I LOVED THIS GAME, such a good puzzle concept. Super satisfying once you figure out the best solution for the levels. Gold all around! level.png

oadt 2023-10-02 10:09

Also managed to get gold in every level :raised_hands: In 2 or 3 levels I had to skip a turn and still managed to get the perfect solution, maybe the could be some element added to make it even more satisfying.

Very cool mechanic and good job at introducing the mechanics one at the time, only wished there were a few more levels :slight_smile:

powerofsin 2023-10-02 10:42

@oadt levels are definitely not perfect at the moment, would need a few days of learning the rules myself to make it better xD

I opted to make them less challenging but completable so more people can try the mechanics out.

At least I managed to squeeze in Random levels for messing with the blobs more.

Really nice depth to the game and well executed.

This game seems simple at first but soon get´s really interesting. Nice level design and a fun and addictive gameplay.

denvil 2023-10-02 19:05

This followed the theme and was fun to play. For combo game there was enough levels to get the feel and see more mechanics. Nice job.

A chill puzzle game, I like how the slimes look and move. Congrats on the submission!

allenski 2023-10-03 05:52

Really nice puzzles and love how many mechanics you got in (even random levels!) :D

quasilyte 2023-10-03 16:27

This game is SO good. I was restarting the first level a couple of times until I realized that you can consume more than one blob in a turn! I completed a couple of levels and I'm willing to do some more later, until I finish the entire game. I may even record my playthrough of it later.

Note: even the first two levels made me so surprised. I see that there is more to this game than I could discover in this short period of time, so I'm excited to continue.

I don't think that I ever saw a game like that. :D

Extra points for making a web export of a game.

Nicely done!

quasilyte 2023-10-03 16:29

Holy cow this game needs more ratings and attention. :]

Constructing puzzles from the three Blobs was really fun. After clearing the predetermined stages, you can play on random stages indefinitely. The gameplay is smooth and addictive.

The pixel-style graphics are also very captivating. I particularly love the animation when the Pink Blobs pull.

Great job :)

This is clever! I am not good at it. At least I can enjoy the cute blob art while repeatedly failing to beat an early level. Well done.

rubatotree 2023-10-04 08:42

The levels are very interesting! The gameplay is also excellent, and various special effects make the game feel very cool.

I hope to add an undo button to the game so that I don't have to regret my mistake and knock on the table XD

powerofsin 2023-10-04 09:39

@rubatotree undo was on the TODO list but I deemed it too risky to add after everything else was done. Would have made so many bugs for sure xD

ingeniousphoenix 2023-10-04 15:04

A very fun and unique game! I loved the art as well! Keep it up!

silkworm-sweatshop 2023-10-04 15:16

Excellent! Really simple but clever mechanics. One of my favorites for sure. Only thing missing is some music maybe but it doesn't really need it.

plepletier 2023-10-04 15:40

Great idea! The mechanics are well-implemented, and the game has a very smooth gameplay flow. I believe with some additional polish, this game can become excellent. Keep working on it and release it, this puzzle game is very good.

stormsword 2023-10-04 17:14

Was fun ! Its a good idea and I love the little blobs :D

kaimon 2023-10-04 20:14

Awesome idea, super clever and really fun to play ! I loved it !

benskca 2023-10-04 20:23

I really loved this, very satisfying puzzles and the whole game was super polished. I like that you included the set levels with planned solutions along with the random levels where the player just gets to use the mechanics as best they can - its very different playing a level where you know someone hasn't designed it with a solution in mind which was a fun bit of variety. The only thing I can think of that you could add is background music, and even then this would only need to be very subtle given how clean and calm the game is.

sudocoffee 2023-10-05 23:27

This was a well thought out, satisfying puzzle game. I got gold for all 6 levels, wish I had more to play!

furano 2023-10-06 10:53

What a fun little game! The puzzle mechanic were well though out and highlighted by the level design.

I had fun playing it, whish there were a little bit more levels.

I played it on my phone with Chrome and it worked like a charm. The game never started on Firefox however (that's clearly a godot 4.1 limitation, and not on your side).

powerofsin 2023-10-06 12:51

@furano hm... odd. I use firefox on pc and phone and it works for me. May be something else causing it? Glad you liked it either way :D

agraffs 2023-10-06 21:25

Solide concept, the game is clever, the graphics are cute. I'm really glad to have tried this game, it's really well done ! GG !

profugo-barbatus 2023-10-08 06:54

Well made little puzzle game you have here! Once I wrapped my head around the basics, it was very intuitive.

spacecadet 2023-10-08 09:39

Easily one of my favorites of the jam so far. Really well designed puzzle mechanics and solid execution. Good job!

chuckiee 2023-10-09 09:36

I like the graphics and general concept. It took me a while to get that dots represent the grid count, I thought it was unlimited range. Very cool puzzle game gj!

knexator 2023-10-09 15:32

Fun game! My only feedback would be that the direction selection happened directly where the blobs are; it would make it clear that it´s a limited range, and it would mean less jumping around the screen.

ellaris 2023-10-09 15:33

- Awesome game, nice mechanics, good pacing, cute art style - I liked how levels could be completed with like a basic more obvious route, and if you wanted you could try finding the solution hiding in plain sight for the perfect clear. - It was nice having the random levels, even if lower in quality (understandably) they do provide more content and creativity (random 4 map size) - For some reason I thought the timer was real time based (maybe because of the previous games I tried), and the range of the moves wasn't exactly obvious, it would be nice to display the exact range and possibly the outcome when hovering over the action button (although this was probably not exactly jam feasible)

lereveur 2023-10-09 16:34

Very good puzzle game, I enjoyed a lot finishing it, it was challenging and fun! Don't know why, but it didn't registered my scores to randoms levels :thinking: Good job! ld54score_packedblob.png

powerofsin 2023-10-09 17:10

@ellaris @knexator @chuckiee thanks for the feedback! Definitely would have been better to make the selections happen on the board itself.

I worked on that before on a different game and I just knew it can't happen within the jam timeframe because there is a lot more that goes into it. Like overlapping indicators for different areas and clarity without covering other squares and whatever else happens. I may look into it when I eventually get time to polish the game up.

@lereveur that's concerning... I may have messed something up. Gonna need to check it, thanks.

powerofsin 2023-10-09 17:14

@lereveur just checked, it saves them, but fails to update them until you restart the game, for some reason xD So if you reopened it now it should show. I may patch that up if I get the time.
