Great game!

That spooky laugh is too spooky. I gave you a 1 on audio because it spooked me so good.

rosden-shadow 2016-04-18 02:24

awesome game! good job!

That was a lot of fun. Love how gleeful the monster is, the puzzle solving was fun.
The ending was really cool.
Good stuff man! :D

Really really well done. Not only did you motivate me to stick with it til the end, but you also threw in a story, incorporated it in the game design and finished with a nice ending. One of the best entries I've seen so far.

Nice game, that black smoke reminds me of the black smoke from lost.

candlesan 2016-04-18 04:42

Original gameplay! Well done.

tauntbuttered 2016-04-18 05:33

It's perfect. My only complaint is that I have nothing to complain about. That was fun.

Whoa – totally blown away. This should top the leaderboards for sure. 5 stars across the board. It's all great, but I particularly enjoyed:
- the difficulty level was perfect (so hard to get right)
- awesome polish, graphics, audio all fit together
- fresh take and skin on a fun puzzle

Nailed it!

The Ooze takes all..dreadfully good game! new mechanics constantly introduced, great idea and execution (pun intended)!

This game is too good for words. Fortunately I'm so verbose I *transcend* mere words. Sound stopped working at one point but that could have been my PC's fault. This is an absolute genius puzzle mechanic and deserves to be on everybody's smart phone, laptop, iwatch, etc. I'm always in awe of people who invent original puzzle mechanics in LD entries but to do that and then go on and manage to design as many levels as you did is even more impressive. This is a potential winner for me.

wt.... xDDDD ok it's funny. Nice one. good idea, and good artwork.

sbeif 2016-04-18 19:27

Definitely the best so far. Well done!

crimson713 2016-04-18 19:41

Great game! I loved the graphics and the art style in general.

tlansdale 2016-04-18 19:49

Great work - succeeding on all fronts. Really good entry, well done!

trasevol_dog 2016-04-18 20:06

Very nice idea. Good LD puzzle games always amaze me. Well done!!

ou-gda 2016-04-19 03:26

FEAR ME MORTALS! FOR I AM THE OOZE!!!

dvdfu 2016-04-19 04:18

DEFINITELY a favourite! The concept and puzzle design is very good, and it's immensely satisfying to complete levels. Plus, the ending and theme incorporation are fantastic. Good job!

ithildin 2016-04-20 01:05

Awesome entry! You made a great job with the puzzles on each level, and the sound effects were really creepy, they did a great job setting the mood.

Well done! :)

apantaloni 2016-04-20 16:11

Really good entry! The puzzles are maybe a little on the easy side, but still interesting. Showing the ooze conquering the world through the ages is a cool idea.

chummywinds 2016-04-22 02:51

Boom. Solid gameplay. Great setting/mood. Challenging puzzles. Rewarding kills. Fantastic. Thats how its done, great job

khaos_fang 2016-04-22 03:03

10/10. Nice art style, well-designed mechanic.

jacklehamster 2016-04-22 04:24

I gotta say, this is an excellent entry in every areas. Innovative and fun, and the graphics and audio are pretty adequate. Good job!

dunin 2016-04-22 07:18

Wow.
First, I didn't understand that it was turn-based but after I played a really cool puzzle game!

tomvert 2016-04-23 18:31

I beat it ! Thanks for fulfilling my old dream of becoming the black mist in Lost :)
I loved the simple puzzle/turn based strategy. The difficulty ramps up just enough to keep the player interested. The audio kept me in the mood and focused till the end of the game. Good job !

jupiter_hadley 2016-04-28 20:54

Really neat game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/ZcRqGTT86gc

pietro-ferrantelli 2016-04-28 22:50

Easily ma favorite Compo Entry, dat Polish ! Theme-related in an awesome way, clever puzzles mechanics with nice level design and good innovation. Graphics, mood, sound design and aesthetics adds also a lot to the engagement. Well done.

wan 2016-04-29 09:31

One of the best games I've played from this jam. Amazing 48 hours entry with interesting puzzles, solid graphics and animations, fitting audio, and an actual ending on top of that. Humbling!

rock-eaters 2016-05-01 20:10

Very cool concept, the shadow made me think to Aku in samurai jack cartoon

logun 2016-05-05 12:22

More subtle than I though at start ! nice one :)

acuity 2016-05-08 00:32

This was a really cool puzzle concept! I liked the different mechanics that were put in.

My screen turned white at the end, I think that might mean I beat the game? Overall really good!

tex-killer 2016-05-09 19:24

This game is amazing! I can't believe it was done by a single person in 48 hours! Congratulations!

The only comment I have is that I don't get if there are differences in behaviour between different enemy types. All of them seem to behave the same. That is not necessarily a problem, though! Great puzzles, very well done!
