How was this made in 4 days?!
Everything about this game is phenomenal from the gameplay mechanics, the story, the level design to the graphics, sound effects and music! Seriously if it weren't for the fact that this was made for a game jam, I would've thought I was commiting piracy by playing this for free. I love just how cute the blue blob is as well as its moveset that feels really good after getting used to it. The story between the blob and the professor didn't had to do more than explain why there's a day countdown, but it goes over the concepts of chasing success vs being with your friends, and it even made me care for the characters... FOR A BLOODY JAM GAME!
In my opinion, you win GTMK 2026, hands down.
Pretty neat game, trying to speedrun the last few games I wanted to try before voting’s over so I didn’t get very far in this one (mainly as there was a rather difficult jump and I have a bit of a gripe with the shift key, lol.) But the movement in the game felt pretty good.
Thanks for playing! You can also use right shift for two-handed playing, but after the jam I'll add an alternate control scheme using arrow keys and Z/X, since multiple people have pointed this out, thanks.
I’m a bit of a monster and use the F key as a replacement for shift, lol
Screw it, I've got plenty of keyboard space, I'll add F as grapple :P
Once I got past the tutorial, the controls felt second-nature to me. Really enjoyed both the gameplay and the story here as well.
Really cool! Amazing what you've done in this amount of time! It's fun and it works well!
I only think it gets a little repetitive to do the same levels over and over to repair systems, but at the same time it's nice to know exactly where to go. I think this was just the right amount of time for this.
Also, some levels are really hard (the piston and gear rooms) and doing the gears as my first level was a bit of a rough introduction xD maybe limit the first day to only 1-2 steps and make those levels in reach easy to ease in the player a bit.
Also also, some checkpoints would be nice, I died just before the exit a few times and having to redo most of the level is a bit annoying.
Those are really nitpicks though! I really enjoyed it and got an 85% S rank :D
Really good and fun game!!
I just wish it had 2 things:
1. More levels!!
2. Gamepad support :3
Ah crap, I actually do have controller support in my code but I forgot to enable it (literally one line of code 😭). I'll do a tiny update when the jam ends, thank you for pointing it out! And thank you for playing!
This game is insane. I struggled with the controls at first, but after I started playing with both hands (using the Right Shift key), it became really satisfying. Your art, gameplay, mechanic are very good, tho. Great job!
