Love the unique time based mechanic. Bit hard and I didn't see how it fit into the theme, though.

One of the funnest LD games I've played! The graphics are stellar from the cursor right down to the font; I love the retro arcade vibe. The instructions are really helpful and capture that old-school arcade vibe as well. The gameplay itself is original and fun. It has a couple of cool touches that I like, for example the fact that you can't drag a jelly over an existing one, and that you can continue from the same level you lost on. The music is great to boot. If there was one thing I would change, it would be to add some features that make it conform to the theme a little better. I get that it would take more time, but one idea I had would be to maybe make it so that combining groups of jellies would make them into new, larger jellies with different properties. Maybe half metal and half regular makes wooden jellies, which can take one hit and then turn into regular ones again. Overall a rockin' game! I had a blast playing it. What a great job for a two-day submission! Thanks for sending it in, hope you do great in the compo :D

Pretty damn hard, but beautiful aesthetics and sound. Excellent work!

Quite difficult, nice pixel art!

I really loved this one! The graphics and sounds were clean! The only problem was that it barely fit the theme...

Very complete and good looking game. The mechanics is very well made.
Might be nice to have an indicator of how much time you got left.

really interesting! Nice take on the theme too, shifting shapes... heh
but yeah the art and music are amazing!
nice job!

I've had so much fun on playing this game, really challenging gameplay with awesome retro graphics. Really fits well with the theme. Thumbs up on this!

Super hard and addictive. It's so much fun though. I love the sound and graphics, and it's a really cool game. Too bad it isn't really related to the theme (Unless there's something more to it in the later stages) but if you had that mechanic (at least in the beginning if there is one) it would have been phenomenal! Overall, a great game!

Fantastic. Good lateral use of theme. Polished and playable. Is a little bit difficult.

Cool game mechanic. Solid puzzler and great graphics ;)

I liked the gameplay (though it was pretty hard), and the graphics were pretty nice, overall pretty good, maybe give a little more time to move those little jellies!

Well polished game, but all the fast arrow pressing let me kinda cold. Maybe with a limited amount of moves?

mdelally 2016-04-20 04:55

Loved the sounds and graphics. Mouse control might have made it a little bit easier to play, but I enjoyed it.

Love everything about visuals and audio. The problem I had with this game is the gamplay. It's all about solving puzzles fast, but since it basically impossible to make a level on the first try, it loses the whole puzzle aspect and suddenly your just a block trying to move around as fast as you can. Instead of having you play enough times to memorize all the moves, you could actually get a chance solving the puzzle by playing the level.

Anyway, that's just a opinion. Good luck!

Liked the graphic. Like the idea but is too strongly based on reflex and not enough on puzzle.

avinashd 2016-04-20 21:32

A lot of the games I really loved were the simple ones, including this one :)

ellian 2016-04-21 00:32

I had fun playing this, and the graphics are great. Kind of slow, but apparently bug free and easy to control.
Solid entry!

jakass 2016-04-22 17:10

Great Idea!!!

celmore1001 2016-04-22 17:38

Absolutely one of the best games I've played.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

adcrusher 2016-04-26 12:09

Thanks :D

The sound is great, except there's one sound between levels which was sometimes annoyingly loud, so I had to turn it off :(

emmelineprufrock 2016-05-10 00:12

Pretty difficult, but I liked the look and feel of it.

onlyslightly 2016-05-10 00:12

Super polished! It felt like a legit game for the super nintendo. Great concept and very challenging. Great job!
