That game was absolutely awesome! Best one so far! I took me a while to understand that you can pick up the umbrella with 'E', but other than that, that's a perfect! Great work!

Nice game! The feeding mechanic felt original, I like your take on the theme. The graphics and sounds are quite cute too.

bwalter 2016-04-17 18:03

"did it hurt when you fell from heaven" was the first thing that popped into my head. great game :D smooth gameplay, and creative puzzle

2016-04-17 18:03

Great work! I love your graphics style and the concept is a nice throwback to a boy and his blob! My main issue was how finicky it is to control the slimy fellow himself.

ovidios 2016-04-17 18:20

Very nice! Reminded me a lot of "A Boy and His Blob". The art was generally nice, the full-black outlines were a little to "strong" sometimes, the animation on the slime was mostly very nice and cute and the rocket-ending was very cute too (I really liked the rocket-trail-particles). Good job!

stefvanschie 2016-04-17 18:42

Nice game. I really like the puzzle aspect of the game.

jollyserpent 2016-04-17 18:47

Very cool! I loved th creative use of the theme, especially the key and umbrella fruits.

kyuni 2016-04-17 19:27

Amazing for a compo entry, very nice!

norseware 2016-04-17 19:43

This was quite enjoyable! The little slime was just too cute :) Good job on making this in 48 hours!

qikcik 2016-04-17 20:04

Nice :D

Love it!

For future games you can use music generators (but think you will opt out those voting categories)

That's a super good game! Congrats!

pecolyte 2016-04-17 21:22

How cute! I like it!

kik0729 2016-04-17 21:25

This is really cool!
The visuals are really cute and the mechanics are solid.
The lack of music and the loud annoying sounds hurt the game, but other than that, good job!
With a bit of polishing and you're on to a great mobile game!

healogik 2016-04-17 21:41

This game have great ideas, and the blob is so cuuuuuuuute !!! Would have been better with a background music but it's very nice !

codercameron 2016-04-17 22:00

Wow this is a great game. The controls feel tight and responsive. Very good :)

legavroche 2016-04-17 22:10

This game was amazing, one suggestion I thought of is maybe changing the colors of the shapeshift to match the fruit's color as well.

hawksandwich 2016-04-17 22:10

Very cool, I love it. And I'm not even a huge fan of these kinds of games

souperstrawer 2016-04-17 22:22

I really like the idea. Graphics are simple and cute. The mechanics allow for some interesting puzzles to be made. I had some trouble getting the blob to follow me at times, which was a bit annoying and also there seemed to be some weird collision bugs at times. Despite that the game was quite enjoyable.

berserker_chris 2016-04-17 22:32

Great idea, solid made. It's a really cool plattformer puzzle. the jump and land sound is a bit to loud and to much. But the rest great job.

the_flash_point 2016-04-17 23:10

Cute characters, very interesting interpretation of the theme. Love playing it!

eye776 2016-04-17 23:10

A really nice take on "a boy and his blob".
Jumping & Landing sounds are a bit harsh though.

nnnnneeeedddd 2016-04-17 23:35

This game is amazing. Thankyou so much for this.

tauntbuttered 2016-04-17 23:49

I'm impressed, very well done!

seitnerk 2016-04-17 23:49

Nice Game! i like the characters a lot.

flummox2d 2016-04-18 05:48

Cute and cuddly blob, great puzzles and mechanics. I mean... what more could you want? Really nice work :)

aquilon96 2016-04-18 11:26

Absolutely awesome, certainly the best game I've played so far. Loved it!

studdert249 2016-04-18 11:36

Really enjoyed the feeding to shapeshift mechanic!

kiwiboi 2016-04-18 11:54

Really enjoyed this! Love the graphics, the gameplay is fun and original, very well made for a LD.
Some ambient music would be great for the setting and didn't quite get the AI, so those are the things I'd work on!

andy_voz 2016-04-18 11:56

Wow! awesome game!)

celmore1001 2016-04-18 11:56

A solid game!

conorod 2016-04-18 12:36

This is absolutely brilliant! I honestly can't fault it - great use of the theme, tight controls, excellent level design, fantastic graphics. One of the best entries I've played so far.

aaranos 2016-04-18 18:34

Clever puzzle system.

unnamed1334 2016-04-18 20:52

Cool game. I liked the sort of co-op game play but would have liked some way to call the blob instead of trying to stay between the too close and too far away distance.

2016-04-19 03:31

Adorable! I thought the blob and the main character were too cute. Loved the take on the theme and the mechanics. Adding a way to call the blob would be nice and would add the additional development of a friendship between the two characters. I would love to see this developed further!

bobsleigh 2016-04-19 04:24

Nice Game! I really like the graphics. Good little puzzles.

garys 2016-04-20 00:42

*EXCELLENT*
This game made me smile, made me laugh in places. Really good take on the theme and the gameplay is just superb.
The only thing I'd change is that it seems your little pal needs to be quite near to you before he'll move, and as you move quite quickly it'd be nice if you didn't have to go back to make him move again.

meganukebmp 2016-04-20 12:15

Sweet game. Good job. Very enjoyable and unique.

anaguilefdez 2016-04-20 12:21

Awesome game! Great game design and cute graphics. Congratz

demane_f 2016-04-20 19:56

cool :D

mango-malarkey 2016-04-20 20:09

A well made polished game! Great fun :D

vctr_seleucos 2016-04-21 11:02

Great game, well done. Really interesting concept and take on the theme, the only thing I dislike was the sound effect (a little biy annoying) and I missed some music. Other than that, good job!!

khanatos 2016-04-21 11:31

Good work! is OSOM

taviandir 2016-04-21 12:54

I quite enjoyed this! Some kind of background music wouldve made it even better.
Only improveable thing I can think of is that I would've like some more solid control over when the slimy friend did its jumps, but still managed to get through the whole game.
The umbrella falling segment reminded me of VVVVVV.

mrnannings 2016-04-21 13:06

This was awesome. I really like this kind of puzzle platformers. Cute characters also. The game is so good executed.

jungle 2016-04-23 02:29

I like a lot of the game design! Very cool game!!! Congratulations! I really have fun!

chronocrab 2016-04-23 03:57

Very good. COntrols were pretty tight, fun graphics and sound, simple yet fun mechanics. Well done.

eduardogacn 2016-04-23 04:35

good game!

sin-gaiiden2 2016-04-23 11:11

pirate_shell 2016-04-23 13:27

This was a superb entry! I loved the puzzle/platformer mix of it and I thought all the slime forms were cute and interesting to interact with. The level design was challenging but fair and I had a lot of fun wtih it. The graphics and sound were simple, but they did the job. My one issue was that the slime moved just a bit too slow for my liking, but other than that fantastic job!

kunonooni 2016-04-23 18:45

This was by far one of the most fun games I have played so far. Graphics, mechanics, level layout all superb! Thank you for making this game!

judelco 2016-04-23 19:00

Very good mechanics ! The first time i saw the slime i though he will hurt me xD

jhell 2016-04-23 21:50

Very nice job, good concept and take on the theme, and neat execution. Just missing the music :)

fin_nolimit 2016-04-23 23:05

This game is a gem!!! No doubt it will place VERY HIGH at the end!! Excellent job!

ludumanthony 2016-04-24 00:22

Really fun game, the only thing it needed was to keep your forward momentum after jumping off the train. In real life you wouldn't jump straight up, you would still have forward movement.

santiandrade 2016-04-25 18:06

I love it! The graphics and controls are awesome. And the main mechanic is original. Congratulations!

jupiter_hadley 2016-04-27 21:48

Super cute game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/7kJFcods5hA

zondarg 2016-04-30 00:21

A very good game with a very cute sidekick :D I like!!

ellian 2016-04-30 10:31

Adorable and surprising idea.
Very good work here, it's simple but very very efficient!

stevesalmond 2016-04-30 22:50

Awesome! Some very nice 'a-ha' moments in there. I found the train run sequence a bit tricky but it was worth persevering to get through it. ;) Very interesting mechanic, well done!

docjekyll 2016-05-03 04:15

Great tie-in with the theme. Fun 48h puzzle platformer :-D

dunin 2016-05-06 09:16

When I was young I wanted A boy and his blob and never got it.
This game remind me that and I enjoyed it... thanks!
Cool graphics, good mood and some level are smart!

gillenew 2016-05-06 09:25

fisilva 2016-05-06 17:47
