Hello This is my first time participating in Ludum Dare.

You control a slime which loses some of its tissue with every movement.

But the smaller you are , the higher you jump.

Controls: arrow keys

Please play in firefox, does not work in google chrome.

Interesting mechanics. I liked how when you lost mass you jumped higher. Really cute art, who doesn't love a slime?

Great trade off with the jump mechanics. Had a fun time with this game!

So, for me at least, the game has issues. For one, there should be some sort of indicator of when you're approaching death via lack of slime size. As is you just seem to die for no reason. In addition, the camera is pulled in far enough that you have to make a good deal of blind jumps. The jumps are pretty easy anyways, but it's just a bad idea in general.

I think the bigger see distance can make better this game

Welcome to LD, I hope you had fun! Nice game, I would have liked to have a larger field of view though. And a tip for Godot, you can export without the debug-option.

The weight losing mechanics is a good idea, but I feel it lack a clear visual feedback that tell you that you are losing matter.

Otherwise, it's a cool game ! A bit simple, but the idea is here, and the graphics and sound are good !

Great game, I really like the mechanic you can jump higher when you are smaller. This is my first game jam too, but your game looked good to me.
