Bob is a scientis. But he hates his work.. And his colleagues.. Bob is a sad and angry person..
A day bob had an incident with a strange acid formula.. A tank smashed submerging him.. He thought he died.
But He didn't.
We don't know why, but now bob is an acid Ooze and he wants to escape from this place..
But.. Anger burns.
It's time to kill everyone and destroy what was his personal Hell.
------------------------------------- TIPS. -Experiment the different solutions, they have different effects on Bob. Find them. -Eat Everyone! Destroy Everything! -Density or Mass at 0 = Death! You'll dissolve! -More Density => Less mass dispersion throught drain grates and time! -READ THE INGAME TUTORIAL!!!
Trivia: I have developed this game alone within twelve hours. I had to work IRL and I didn't slept to create this game! But I'm fine and galvanised! I really love this competition and the emotion that I feel during it.<3 I had to submit the Jam competition because I started some hours before Compo end. I know that the game is filled with errors, unfinished art and content, but I have no more time and I'm a little tired.. I hope you'll enjoy my game for what it was meant to be and not getting only stuck in errors.. I have drawn and created everything from zero except the music. I still can't manage to create something nice in that area... :/ I created an in game tutorial (press the [?] Button in the start page!) and I hope it will be enough to explain the game mechanics.
------------------------------------
Conclusion: I am happy. I think I did a nice work despite the few hours (OMG 12HOURS.. HOW DID I..) and I hope you'll like it too. Have fun. Keep creating games and enjoy life. Love to you all! :D
Easter egg: I'll rate the game of everyone that will write JABBERWOCKY in the comments.. Let's see if people really read the descriptions ;D
P.s. Thx to Azureflux, an online (music)artist for the chiptune I found on a freesound site. Your melody blends perfectly, I love it <3
Wow, man, I had ton of fun playing this game! For 12 hours - it's really amazing, and this chiptune is sooo groovy, great job! One of the best, simple and catchy.
The gameplay is a little bit hard get, but once it's done it's cool to eat scientif with Bob. Plus that scientist sprite is totally amazing ! Fun game, good job :)
Music fits well. I love to see how people used this theme to unleash their inner anger into pixel art creatures lel. (Just kiddin we are all peaceful game devs right? Right ...). Good one!
Great concept! really fun to play! simple and basic interaction works really well. I really like the tutorial. Clear and extremely concise! Didn't rate the music since you mentioned it's not from you. Good choice of music though :)
Great man! For a Jam made in 12 hours it is good. And i've been in your situation too, LudumDare+No Sleep+Work Next Day = Zombie mode on the Job. Congrats!
I escaped! It was quite difficult because of the bounces (and I didn't know where to go or what exactly 4 of the chemicals did), but nice job doing it in 12 hours. :) Nice art too!
This was surprisingly fun to play. It probably would have been better if there was some visual indicator to what power up you got (e.g. change Bob to the colour of the ooze he just absorbed) as I couldn't tell whether I had powered up or not plus it's a bit too easy to gain mass and density but overall a solid entry.
Had like 10 FPS on Pale Moon x64 (a Firefox port), but seemed to run just fine on Chrome. Played a long while on Pale Moon before realizing it should be running faster and was able to got 111% Mass and 110% Density :P. Got bored of the framerate and couldn't find my way out though. The aesthetic works and the basic gameplay is pretty good although it's somewhat annoying to bounce around so much when hitting stuff. Didn't really see any other effects to the liquids than adding or taking from your M/D.
Pretty cool game overall man ! I especially loved the music. That's a great result for a one-man and 12 hours work (bonus points for that) ! The core feature of our games is the same ^^
Nice pixel art! Great job. :) It might be interesting to have some visual feedback for when the mass and density change for the player to know where to walk on the stage.
Rules are nice and story is interesting (we love class b horror flicks!) Music feels great, perhaps add some sfx to a post-compo version? (and some GUI redesign and b(l)ob animations?) Nice work!
Pretty awesome. Love the music and the art + the fact that you can destroy almost everything. Bob is just great, had fun :D Oh yeah, nice touch on drain grills causing game over :)
Really impressive entry for the amount of time you had to do it in! Once I got a handle on what to do it was really fun going around and munching up as many things as possible. Some more feedback about what increased mass and density would make it easier to understand and probably even more rewarding as well! Anyway great work for something put together in 12 hours. That's just cray, mkay? :)
Nice job in such a short amount of time. I just had to check this game out, since I too made a game about a green monster killing all the scientists :)
Love the blob graphics and the C64-style soundtrack! The collision detection is a bit off -- it's hard to grab the colored puddles and B(l)ob shakes when colliding with stuff -- but otherwise it's a nice game.
Nice start for a 12h entry ! First I felt stuck after destroying everything and then understood i could go on this grid because i was getting very dense :) Funny concept, quite nice pixel art... Ho, and i did not saw it anywhere, so... JABBERWOCKY !!
Well it's quite fun :) However as some other have pointed out, scientists go through walls and walk in the dark bg, so I couldn't try to "finish" it (I'm not sure it's possible?). The effects of the different fluids are nice to discover, so I could rush yellow ones as soon as I saw them ^^
Great art, especially the blob. I had a hard time understanding how to get the effects of the solution; did you have to destroy the containers and then stand on the puddles or just destroy the containers?
It's a nice game! I like how it wasn't just destroying things, but you had to watch your mass and density. It felt a little difficult at first, keeping my eye on the different stats and making sure they were above 0. I'd start to panic as they got below 5%!
I feel there's definitely room for improvement, but it's pretty awesome you did this in just 12 hours. Also,JABBERWOCKY !
@Miziziziz: No you have to destroy the container, then after a second the puddle appears on the floor. The puddle is divided in 3 parts and each time you collide with one of these you get one "stack" of the effect of that solution. :D @freaknarf: First one to get Jabberwocky! GREAT! :D @omarshehata: great second Jabberwocky here! :D
@ALL: THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR OPINION! YOU ARE AWESOME! :D
Nicely done although I didn't find the exit it was fun to kill everybody and destroy everything. The shaky control was extra fun. It would be nice to show the score on game over screen.
REally impressive for 12 hours!! The art is great! and its really fun to kill the humans hehe... there are some bugs with collisions and z order, but great job!!!!

Fun to play! The music fits the game perfectly. Though I didn't get the purpose of the different-colored liquids other than to increase Bob's density. Nice graphics, and the scientists raising their hands running, added with the music, makes it look as if they're dancing to the beat. P.S.: JABBERWOCKY Island is a relaxing place.

Fun game, good job :)
Impressive game, even more so since you made it in only 12 hours!
I really like the tutorial. Clear and extremely concise!

No audio over here...
PS: We have fixed our game, if you want to see it again. ^^
Thank you.
