Very fun entry! A little slow but the movement is so statisfying!
My favorite game so far, the physic is insanely cool, creatures are really cute and the concept is great. I hope it'll become a full game.
An absolutely superbly made game! I’m genuinely at a loss for anything negative to say—everything about it is just delightful!
It takes tw..... a bunch? That's fun.
really really nice, fun and engaging game! I love the mood. Nothing bad to say, nice level design, interesting mechanics and great feel.
Okay, holy shit, this is going to be my vote for best game. I wish there were more levels. This was so creative and well executed.
I have a lot of good things to say about this game!
+ simple, but very cute graphics. Everything fits well togehter
+ googly eyes make everything better! :D
+ music and mood worked well with the style
++ level design was superb. You introduced every mechanic naturally and step by step.
++ the controls felt good. The chore mechanic (fluid objects) is really good to play.
A little suggestion: I would put the numbers at the goal in the foreground or above or a little sign next to it, because the tiny creatures cover them up.
Such a nice game! I hope we will see new levels in the future. :)
Hi! For such a small amount of time, it's an impressive game! But it would be a great game even for 48 hours :) I love the simplicity and visual cleanness, and all those little guys are so cute and squishy!
The game mechanic is interesting, it works well. Although it was a bit frustrating to reach the end only to learn that I left one little guy somewhere behind: Fortunately, the level design is often forgiving so that I could go back for him.
It's a pity you didn't have time for some sound effects, but the rest of the game looks like you had all weekend. Great job!
Wow, I think this is the most inventive and innovative gameplay idea I've seen so far in the games I've reviewed here at the Jam. It's truly chaotic, fresh, and intriguing. Man, it's really cool, really cool indeed.
Wow, and the background music gives off this relaxed vibe, contrasting with the chaotic motion of the physics at play. This is super cool. I'm really excited to see this moving forward and to find out what else you can include in a full game.
Cooooooool game.
nice art,nice gameplay.
I love the mechanic of crown movement. Nice puzzle platformer. Saved it to play more later.
Great game! Minimalism is hard to get right, and this game nails it. Simple but very stylish graphics, amazing soft body physics and a few clever puzzles. 5/5 every category!
What a great idea for a puzzle game. I liked the way you have to place your "control square" so that you can get the little guys to do what you need them to do. I liked it so much, I was disappointed when I finished the last level. Excellent job on the graphic, sound, and gameplay!
So cool! Personal favourite so far. I like sometimes you just nugde them to advance and sometimes delicate control are required, so fun to play. And in the last level, there is a blob stuck in the pit where the yellow bar at, I thought it can't get back up, then when I decide to move on and get away form the yellow button, the bar lifted that blob up! it's a nuance but fun experience.

Haha I see another blob enjoyer! We also made a game about blobs so I had to check it out once I saw it :D
Fantastic entry with a very good polish and well implemented smooth and bugless movement/controls. The core concept gives me feeling of something between innovation and "Oh, I know those controls!", which is great because I don't have to learn everything from scratch to play well enough to have fun with it. I really like how much you were able to squish out of those simple rules.. especially, the camera big boi was a very well thought out design decision.
Art direction and music was on point! Simple but charming and eye/ear pleasing.
A little bit too short for my taste but overall that was a very fun little adventure :D
I love those little-eye guys, nice one! The level design is darn good, it's quite a challenge to get to the end. And it really feels tight. Really well done!
Perfect. No notes. Only critisim, is that I really needed to get to bed about half an hour ago, and this game kept me playing! I love a good puzzle platformer, and the controls are a really fun mechanic for it. Honestly, this game is basically perfect as is. Add some more levels, maybe some new obstacles, and just release it.
This is great! Movement feels nice and smooth and I like the simple colour change to identify creatures under control. The eyes following your cursor around is a fun touch too.
This was really good! I love how the camera is also a mechanic!
Great job!
Very impressed by how controllable it felt, while also feeling like it had a ton of freedom in terms of which small jellies I was focused on and how I controlled them.
Nice and smooth movements. Simple yet hard to master. Perfect for a game jam. Well done! :)
Woaw, a nice physics-based platformer with a clever twist, I love it! I managed to clear all the levels. The last one did pose me some challenge, as, when I managed to get the gang to the end, I realized I left one critter behind. So i had to backtrack quite a lot to retrieve it, it was a fun experience.
The game is very interesting, please keep working on it by adding more levels. Also, I think you should add some sound effects to enhance the whole experience (the music is great btw).
A very great entry fitting the theme well, congrats!
A really interesting concept and very well executed, I'm impressed with how well the physics work! Imo some puzzles could be split into different levels, and I felt that sometimes it could be a bit too finicky and I would get a little frustrated. I think this can be remedied by making the controls faster.
Really good entry! Congrats.
Piece of art! It's looking at your mouse position and cute bouncing
Also the palette itself is really cool and makes chill atmosphere which nice
It was pretty fun and confy to play. Had an association with bubble tea
This game is super cool! It started out a bit slower, but once you got to the more puzzling levels with separate pressure plates it really kicked up and grabbed me! I had a great time figuring out how to navigate the little guys!
Great job!
Very cool! I want more levels. They are so soft just like gummy bears. and tapioka ♥ :tea:
Awesome game! You nailed the theme and made a really nice game concept. I loved the simple art, the cute critters, and the great puzzles.
OMG. :scream: This was FANTASTIC. I loved absolutely everything about this. Such a unique take on the controls too.
It's so well designed. From the art to the sound to level design... wow. Such a nice simple graphic style. But they feel so cushy and bouncy. It's so much fun moving a big cluster around.
It's weird when you come across a game that was a similar idea to what you had at one point, but then does it SO SO WELL. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. :joy: :sob: :rofl: SO WELL DONE. :heartbeat: :raised_hands: 11/10
The game feel is wonderful! The little jelly guys just *ooze* personality. Congrats!
What a fun entry ! Good mechanic, nice implementation, and perfectly fit the theme! The addition of the big guy is really interesting and add a lot to the strategy. Keep up the good work 😊👍
Clever and refreshing with cute squish graphics. Jumping off of each others' shoulders in midair and the ending confetti were my favorite moments, and the game design is clever to not get players stuck while feeling smart solving puzzles.
So much squish and movement. Love it.
One of the best game concepts of the jam. I love it!
I like how puzzly this is, and how (unlike so many of these types of games) you are supposed to get ALL of them through, not sacrifice some along the way. I had a hard time with resetting the level when I didn't know what would be needed next (especially on the third puzzle) but otherwise had a good time with this. Well done :D
That was really good, short but sweet and so much variety in the mechanics! A well deserved ranking, congrats! 😊👍 For your records, here’s the recorded stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eJqrAXg0kg
very fun and intersting game !!
