You are a tiny blob that one day will be the pride of creation. But you're far from there. (And you'll only get there if you have a nice modern browser :-) )
This is basically a jump'n'run (see the analogy with the title there?) Move left and right with a, d or cursor left, right. Jump with w, up, x or space.
The trick is that you loose energy everytime you jump (or get on those hideous spikes) and the less energy you have, the lower you jump. But fear not! Eat your nice, cuddly neighbors to get more energy.
This was a pretty fun game once I figured out what I was doing. I took me a while to realize that the more I ate the higher I jumped. Since the little eaty-things don't respawn after you've consumed them, it is really easy to get stuck an unable to move on. I wasn't ever able to get very far before I got stuck and gave up.
Also, the music doesn't loop, so after it plays through once, you're left playing in silence.
Hi, thanks for the Comments. The thing is, the energy is supposed to be a thing of value. You have to watch the jumping a little and eat as much blue slimy things as possible, then you'll have no problems at all.
The central idea does have the advantage of turning the platformer movement itself into a kind of puzzle. It would just need some balancing because now it is very easy to get stuck with no options.
Got stuck in a few places when I ran out of energy and that was frustrating. It's a simple, interesting concept though and quite fun when you get the hang of it.
