Very creative. Love the vibe.

I love the art and music. The theme comes through strongly. I'm getting crashes when my ant dies on the upward facing spikes.

Enjoyable game, good idea of mechanics

Cute game, also cool mechanics. I did end up crashing when I died btw!

The game has a really nice vibe, almost reminds me of Little Big Planet! This game could benefit from checkpoints/respawning. Great job!!

really cute concept, the graphics remind me of stained glass almost, but i really love the music most of all! if that's original i'm so impressed

Great game. relaxing atmosphere, the idea is cool

Another slime-bug game fellow!(but we made the slime enemies lol). The mechanism is simple and fun to play reminding me 2D Mario's Yoshi! Love the graphic and the cute SFX. Overall great job!

P.S. I actually kind of got stuck at the very first stage and retried several times and get a little frustrated when:屏幕录制 2024-07-31 003027_9.gif

@nanamaki Sorry there's supposed to be a spike but now it's hidden.

Interesting game, appropriate sound and good music for the game. Some of the scenarios were hard because you'd get stuck, when I reached the end cloud I could only jump up on the right side because of trying to push the rock through the spikes with the slime, and I couldn't jump as the ant so I was stuck there inches away from victory!

Cool idea for a game, graphics a little underdeveloped, music brings a cool atmosphere. The game likes to crush very often even though I entered from a link from itch io. ~Socio

Fun and creative but unfortunately the game crashed a few times for me

Cool concept of nesting different creatures with different abilities, I don't know if I have seen it to this extent before. I thought that your art style and music were fun and did a lot for the mood of the game. I did have issues with it crashing when I died which was too bad, I wasn’t able to finish the game. Overall well done, this is a fun one!

i like the game concept very much, that you unite with other tiny creatures and get additional features :) artstyle is also very cute :)

notnasiul 2024-10-12 21:45

Is this a bugvania? A metroidbug? I don't know, but the concept is really cool! It crashes when you die, so finishing the game is quite difficult, but I enjoyed it while it lasted! Well done!

I like the vibrant colors of the game!

I'll be honest. I initially thought this game was trash.

But then... Something clicked in the game mechanics. And I... FELL IN LOVE WITH THE GAMEPLAY. These are such simple and interesting puzzles.

I'll call them blobs, okay? The mechanics of the first blob provide a lot of interesting gameplay. Jumping out of a monster increases your jump, dying also gives a jump boost, which creates interesting situations where I have to kill my blob and jump up. Then the second blob comes into play and the game becomes even more interesting. Double jump with double death. But the special mechanics of the second blob are less interesting. Like... You dash, but it's a very narrow mechanic. You need more interaction with it.

Also, jumping into the void bothered me. I was really afraid of dying like in a horror game, lol.

The graphics are not polished, but the game does not need it. You can create a unique game using this mechanic. Find a good artist.

I definitely did not expect this from a random game from jam. Surprised.

Fun 4/5

About graphics. Maybe you should think more about compatibility of graphics in terms of design.

Fun game! Theme is on point! I think the game crashed when i died -- reloaded the page to fix the error.

jupton 2024-10-18 09:49

Love the mechanics of launching yourself from each slime to overcome the obstacles, and the level is designed in a great way to utilise the mechanic in fun ways. The game did crash when I died on spikes, but was more than happy to play through the level again.

Interesting concept of using different sized creatures to platform and solve environmental puzzles, the art style was reminiscent of an older kirby game. Also when I touched a spike as the smallest thing the game had a massive crash on itch.

Great game, nice matching with theme, keep going
