Interesting game, might help to give a brief how to play. I figured it out after a few tries.

Wow! The fluid dynamics are awesome. After 4 tries, I couldn't get past the flip-flopping diagonal one, though. Would have liked a difficult option or cheat or easy retry.

Started off confusing but I got the hang of it! Pretty unique idea and gameplay. I liked the graphics and the merging effect of all the blobs.

It feels pretty surreal. But, could use some more of that orange life-stuff. Can't get past that double-gunk or that diagonallt-moving gunk without getting eaten.

We've always been at war with Purple! This game is gorgeous and feels good. The fixed movement patterns of the purple guys is deceptive (in a good way) because they lock on and follow you. I really love this submission. Great job!

Nice job! Gameplay was a lot of fun. Lost a few times before I finally won. Blue good, purple bad, orange yummy...

This game is so cool. The concept is simple and really fun to play. The art style and the environment is really well done. For sure one of the cools games I played in this jam.

I really liked the fluid dynamics! They were very smooth. Also, the walking sounds were nice but I wish that there were more variations of them. The purple's path was hard to follow but otherwise the game would have been easy. Good entry! :thumbsup:

Like others said, I had trouble getting past the 2nd obstacle. Not sure if I was missing something. That said, I think it says a lot about the quality/uniqueness of your game that I kept trying over and over again to get past those double blobs. I really wanted to check out the rest of the game!

For those who want, I added a small control on the difficulty.
Press "1" for normal, "2" for easier, "3" for even more easier. It doesn't make a big change but I hope it helps :)
Thanks everyone for all the feedbacks. It makes me happy !
