Hmm, there's weird glitches front the first levels I enter (from the map view). First one on the left side loads the one shown in your screenshot, but then the cell organism is stuck below the grey rock (top left).

Second level was where there's a tombstone in the bottom right corner. I was jumping to find my way out, but the cell kept flickering in position and didn't always respond to my jump key-presses.

Looks like you put a lot of work into the art though! Which I could of played it through some more.

I can tell you made an excellent effort in the graphics, unfortunately I had the same issue as chamberlainpi.

Fun, sounds were a bit weird, no background music.

A couple of bugs but overall pretty fun

retrona 2012-08-27 04:07

Pretty fun.

I had a problem continually where my guy would spawn in a level that was completely black, then fall and after a few seconds, the level would display with no option but to hit the refresh button.

Works pretty well, but I jumped off the level as soon as I got my legs

Great effort on the graphics and the idea, but I did encounter the same glitches as chamberlainpi did.

A little buggy, but what Ludum game isn't. It was really cool to see my little pink blob suddenly sprout legs =)

Yeah I also got stuck in the ground in that area pictured in your screen shot. For the record the game seemed the same to me in both Firefox and Chrome.

Nice graphics for short time. I managed to ... well I'd not say crash the game... I think it's more of a "character goes invisible and can't move anymore" type of situation...
Also for all other raters: play it in firefox or IE, not Chrome!

brother-byto 2012-08-27 09:47

What bayesian said also happened to me.

Graphics and idea are really good, though.

Got stuck the middle of a platform and couldn't get out, I tried on Rockmelt, Chrome, Firefox, IE it happened to me on all of them but IE, because IE crashed on loading the game. Don't worry, I blame IE not you.

fun game but VERY glitchy

sheep 2012-08-27 16:03

@foxor *some* people are not responsible enough to have legs, it seems ;)

porter 2012-08-27 16:52

In the level where everyone is getting stuck in the ground (happened to me too, I refreshed), I made it to the totem poll, then somehow jumped into the sky and never came back haha.

Nice effort on the art, you clearly tried there. Good job overall, it's simply incomplete.

i like the moving/crawling sound of the creature... :-)

nostradamon 2012-08-27 17:50

I like the exploring aspect of the game! The graphics and the sounds are pretty funny too :)
It just needs a title screen and some music according to me.

zkenshin 2012-08-27 19:07

Same issues with getting stuck in the terrain, but nice graphics :)

gbellgames 2012-08-27 21:34

The game is way too buggy to be any playable. I've lost my blob a few times, other times I teleport to places in the map that I don't think I should teleport, I am able to jump when I shouldnt....

The graphics are nice, but being so buggy, it's basically unplayable and not fun.

keenblaze 2012-08-27 22:30

Sounds are great :D

rwos 2012-08-27 22:57

Nice animations! The controls don't work in Firefox 10 (on Linux) for me - but Chrome worked. Audio is minimal but I found it fitting to the graphical style.

Sadly, I got stuck in level 5 or so, after my creature obtained legs. Are the computers supposed to do something or are they just decoration?

zatyka 2012-08-27 23:08

I got stuck a few times, but I liked the idea. I'd love to play a finished version.

Also, I loved the main character's sprite.

dakowta 2012-08-27 23:40

Very nice. Pity on not finishing it.

pixelulsar 2012-08-28 20:00

I went in a room and just got stuck in the wall. Would like to see past there though

bvanschooten 2012-08-30 20:15

A potentially nice platformer with good graphics. I've only seen two screens, I've no idea how to progress from there. Eventually I got stuck in a tree and the game seemed to freeze after that.

evilseanbot 2012-09-05 00:41

I really like the animation and they're little smooshing sounds. If you baked this a little bit more I'd definately like to see what you came up with.

alwaysinbeta 2012-09-17 22:39

Great graphics and nice idea. I like the squelchy walking sound. Crashed at some point for me. Def worth finishing.

mstrp2ez 2012-09-17 23:21

Thanks everyone for testing, i am aware of the glitches and all the peculiar "features" in the game. I'm a bit sad that i could'nt complete it in any kind of proper way, but i'll try to make a post-entry version. Stay tuned for that. Again, thanks for testing!
