While I unfortunately got stuck early on because I am bad at puzzle games, I had a lot of fun trying to figure things out and progress. I enjoy the minimalist art-style and the music was quite nice as well. My only issue in the time I played with the game was I wish there was something that explained the modifiers you can place down. It isn't hard to experiment but when first encountering a new modifier it would have been nice for a little blurb that said what it did.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"fakefrogsonly","author_uid":"1005407","time":"2017-05-01T16:18:50Z","epoch":1493655530,"modified":1493655530,"text":"A really cool concept for a game. Despite being really bad at solving the puzzles, I think the mechanics that are there provide a lot of really cool possibilities.

The music was great and the visuals were (obviously) minimalist but clean and visually attractive nonetheless.\nThe gameplay was good fun, though it could have done with a few more levels to properly explore each concept. I also felt that there perhaps could have been a gradual drop in the force that the red ball exerted on the goo as it got further away rather than a sudden cutoff, but that didn't really affect the gameplay too much.\n\nKeep it up!\n\n-Skruffye","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Pecolyte","author_uid":"1002797","time":"2017-05-12T13:46:48Z","epoch":1494596808,"modified":1494596808,"text":"The graphics are simple but beautiful.

The graphics and audio support the design brilliantly. The GUI graphics are the only blackmark in the presentation front.\n\nI really enjoyed all the levels. Then I hit a surprise *Game over* screen all of a sudden. Not sure if that was the last level or what? The level transition is also just an instant cut. A small delay and audio cue would improve the experience I reckon.\n\nSplendid work!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"zgragselus","author_uid":"1001394","time":"2017-05-12T21:19:04Z","epoch":1494623944,"modified":1494623944,"text":"Interesting puzzle involving simple gravity simulation and modifiers.

The graphics were also, despite being quite simple, really pretty and fit in well with the game.\n\nOne small nitpick I have for this game is that the controls didn't feel quite as crisp as I wanted, and the white goo often got lost or stuck.\n\nOverall nice game idea!

It wasn't very clear at first what all the control orbs did at first, or how big their range was, so maybe that could be shown in a tutorial or through the interface.
