How does your game represent "Slick"?
In this game, the player (An Octopus) has lost all of its Slickness and is 100% Sticky. You have to eat Pizza to regain your Slickness. Being "Slick" gives you a whole new Move Set. You literally gain the ability slide around.
The Sticky Move Set is reminiscent of Jump King.
The Slick Move Set is reminiscent of Super Mario 64.
The Character Controller is finely tuned and I think you will find controlling this Octopus feels very "Slick".

I hope you go to Pizzanirvana for blessing us with such a game!
btw I really love the audio design!
Thank you so much!
I really liked Slicktopus! Y’all made something really enjoyable.
I couldn’t really get used to the “sticky” move set. I’m thinking to come back later and try again to make sense of it.
Thanks!
Funny sound effects, gameplay took a bit time to get used to. The squid is cute.
thank you, cute elephant dev <3
My only complaint is that it's so short! The gameplay was slick, the graphics were slick, the sounds were slick, the game as a whole was slick! Or maybe they were sticky... how long has it been since I had pizza?
Haha glad you enjoyed it! I wish I had more time to do more levels.. but I ran out of time
Sound effects are a nice touch.
Thanks! They were fun to record

The sound effects are quite funny to listen to, just having everything from the background music to the jumping being mainly mouth sounds. I also think there's a great distinction in how your moves are affect in the sticky set and slick set, and as far as I'm aware either set can be used to complete the levels which is a nice touch. I would've liked it a bit if there were some sound effects playing when you're both charging a jump and when you're jump is fully charged. Also some indication that the slick power up is running out would be another useful feature. Would be very interesting to have future levels that dive even deeper into the mechanics of each set so you see the strengths of each even better. Fun little game you have here, nice work! Also if you'd like to check out my team's game as well, feel free to do so!
Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! Yeah there were a definitely a few more animations/indicators I would have liked to add if I hadn't run out of time, More levels as well. I will definitely check your game out!
"Zwoop!" Haha, I loved coming in and surprised by the acapella sounds and music. i love the designs as well! controls were solid, i had a lot of fun. I think I only echo the "wish I had a meter" to see how much my jump is charged.
Thanks! Glad you had fun!
The movement was pretty nice even without the slick mode! I also loved the mouth only sound effects it was pretty funny. Overall pretty nice game!
Haha thanks! Glad you enjoyed my SFX!
Really fun! Well done. Also easily my fave "box" art in the jam lol =)
Thanks so much!
Nice work, love the little Octopus guy! I really liked the pizza movement, getting a dash jump into a mid air dash felt great in the tutorial, I wish it was available more in the rest of the game! Having the pulsing head when you had full sticky jump was very helpful.
Thanks! Yeah I tried to balance how much you got to use each moveset, and I would have liked a couple more levels, but I ran out of time.
Superb sound effects! In the tutorial I thought the movement was gonna end up being a pain but the parkour ended up being a lot more fun and forgiving than I thought. Like someone else said, I found sticky mode be a lot more fun and useful since you had a lot less control in slick mode.
Thanks! Yeah I think slick mode could still use some tweaking. Momentum is preserved in the air, but you can change your direction with the mid air dash.
I have achieved pizzarvana. Felt pretty fair, thankfully I didn’t experience any major setbacks. Funnily enough I actually found sticky mode to be more useful than slick mode! Perhaps we should give sticky a chance…
The one man who sees through the Slick propaganda...
The sound effects are amazing hahahaha very difficult yet engaging!
Haha glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!
I love the stupid silly sounds oh my god lol
I'm so glad so many people like the silly sounds I recorded on my phone haha
How adorable! You have cleverly managed to combine two popular movement types in one game. It would have been nice to have some feedback how long the jump was held down, although I got used to the controls quite quickly. Great job on the game!
Thanks! Yeah I agree there could be a little more feedback on how long a jump is held down. Maybe a post jam update!
Genuinely cracking up at the audio especially the song in the tutorial zone, 10/10 no notes
haha I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
So we aren't the only ones that think octopuses are slick, genius audio design and fun game!
Thanks! Team Octo, rise up!
I like 3d platformers, so I liked this. I'm also nominating the octopus for Cutest Mascot of the jam, I hope the steering committee agrees.
thank you! I’ll be starting recall elections for any steering committee members that do not agree
Jump king octopus wants pizza, pizza good, so therefore this game is goated
