Too late to rate it, but since there's no Linux build...

Trying to keep the blooms alive was fun. And it even somehow looked good despite the lack of textures. My PB was 21 bloobs. Some seemed to die on the elevator type platform randomly which felt bad though.

Developer

hey thanks so much for trying it out.  yes the elevator part is unfortunate. I didnt actually make the level layout until the couple hours or so of the jam using the different obstacles and platforms I programmed. So I noticed too late to fix it and just had to submit.

Great game! I'm impressed with how solid everything feels given the time allowed

oh thanks a lot for such a nice comment. Maybe I spent too long on bug fixes along the way. I threw the level togethr in the last few hours of the Jam. I was originally going to update the textures and models of the environment, but leaned into polishing the code instead. 

Submitted

I thought this game was hilarious and had an awesome style! I knew that clicking interacted with the obstacles, but at times I wasn't sure what clicking them would actually do. But it was a fun puzzler!

Developer

Thanks so much for trying it out! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the feedback too

This is a big wow! It feels great to play, while the models seem to be placeholder and prototyping they don't actually look like it, instead getting a sort of style along with it. It was really fun high marks all around except for theme, I couldn't see the theme in the game. Perhaps you could clarify that point a bit?

Also, as a guy, I do like bloobs.

Developer

hey thanks so much for the comment! So my idea was originally  "Death is only the beginning... of making Jam!" a play on the fact it's a game Jam and the wee bloobs die regardless, once you get to the end.  I maybe could have added that tagline somewhere at the end or tried a bit harder to convey the idea. 

Submitted

oooh! I get it, they get put in the can at the end to become jam. That makes sense. I will update my rating. :)

A great lemmings style game, it looks so professional.
I was genuinely shocked that this is your only itch game, I get the impression you've made many games.

hey thanks for taking the time to try it out, it really means a lot to me! its my second Game Jam, but the first was a team of 6 where i was solely an environment artist. I've been learning to program in unreal with the GameDev.tv tutorials. This is my first time doing everything myself though. I am really humbled I've given off a professional feel, thank you.

I'm not sure how this game really goes with the jam theme.  however, it's really one of my favorites to play in the jam.  I laughed so much playing this.  The camera work is perfect.  the music selection is good.  The controls are simple and I think you could really expand this game out if you wanted to.  Well done.

Developer

hey sorry the theme was a bit lost. originally it was "death is just the beginning... of making Jam" If I had a bit more time I would have tried to make this a bit more obvious. Thank you so much for downloading, trying and leaving such a nice comment!

The game was stupid fun LOL except when the bloobs got squished, I felt awful lololol

Developer

haha thanks for playing, it means a lot!

My hat goes off to all the fallen bloobs on this little journey. These bloobs will always be in my heart and mind. Super fun concept and perfect energetic music!

Developer

hey thank you so much for playing, it means a lot you took the time to download it 

Submitted

nice game really liked the goofeyness of the character and really good camera

Developer

hey thanks a lot for taking the time to play my game!

Submitted

Very nice game. Is just relax and take care of little bloobs to finish there legendary adventure. GJ

Developer

hey thanks so much for trying it out!

Submitted

Haha, very charming. The animations added a lot, The blue blood effects when the little bloobs got hit was brutal. Having them turn into jam at the end was a nice touch. The levels weren’t very challenging, as you can just spam click to stop all of the obstacles, maybe if the game forced you to think mroe of the timings? The camera was very impressive, the preset angles gave the game a sort of tv style.

thank you very much for trying out my game. yeah i was torn about the difficulty level, some people found it too hard as it is others too easy!
