OBLIGATE ANAEROBE UT ALTIUS
You can move your obligate anaerobe( microorganisms killed by normal atmospheric concentrations of oxygen) left and right. Get deeper, away from the oxygen in the upper areas. Eat iron to get deeper and avoid hydrogen peroxide, which pulls you up.

Very unusual mechanics! Nice sounds + music too. Blending the background blobs into a solid mass was a nice trick.

Unique game, a petty cool interpretation of the theme.
At my try, only the mouse controls seemed to work.
I enjoyed the unconvetional music and cool graphic design.

Great game, the game mechanics were amazing!

Super interesting physics game! Both mechanically and thematically :) Very unexpected and innovative. That's what I like to see. My best was 77, can anyone beat that? :) I made it to the bottom and felt like a champ. Keep it up!

Very nice original game. Good sounds too. I didn't know which one was iron so I was trying to get the blue ones at first. Moving the mouse causes the player to jump around really quickly, is that intentional?

Managed to get 314, I quite liked it but I must admit I was very confused by the mechanicsfor quite a bit :eyes:
But I like how it stands apart from basically everything else I've played so far, also anaerobes rock.
Nice work!

@mortalslayer24: Thank you!

@timbertoes: Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the game!

@deepinthewoods: Thank you! I was not sure about the sound, good to hear you liked them. Good point with the colors. After the jam I will update the game to make it clearer (I will add level progression, where first you only have red ones). The mouse controls are too sensitive in the current version, I had adapted them to game pad controller axis, and for the mouse I did not do special one. I have to adapt it for an update.

I'm not really sure what I'm doing? I assumed I had to eat the red ones (because I assume that's iron?), and avoid the blue ones? But neither seemed to really push me up or down, so I'm kind of confused....

I just sorta wiggled around, but I got a 106!

@icefallgames Thank you for playing. I see, I have to make the mechanics clearer. I will update the game after the jam to have some progression making the mechanics clearer to the player (I hope).




I loved the subtle sound design and the geometric visuals. What is more the game mechanics are really innovative.
Excellent first Compo entry 👍
