a great time with the jam!

Finally got to play! A little overwhelmed on the information thrown at you at the beginning, but I did manage to run around the map and interact a bit.

Developer(+1)

100% agree about the information overload. One thing I particularly noted about your entry was how nice the experience was for new players to learn and am definitely taking notes for the future. :P

Thanks for giving our game another go!

Neat game! I failed to contain the goop though :( It seemed like I needed to go where the goop is in order to remove it, but I couldn't go where the good is without dying...strange.

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

It can definitely be difficult, especially with the projectile goop. The game was more designed around using the flame turrets to protect areas and then only when you unlock the hazmat suit (4 sample stations) you can move through the goop safely and then clear areas with the antigoop (all sample stations filled). Of course you can do it somewhat with the flame turrets but it's a lot more involved.

Thanks for playing!

wow, really interesting concept! Controls are a bit overwhelming tho, but once you get the hang of them its pretty fun! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks! :) Yeah, I definitely wish I had a better job with the new player experience of the game. Lessons for next time I guess. Thanks for playing! :)

A bit confusing and a ton of text in the tutorial doesn't help but I liked it once I got the hang of it ^^

Developer (1 edit)

Yeah in hindsight , it certainly wasn't the best executed and I should really have prioritized a proper tutorial more earlier in the process. Glad you ended up liking it and hope you had a great jam. Really enjoyed your entry btw! :)

The  sounds design is a bit poor but nice game !

Developer

Thanks! I agree about the sound design. I'm pretty inexperienced with the sound side of things and didn't have much time to work on it. I'm hoping to do better with that in the future though. :)

I can hear the background when I play it, but the screen goes dark.

Developer (1 edit)

Hey, it's been fixed now if you feel like trying it again. Thanks for calling our attention to it! :)

Cool. It's actually a really fun game. I like how you need to control where the goop grows into, excellent incorporation of the jam's theme. This is one of my favorite genres, so I really liked it. The controls are a bit convoluted, but eventually I got how everything works.

Fades to black on play :/

Developer

Sorry about that, it made me sad to see too when I woke up. It's fixed now if you feel like giving it another go!

Submitted(+1)

I'm having the same issue, black screen on Play button unfortunately - Tutorial made it sound cool!

Developer (1 edit)

Hey, thanks for trying to play! It's all fixed now. I hope it feels as cool as it sounded if you give it a play. :)

Game is just fading to black when I hit play :( On web version.

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks for bringing that to my attention! It turned out that I had a tween causing a problem in the web build after exporting. It's fixed now.!
