Hi I love the visuals! I think you'll our game too! It is a little bit similar!

Really simple concept but super solid execution! The game is really stylistic and really satisfying to play and watch unfold! Only thing I would really recommend is to maybe tweak the movement of the player's regular state a bit more to make it a bit more satisfying to move around and attack because as of now it is slightly sluggish.

Developer

Thanks a lot Kreekakon! I'm not sure if you knew you can use Space to Dash. We didn't make that clear at all. But regardless, we are still working on this game and freedom of movement is on the top of our list :)

Okay, it's really nice! I like how the game is swarming with cool ideas, your health-bar is actually an ingame entity that you can shoot, bonus to collects transform into ennemies with time, ennemies blending together! It's great and, well, the out of control part is really out of control ^^

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing Quentin! Your game is great fun too :)

Game feels like a blast to play, meshes well with the theme, and has an energetic aesthetic to boot. Overall an excellent game!

Really cool concept! Love the simple but effective visuals, paired with great particle effects! Very well polished.

Great work!

I have to give this a full rating. There are so many interesting mechanics that I'm not going to list, though the fact that you have to protect something that's not you makes it really original and the second game state with a lot of effects (I'm saying this only for advertising) is similar to my game, so why not give it a try :P
But I have to admit yours is very polished, balanced, and damn I love those effects!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Glad you had a lot of fun. I'll be sure to check out your game.

Lots of neat ideas in this jam. The "control" bar instead of health, how enemies split and join each other. Love it. Really juicy as well.

My eyes hurt! But in a good way. Well done.

Looks great, awesome stuff!!

The "out of control" sequence was super unexpected, it was crazy and super cool! The combat itself was pretty good, maybe make the player move faster while out of control?

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Did you try using Spacebar to dash? We noticed many people didn't know you can dash, we'll be making some updates to make sure people know about this ability in future!

Quirky and juicy little game!
The out of control aspect was really cool, changing the game from saving the green blob from the reds, to saving the green blob from yourself.
Really nice work!
If I had to nitpick, it would just be that the player moved around a bit too slowly.

Really love this. It's fun to play and has an amazing concept. It feels extremely polished with the great sound and particle effects. Great game. However the player felt a bit slow

Very cool game. My only complaint is that I felt out of control, but that's the theme so that's good I suppose.

Submitted(+1)

Love the design work here, everything works in service of the theme and leaves plenty of space for interesting moment to moment decisions.


Wonderful job, congratulations on finishing it!

Losing control is both awesome and terrifying!

Submitted(+2)

The way you go on a killing spree when you take enough damage reminds me of the NES  dr jekyll and mr hyde game how you set yourself back. Good use of pros/cons trade off. But holy crap, that out of control mode was uhhh out of control.

Ohh my god, this is amazing and needs more attention, I am totally in love with your game
