It sounds like you yourself do the voice-over for the game characters. A very interesting game

End life plan
Our project is open source (aside from branding elements), like all of our projects will be. More so, our code and assets are both under copyleft licenses (though some third party assets have different licenses).
Basically this means that if our code or assets are used in other projects, the source code for those projects, and our assets and their derivatives, would also need to be open source. This helps spread open source beyond even the initial impact of the project.
The game will also stay up on itch.io, but will also be playable on our own site, to ensure there isn't a single point of failure.
Transparency note
All gameplay was made during the jam, however we do start our projects from a template project which handles some shared needs across all projects, such as license files, git attributes, and things like project and export settings for Godot.
In terms of game code or assets, this template also includes our splash screen/company logo, code to save and load settings, and code to allow for remappable controls, and some helper functions related to setting or tracking focus on UI elements.
All other game specific code, assets, etc. were created (or in the case of third party assets like music, fonts, and a few sound effects, found) during the jam.

Yup! We did all the voice acting, even for the slime, haha.
Thanks for giving the game a try!

Yeah, the slime physics was the hardest part for sure. Most of the time working on the jam was spent on getting it to work
We're glad you liked the voice acting! If we can make time for it and it fits the game, it's always a fun thing to add in.
Thanks and thanks for playing!

Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed it
We try to strive for clean code when we can, which is definitely harder in a game jam, so we appreciate the call out!

Thanks so much! We thought it was really satisfying when you get skeleton parts inside of yourself for a bit so we were very glad we were able to keep that without making the blob physics weird.
Super cool to hear you took a look at our source code too but now we're just embarrassed we didn't get around to renaming it to slime.gd
But yeah, going in, we thought the blob system would be able to be done using just some spring joints and such and ended up spending a lot of time figuring it out when that didn't work.

Thank you! We're glad it was satisfying, that's what we were going for.
Thanks for the nice comments and thanks for playing!
Interesting story, you guys support slime! When the slime jumps, it hits the chains on the ceiling, which is awesome. And all the music and sound effects are just right.
One problem is that when I play, the slime often can't “eat” the enemies, so they stay alive and attack. Is it because the slime is too small at that point?

Oof, yeah, there's a rare chance that that can happen. We added a restart button in the pause menu solely because of that.
Sometimes the physics just can't handle all that blobbyness, haha.
Thanks for playing!
