How does your game fit the theme?
My game features players controlling a jellyfish polyp, where each move consumes its own life energy to spawn ephyrae—jellyfish larvae of different colors. As a countdown of remaining splits ticks away, each division requires strategically allocating limited life energy to navigate the path forward.

Smart puzzle game! I liked the artwork as well, congrats!

Submitted

Truly amazing puzzle game! As a guy who also chose puzzle game in the submission, I really appreciate what you have done in level design in 4 days. Great job!

Submitted

One of my favorites I played! It took me a moment to understand how to play, but it finally clicked. I got stuck on 1-8. I'll be revesting this one! Love a good puzzle game.

Submitted

Very cute, I liked it a lot. was a bit confused about the mechanics at first, but after a couple levels it started making sense. Well done!

Submitted

Wow, very Baba is You. I felt the puzzles we pretty intuitive and satisfying to solve, though it took some trial and error to understand the rules of when I could or couldn't push a stack, or when I would or wouldn't leave a polyp behind. Still, cute theme and well executed, good job!

Submitted

Probably the best rendition of this take on the theme. The puzzles are cleverly designed and I think what sets it apart (besides the beautiful visuals) is all the mechanics of the larvae. Great job!

Instant 5 out of 5. Was expecting sokoban when I saw it but it's not, in a way, when playing it. Very fun mechanic, really easy to get on with, and it's incredible that the concept comes from real life? not I mean mother nature. Levels are clever. Very impressive!

Submitted

The design is minimalist, yet it gives rise to rich emergent phenomena.

Submitted

This game is really addicting. I had so much trouble figuring out the puzzles but I just kept playing. Almost the exact same feel as playing baba is you.

What a clean, intuitive game with some real depth. That little twist on the spatial puzzle/pathing genre really worked for me! I enjoyed how the whole point of most scenarios is to find a way to cheat the move timer. Also, the various transformations where I move, leave a little polyp behind, cheat some moves out, then collect part of what I let behind felt great. Easily one of the best games in the jam.

This is brilliant, well done! Really clever mechanics and puzzle design, and I'm a big fan of the Baba-like aesthetics. The game feels really well polished too. I hope it gets more attention, you've done a really good job here.

Feel free to check out my game too if you get the chance, it's another puzzle one :)

The artwork is soooooo cute! Match so much the vibe of the game. 

It's cosy, and still challenging, great, great game!

Submitted

Excellent game! Love seeing fellow puzzle makers. The idea and mechanics are so creative, the levels are really well designed, the art is beautiful and the music and sound are really nice!

Submitted

Muy buen juego,  el lvl desing esta muy bien armado

Submitted

The level is so well designed, my brain is burning

Submitted

Great work on the artwork. I liked the simplicity of the game.

Submitted

Nailed the aesthetic for this one! Simple, effective and cute. 

The core mechanic with the limited amount of steps seems to be a common one for a lot of the puzzle games this jam, but then you twisted it with the blob-pushing mechanic. Seemed a little glitchy at first (like level 1-5) but then it started making sense. Very clever use and exploration of that mechanic in the later levels too.

Most well-rounded of the puzzle games I have tried, very nice work!

great puzzles!

Submitted

I love the idea of this game soooo cute aoww and the art is amazing! Its really complicated and worth playing 🌟
