This is a unique take on the theme, and the simple graphics and interesting concept work well together. The controls can be extremely frustrating though, either too much momentum or none at all, but otherwise this is every creative.

Really start with nothing. Concept and mechanic are good together.

As others have said, a very cool interpretation of the "start with nothing" theme that we got. Looks cool too! However some of the controls are a bit rough, although I feel like it's part of the game's mechanics (as more control of airtime, coyote time and others would diminish the sense of difficulty navigating the maps). Really enjoyable, glad I checked it out, :D!
uh, this game is f*&^ing amazing, great job
Really love this, great use of the theme and love the concept in general. Having the controls a bit more responsive when moving left/right and movement while in the air would be nice though not necessary. Having the trails a bit more consistent with where you move would be nice too but all this is just juice, the core concept and style is excellent, great job.
Very cool graphics and concept, controls/jumping is a bit frustrating
Love the take on this one. The art style and concept are both rock solid.
I wish my character had more control while it was in the air, would have cut down on a lot of frustration. But it didn't bug me enough to enjoy the game itself. Really creative entry!

Nice charming little game. Wish I could begin strafing while already midair, but aside from that it's a very pleasant game.
really similar to the game Ink

A neat game, I like starting with nothing and revealing the stage. The controls felt a bit inconsistent at times, sometimes it felt like doing the exact same thing would make me move different speeds or jump differently.

I loved the game Ink, and this came close in a lot of ways, the controls were a bit difficult but I feel like that was a design choice in this case, no air control was a nice touch. Sound effects would have added a lot to this as would a little more splatting.
A little difficult to control but i liked the art
Such a clever idea adding the tutorial as part of start screen, super innovative! Movement is smooth and easy to control, though maybe it could be a little more slidy as it is a slime ball. Cute colour scheme and consistant art throughout! Reminds me of a game I made a while back called Adventure Slime. You made a great game, well done!
Can't move while in the air, maybe add a little movement so it's easier to jump to platforms.
