Play as Slim, the mining slime as he harvests a feast of gemstones for his family! Slide and bounce around the cave as your drill friend takes you deeper to more tasty treasures. Grab onto walls and other surfaces with Slim's sticky body. But beware the underground inhabitants you'll disturb as you harvest...

LD embedded didn't work (Failed to read the 'serviceWorker' property from 'Navigator': Service worker is disabled because the context is sandboxed and lacks the 'allow-same-origin' flag.), but offsite build did!
The soundtrack is a little werid, but the gameplay is really fun. Graphics and mood fit well. The interface is also really nice, enjoyed the stats overview.
Very fun physics, I liked the floatiness. I didn't really understand the grab early on (and I don't think I really needed it), I think some better tutorials-by-example earlier would help.
Really nice game and well polished. Like the graphics, audio and gameplay was a lot of fun. I like how overly chaotic the game feels. If there was room for improvement I would say the game needs to force an end. For me it felt almost impossible to die without actively trying to collide with enemies. Having the game ramp up the difficulty over time would make the end score more satisfying as you struggle to survive. In the end I found myself off screen where I could no longer die or get back onto the screen.
Highlight of the games I've played so far. Great polish, super cute. Trying to come up with any constructive feedback, the only thing I can think of is I got stuck off the top of the screen for a bit. The icon to show where you are is helpful, but since you can't see the rocks up there all I could do was move around randomly until I eventually fell down. I'm not sure how you fix that, maybe after some time it teleports you back to the start position? Or have the rocks die off sooner so you don't keep hitting them?
This is really cute, the graphics and sound together have a really nice vibe to them, great job on the presentation! My only real critique is that the whole thing feels a little *too* frantic, It can be easy to lose track of yourself and whats going on in the sea of Everything happening. Maybe slow the camera down a bit to start, and also raise the platform more so you have more time to react to stuff coming from the bottom of the screen? Either way, that's a nitpick in my opinion, this is a cute, if fast paced, little platformer you've made, great work.
Really charming combination of graphics and sound! loved the very hand crafted feel of everything, almost like it was made from construction paper with kids playing around making the do-do-do sound effects, fantastic mood.
I like the control of your game, it's great, the only thing I what this to improve is gaving me more challenging, becuase I didnt face any challenge and the difficulty of the game didnt rise too.
Really well presented and great aesthetics. I loved how well color is used to make it very clear what hurts and what you can pickup. I disliked the small stutter on taking damage as it felt like breaking the flow. I thought screen was a bit too cramped and there wasn't enough of a chance to make better use of the cool movement mechanics. Also sometimes a gap between stones would be just a tiny bit too small to fit and that was annoying. Overall excellent arcade-style game with fun gameplay!
Nice fun entry! Look and sound really went with it. I think a key issue (for me) is that you can't see what's coming up, so it just felt like I was randomly moving across the screen and hoping. There's a good reason Doodle Jump goes up and lets you see the playforms coming. BUT that's a super easy fix, just divide the level in the middle of the screen so we can see our options and choose a route on the fly. Great submission!
Very juicy game with a bunch of personality. I had a blast playing and I appreciate that you made the health bar huge as there was so much happening on the screen. Awesome job!
Got a bit confused by the "auto-jump" on the plattform - but it feels very intuitive to play the game and its a lot of fun! Great Art-Style. Love all the animation details you built into the game!
Nice game, the level generating was really great, however sometimes the shapes was created to much close to each other and I got stuck, but I always managed to got away somehow :smile: Also the graphics was just ideal for this type of game. I appreaciate there were more types of attacks from enemies. Somehow I almost never used the grabbing, I was only jumping and falling :smile: and managed to get 50000 score, probably luck. The only thing with which a had a problem is the main menu, the moving screen and grabbing to start didn't work for me, also I dont know why the slim is jumping when he is on the drill. But overall, great game!
Love the slime character, especially how it just flattens on the dirt blocks. The art style is very cute and the music fits it very well. The controls and level generation are definetely the highlight of this game. It felt very satisfying to dive between blocks and catch power ups mid jump. However, I couldn't find a use for the grab button too much, the slime had no trouble staying on the sloped surface. Maybe make it so that grab is essential to staying still, and it would make the control more dynamic. Also, having more variety of enemies spawn later on would add to the experience too, as it got stale after I met all of the enemies. Overall, this level of polish in a game jam game is an achievement, and you guys nailed it! Congrats!
The overall look, and especially the UI felt super polished! The controls were a bit janky, but it kinda felt like that was part of the games charm. I also really liked how the more valuable gems, as well as health, spawned in the most dangerous area, that madee it really fun! The only gripe I had with it was that you could get stuck above the screen and have no idea how to come back down. I ended up losing because of that.
Never really got the hang of it and kept mistaking the big bouncing blue shapes for enemies since they look so spikey (despite already making a mental node that Red Is Bad) but I had a great time and the music was extremely cute and fun. Great work!
Cute and fast-paced! Love the slime character and its deformations around the terrain. The arcade gameplay makes it for great replayability. Nice work!
This entry is at the same time really fun and really addictive! Animations and sounds are on point, and it is really one of these games i know i may play again after the jam!
The only downside for me was when your character gets stuck on a high platform and you have to blindly move him and hope it'll eventually come back at some point.
Fun take on the falling puzzler! This could be the foundation for something big. Perhaps some roguelite elements. I did find that if you don't jump down and stay on a platform you effectively get stuck and never lose :)
Cool game. I liked the graphics and how there are a lot of things going on in the screen. Reminds me of an old school arcade game. Wasn't a huge fan of the music though

Overall really enjoyed!
I really like the feeling of sliding!

Eventually I got stuck somewhere off screen.
