Neat idea. I like how you have to use the ladders to jump higher.

This is so hard lol It took me 5 times to not drown while getting the 2 left-most capsules! I love the blob animation, it feels sticky and heavy. No music though?

I know that this was not the intent but the "You Were" at the end is eerie. It's a really spooky way of telling you that you died... Woah man...

Hi there. Got to end of level but not all capsules. Found it a bit of an eye strain, so tiny. Nice sounds stuck ladder climbing. Good job!

Neat game. Unfortunately, bad collision detection can be the death knell for a platforming game, and it seems to be the case here. Otherwise pretty neato.

Don't mind the newgrounds guys tearing you apart; they do it to everyone.

It was *almost* very good. The ladders were a little buggy and the green toxic could be slowed down a little, or a better level design. Also there should be a reset button. Annoying to refresh the whole page. And fix the text, it just shows half of it. Fix those and it would be quiet fun! : )

Interesting physics behavior, simple game, easy to understand. Maybe two levels more with increasing difficulty would be a plus ? :)

Innovation n/a: It isn't innovative... It isn't bad but I can't rate that category.

Fun 3/5: Difficult and with only one level, but a good one.

Theme 3/5: Simply ran in a single screen.

Graphics 4/5: Cute retro style, glitchy jump animation.

Mood 4/5: I felt a bit nervous because the green liquid was going up.

Overall 3/5: Too simple, but continue with that idea, you can make something awesome!

Funny what a huge difference the green slime coming up from the bottom makes. :P

the controls are really solid, great platforming!
However there are some problem with the animation when you collide with walls.

solarexplorer 2014-12-22 03:11

controls are a little difficult

You seemed to launch off when you got to the top of a ladder, which was sort of odd. Fun game though!
