It's a cool idea, but I think it's too hard to control.

I think using a spring coil was a really cool idea, its simple but it really adds to the challenge of the game.

Trainbow ConnectionVery nice idea. I like how you made this concept work. Great jam game.

Cyro - Ball and ChainThis was a neat game! It was a little hard to control, but I guess that's the point here, huh? I wonder if it would be easier to control by having one slime be controlled with the arrows keys and the other being controlled with WASD instead of having to switch between the two characters.

Sausage Linked!No, those felt OK to me, and the challenge of the spring is essential to the game. I meant the control scheme, in that I had to stop and think about what buttons to press, and in what sequence, to get the outcome I wanted. Something more intuitive, maybe WASD and arrow keys simultaneously (instead of switching), would have let me focus on the game instead of the controls. Or maybe it would be better with a controller?
Did you try different control schemes, or was this just the one that made sense and you stuck with it?
first of all great job
second I like the mechanic it's just very hard to control

Family GatheringAlways down for more slime games. I liked the spring mechanic, it reminded me of Knuckles' Chaotix, but it's easier to control here. One problem I had is that sticking to ceilings was really difficult, a lot of the time it seemed to just not work. If some of the issues like that were evened out, this would be really cool.

Turn the TideThank you! Honestly, we just went with the slimes cause they were easy to animate but I'm happy you liked it :D. Never heard of Knuckles' Chaotix looks fun though. It feels great knowing you found our game easier to control than SEGA's :). And also I had no idea you could stick to ceilings and tried to make it so that you would only stick to the ground below you, so interesting discovery :D I guess I didn't do a great job explaining where you can stick. Thank you though glad you liked it overall <3
P.S. I still can't manage to stick to the ceiling. How did you do it? :D Could you please send a screenshot if possible?
Oh lol, I assumed it was an intentional mechanic
On trying to recreate it, it's much more obvious that it's a bug, here's a gif of it. https://imgur.com/L32EMcn
Good idea. However the physics make them very difficult to control

Kite Boy: Ride the WindReally cute! Loved the art! The controls were a bit weird at first, but once you get the hang of it it is pleasently enjoyable, even though it can get frustrating at times. Good work!

Inferno - GMTK2021I like the concept but it was a bit clunky to control. Overall a nice game, good job!

Inferno - GMTK2021I like the good feel of this games!
The controls are a little hard for me. Expecially the button layout.
Nice graphics by the way!

The Alchemy StudentA creative take on the theme, but was a bit frustrating to move around. Good work! Sorry I am so bad at your game :\
