Developer

THANK U!

Submitted(+2)

Really pretty game! The idea is very cool, quite challenging for me at least and sound would have been a nice touch, but overall a very good game!

Developer

thank u for the feedback! 

Submitted(+2)

The idea was pretty creative but I did miss some audio tho

Developer(+1)

u did :( we all did! it's in the works for a new release

Submitted(+2)

Pardon my language but holy shit what a good-looking game! Combine that with a creative application of the theme and generous controls, and you get the most impressive game I've gotten to play so far! Good job!

Developer (1 edit)

Wow thank you for the glowing praise, it (pardon my language) heckin' rocks to hear when people enjoy something you worked really hard on, so thank you for playing!

Submitted(+2)

I love the artwork for this, so original and lovingly made! I love that you can see the marker/ink strokes in the blacks and the stippling, and the collage backgrounds for the pop of color to make every level feel unique and surreal! The animation on the slime and character was also great. And the remote hand! I just love how original and lovingly drawn all the visuals are.

The mechanic with the recording + boom power that is the only thing that effects you from the recording was pretty original! It was hard to put my head around at first, so I wish it was somehow more intuitive or better explained to start, but once I understood it, I really enjoyed puzzling out the levels. I like that most of them aren’t too difficult that I’d feel stuck haha.

The ending monster animation was also very sick!

Developer

Thanks for giving the time and care to make a thoughtful response like that, we’re delighted you liked it!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such lovely words with us. The black marker strokes is something that the artist is very proud of as well, for the vibe it gives. It really means so much that you appreciate all the details and thought put into the work. It is definitely a work of love, and glad it shows!

The art is really really cool! And very good use for the theme!

It was a bit hard to getting into it because of the lack of music/sounds and the pulse mechanic wasn't very clear on what it does, it required a bit of experimentation ^^

Good job!

Developer(+1)

So glad you were able to experiment your way into getting it and that it (hopefully) felt rewarding to do so!


We’re also deeply bummed we didn’t have the time/headspace to get sounds and music added in the jam time, but we hope to put it all together in a future release with more levels that would teach those things you had to figure out through experimentation. Thanks for playing!

Immaculate vibes and really cool art direction.

Very creative premise and mechanics too!

NICE!

Developer

Immaculate comment.


SLIMED! thank you

Submitted(+1)

Absolutely love the art. That stood out the most. Took me a long time to realize how to get past the first screen ngl LOL

Developer

Hope you felt proud figuring out that first screen though, because we didn’t give you much to work with to figure it out haha. Nice work! Thanks for playing!

artstyle was pretty cool!! wished if there was alil bit more audio to the game!

Developer

Us, too :’)


Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Art style is very stand out. Your game concept is still fresh and modern. Puzzle and level design are well craft. The only concern is audio seems missing. Good work overall. 

Developer(+1)

Audio isn’t just missing: it doesn’t exist :’(
Unfortunately it was at the bottom of list of priorities for inexperienced jammers like us who just barely got together the final game you saw. We’re definitely adding some after the jam though, and more levels.


Thanks for playing!

This is so cool. I was instantly drawn into this game with the art. It is so well done, great submission!

Developer

thank u for the kind words!

Submitted(+2)

This was really nice, I love the pop surrealist vibe it's giving off!

Developer

hell yeah! thank u <3

Submitted(+1)

Very fun art. I wonder what kinda music would go with it. Love the pulse mechanic.
Could have a better tutorial, using escape as a hotkey for web browser games is problematic

Developer

Frank Zappa's I'm The Slime was the direct influence for the artwork by our art director; try giving it a listen on your next playthrough ;)

Tutorial and ESC key are things that fell through the cracks due to our inexperience and the time constraint, will for sure fix that for future releases. We feel like this turned out good enough to see it through to a more complete release after the jam. Thanks for playing!!

Submitted(+2)

Cool concept and graphics!

Developer(+1)

<3

Submitted(+1)

This feels very avant garde, I love it! Having an extra button for example "tab" to open menu could be nice because I was playing in fullscreen and the browser exits fullscreen when I pressed esc ;_;

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it! Being inexperienced as we are (only 2nd jam for one of us, first for the other three), we only now realised the ESC issue :'( Bummer we overlooked that. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

Pretty cool!

Developer

thanks!

Submitted(+2)

Great artwork! The gameplay was kind of hard, but fun to figure out, and the GIFs really helped. The sprites, animations, background, and overall vibe were all very nice. Congrats!

Developer(+1)

thank u for the feedback, glad the gifs helped and u got enjoy the game!

Submitted(+2)

What the heck! The creativity and art style here are off the charts awesome. Encountering physical media and artwork in a digital space like this makes this game such a unique and standout experience. Using magazine cutout collages and similar as backgrounds for your levels is one of the coolest things I have ever seen in a jam on itch. 10/10, will be creeping your Insta

Developer

Thanks so much for the love for the physical media creations! If only our coders could keep up with our artists you'd see way more that didn't make it into the jam. Definitely check our their insta and follow this space for a fuller release down the line that will take in the things people have shared here. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Cool idea ! I had a hard time understanding at first but the gif on the page explained it well.

Good job !

Developer(+1)

Our artists working overtime making the game beautiful and understandable, so glad the extra work paid off so you could enjoy the game fully!

Submitted(+1)

I don't know why i didn't mention the style but the POV with the TV and the whole art makes it real great !

Submitted(+1)

Really creative mechanic and beautiful artwork, well done!

Developer

Thank you, ditto for your game!
