Fun and chaotic idea!
Turning slime into smile was rewarding! While a little repetitive, I think adding more types can create large puzzle variety.
(The UI had a bit small text and some buttons didn’t seem to work, but it didn’t stop me from playing :))
Nice application of the theme! I think it got a little repetitive after a while, but I like how you tried to vary the blobs by giving them different behaviours. Thanks for trying my game too!
Thank you! Yeah I absolutely agree, hopefully when I introduce new rules and blobs it will be a bit more interesting :D
That was really fun, I played through the whole thing! Clever puzzle game. Sometimes the guys would run behind the UI and you couldn't see them anymore but otherwise everything worked great.
Check out our game if you have a minute :)
Yeah I noticed that too right before posting the game. Will definitely work on that - either by zoom, area blocking or be able to move the blobs around clicking and dragging. :D Thank you so much for playing the game! Happy you enjoyed it! :D
Really fun and chaotic idea 😄 I liked how the chain reaction mechanic constantly creates unexpected situations.
The game has a very playful energy and fits the jam theme nicely.
Thank you :D
Well this was a cute little game. I loved how connecting the shy guy in a griend group made them smile :D Lovely. Great job. Music was pretty catchy :D
Haha yeah I was quite happy with the look of shy guy too. Was also thinking about adding some more "characters" with different behaviours, but didnt have time for the jam - but maybe later :D
I clicked on this game because it had pictures of cute slimes, and I was not disappointed with the content!
It's simple while remaining fun. It does get repetitive when there isn't a new mechanic or idea between two concurrent levels. The shy purple slimes are a nice concept, there could be an opposite type: a slime which only makes friends with another currently friendless slime, for example. As it is, the game doesn't overstay its welcome, even with 20 levels.
I like the graphics, the music and the sounds. I do like that the slimes move around the screen, that makes the interactions far more interesting than if they were simply sitting around. However, the size of the UI does hide the hearts for some wandering slimes, especially in the final level I found that two yellow slimes spent a lot of time wandering around beneath the instruction box at the top.
Thank you so much for playing the game and for all the great feedback! :D Yeah I do agree it is a bit repetitive right now. Was planning on making different rules and blobs so it wouldn't be as bad, but didn't have time for the jam - but maybe later :D I also noticed the UI problem at the very end before posting, so that definitely needs tweaking :)
Interesting idea, and solid level design.
Thank you!
The game is very cute! I liked how each level builds on the previous one so it stays fresh. I did get confused by some of the hints in the later stages.
Thank you! :D Do you remember what levels or hints you thought was confusing ? Then I can make it more clear :)
I forgot which levels but I think it was above 9 or so. Great work nonetheless!
Fun! It's a little tricky understanding the more complex riddles and how you should connect them, but overall it's a great puzzle system.
Thank you! :D
Really fun game! The gameplay is simple but surprisingly enjoyable, and I had a great time playing it. Nice work!
Thank you so much! :D
Good game. UI visuals/font sizes needed to be adjusted a bit. Sometimes it was hard to read. Music and sounds in combination made a great impact on the game feel.
Yeah absolutely agree on the font sizes, especially the pause menu! Thank you so much for playing the game!
Cool concept. Great visuals. I didnt understand well enough the rules, it made the connections harder, and thats the challenging part of the game. You nailed the theme and delivered!
Thank you so much! Do you remember which level(s) you struggled with - then I could try and polish it and make it a bit more clear :D
Nice work. Fun to play.
For me the undo button does not appear to work.
Thank you! Hmm, strange, I am not able to replicate the bug. It only works after making a connection. Is it still not working after a connection? And if so is it a spesific level or all the time?
I tried to replicate but it is working perfectly now, not sure what happened last time.
Cool game, did the first couple of levels and enjoyed it quite a lot. Would totally see this as cool little puzzle game to play during my commute
Thank you! Yeah, I have been thinking it would be nice to work more on it and make it available on mobile. But I definitely need to make more blobs, environments and different rules to make it interesting enough for that :)
Superfun to play. I love the art and music. Bit confused in this state:
Aren’t they all connected? But the level didn’t complete
Thank you! Looks like the one red blob doesnt have a connection to the rest ;)
Really fun to play. Nice challenge. Well done.
Thank you! :D
Great game, super simple rules and easy entry to gameplay. It felt too easy at first but I'm glad I kept going, as the new rules are introduced it starts getting tricky around level 6 or 7. Addictive!
Thank you for checking it out and for the feedback! :D
interesting game, it actually had me thinking about how real life friend groups are connected.
Thank you! :D
