The basic gameplay is solid, but also repetitive. This is mainly caused by there only being one game mechanic (oozing) and the level consisting only of rectangular rooms with one or two spacemen each.

With a few more mechanics like jumping, dashing or changing shape (you don't need to hide in a closet if you can turn into an innocuous fern!) and more varied level design with multiple passages around the place and exploration (try Metroidvanias and Gunpoint for reference) these faults could be rectified.

I like the graphics and music (too bad audio isn't one of the rating categories). Overall a good job for a first go.

I just left this on to listen to the music.

Music is super cool!

Even if you did rush things, the game came out quite fun and cute! The game is quite simple but, for what it proposes to do, it's quite well done!

I really liked the slime sfx while moving. :)

Game didnt work for me melted as soon as I enter first room. Likein the music tho go daddy go daddy go!

The music is really nice, and honestly I think this has quite a potentital. The stealthy monster gameplay sounds fun, however in it's current form it's extremely repetitive, in the end the challenge and the solution stays the same, and the game only really requires patience to be completed.

Haha good work on the theme. Also love the sound it makes when you hide in the cupboard. Took me a while to work out you died if the space men face you so very frustrated at first. Great idea love the retro mood.

Great retro style music and nice graphics. I enjoyed the gameplay too.

Simple but well done.

The game is really cool !
The only miss is to make a more understandable door system. I think it's not clear that astronaut dont shot you when u are behind a "wall part".
But overall, it's good !

And thanks for the comment :D

Great job for your first game! At first, I was quite confused, but once you get the game - its pretty good! I included it in part 4 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/NqmWO8MUX6c

This was pretty difficult, the guards seemed to be super-human blob killing machines! I liked the overall look of the game

Great artwork and fun gameplay. I enjoyed gooing the astronauts. I'd love to hear some sounds under it, but it was fine that way too. Nice to see an other C2 game here.

Very nice visuals. It would have been better with a bit more variety, and as you mentioned, there are a few things that feel unfinished. Congrats on your first games and LD! Hope you participate again.

Awesome game, Really liked the gameplay and the animation of the player. Well done!

colludium 2015-08-29 21:35

Good first entry. Enjoyed the music and animations/art. Some triggers weren't robust (running animation when at idle) and some of the astronauts were off screen for a long time... and I'm impatient :). Nice one!

Good game. ^^

Fun Game, but after you kill 4 or 5 astronauts, it turns a little repetitive and boring.
Nice retro game music. xD
