To say that you started with nothing suggests accumulation, that at some point you'll have more than nothing. Going off this, I made a simple puzzle game inspired by Katamari Damacy and a Japanese puzzle platformer involving jellies with cute faces that I can't remember.

Move around with arrow keys. When you touch a block, they attach to you. To complete each level, you must cover all the goal tiles either with yourself or blocks attached to you.

Fun game, but just as soon as I figured out how to play, it was over.

This is a clever use of the theme; I wish there were more levels to figure out. Some audio and animation feedback would help as well. With some more content and polish, this could be a very interesting game.

Cool mechanics and an interesting set of puzzles! I found myself wishing there were more levels to play. You kind of start with one, not with nothing, but I get the connection. Graphics are clean with clear functions (once I figured out wtf I was doing) with a cool color scheme.

Great concept, shame to see the game end before it really picks up any momentum. Theres a lot more you can do with this game.

Cool game with a clever puzzle mechanic. I certainly wish there were more levels to play through. Also it would have been nice if enter or space or something moved to the next level, so I could do everything with the keyboard.

Awesome mechanics, but it could be a little longer, even if it was simple ones.

Thanks for the feedback folks! I agree that there's definitely a lot more that could be done with the idea. Being the only developer, I had trouble getting the game finished on time while learning Godot and making the art. By the time I got to level design, I only had time to make 4 levels to demonstrate the basics of the mechanic. I'm strongly considering working on this some more on my spare time.

Really cool idea for a puzzle game! Of course more levels, with sound fx and music would have been great. I would like the see a post-jam version!
