Going full chill would probably make more sense. I was thinking about finding a way non health related to have the goo affect the player.
Ran out of time brainstorming because I had to make other parts of the game.
I also have a few sprites I didn’t use, I have a scientist sprite that when they touch a goo would turn into the sludge monster and spread more goo. Garry would come in and turn them back into scientists.
