The game is not bad, but needs a goal. Graphics are not the best I've seen, but it's not too bad.

The installer is not a great idea.

Thanks for the feedback :) I'm not much of an artist, but I'll try my hand at 3D models next time. I have added a unity webplayer

Hm.. Interesting concept. Although it was too hard for me I actually liked it ;)

Liked it! Very innovative and fits the theme. I actually really liked the minimal graphics, reminded me of "The Unfinished Swan". A brief description of controls would help me be confident that I'm not missing some aspect (like a way to attack the red orbs?)

Overall nice!

Like the concept, seemed to be quite a challenge to get away from the blobs! Fortunately I ended up jumping so high it went to blue screen and stayed airborne until I completed the level :D

Interesting idea, well executed. Pretty hard but enjoyed.

It was a great idea but a little hard. I had a great time plying it though, nice work!

Thanks everyone! I didn't realize it was so hard. In hindsight I should have gone ahead and added some highscore features :)

Really interesting concept, but I got confused at some parts. The ink spots remain present after restarting the game, and the red blob remains alive 'inside' me after jumping on it, so it still kills me. The control scheme is pretty slick, the jumps and attacks work quite well.

The control where unusual but fun and the visual effect were cool.
Good job!

that's a clever mechanic. became really difficult to collect your bits and pieces as time went on. right mouse button on the web player generally doesn't work either, sadly. overall, great submission!

Really like the concept, but it feels lacking. some music would be a nice touch.

I suck at this game. My strategy so far, never use the left mouse button as it costs too much health to move around. The only downside is that you have to wait for 10 seconds until the first enemies arrive.
The right mouse button opens a context menu on the web player, which is kind of annoying - would be cool if you could fix this in case you make an improved version.

I liked the idea of this game! I agree with above comments that a goal would be nice, but even something as simple as a points system would fix that. The sound was good, and the mechanics worked well.

Really interesting concept - I think this could be a great mobile game with some more defined goals and a coat of polish :)

Nice gameplay mechanics, I like that controls!
