Tardigrades (pronounced /ˈtɑːrdɪɡreɪdz/), affectionately dubbed “water bears”, are eight-legged microscopic marvels known for their remarkable resilience. But did you know you can now embark on a totally bizarre adventure through time AS a tardigrade? Yes, indeed!

Now you can be a pint-sized powerhouse that defies DEATH!

This game is a little rough around the edges, but I would really appreciate if you would help rate it! If your game needs ratings, I can help rate your game too!

We have heard your comments that our game is too short and we are seriously thinking about developing a full version, which will be able to fully deliver the originally conceived experience.

What do you think of your creations, contestants? Will you be developing them, or moving on to something new?

It's hard.

No, it's not a puzzle game, it's a rage game.. kinda..

..ok not really, we have checkpoints.

But blobs are cute, only game hard.

Yes, the game is stressful.. cute and hard and stressful.

There is timer to make it more stressful, we hope you like it.

Get golden blobs, it's even harder. (They better than brown blobs, and more cute)

(We nerfed this game multiple times already. Play version 1.2 or in the browser, it's easier now)

Play blobs. Blobs hard.

Please like and Enjoy!

After a jam, there's always that urge to improve the game. You sit down and list the tasks: fix something here, add something there, rework this, and maybe even remove that entirely. But then you look at this list of tasks and realize it’s already turning into a completely different game. And this is where it’s crucial to strike a balance: keep the game as it is but make it clearer. Remove the annoying parts while preserving all of its charm.

As the results approach, I’m preparing a post-jam version. I’m not sure if I managed to keep the spirit of the original, but I hope the game has become more enjoyable.

Let’s see how it turns out. In the meantime, feel free to check out the jam version of the game and leave your feedback!

This tiny town is the perfect place to start a family! It looks like this whimsical child has inherited traits from both of his parents... He has his father's nose.

Since LD is basically a festival of gaming, I am doing sth odd: allowing myself to share a game, very old by today's standards.

From 2006. It's an old gem of a crazy platformer! Definitely has its own character! Along with a few fresh ideas possibly?? Never beat it, back then with my friends, when I was little. Maybe unfairly difficult. Interestingly it ran on a 300 MHz CPU.. though it lagged like hell. 18 years later.. can I beat it? I just read it has over 170 screens LoL

The New Satan Sam

What a name to remember... still have no idea how this got into my hands back then. The guy shoots / blasts / rotates in the air and propels himself to beat the enemies and to jump over gaps.

To the older guys.. anyone ever played this?

Version 1.25: NOW LESS BORING!! ~

Compo Version ~ Itch.io ~ Game Page ~

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/multimorph https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/cellspace-cellular-automata-sandbox https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/little-life

New update incoming!!

Poppet version 1.2 is now available and comes with a number of quality of life improvements​. We have also provided a Linux build for the hotfix and 1.2 versions of the game.

[Patch Notes]

• Collision has been tweaked to eliminate frustration. The Microwave is no longer curse!!
• A proper options menu has been implemented providing a handful of screen and audio settings including fullscreen mode.
• The lose screen will now display the ghost type that kills you.
• The win screen will now display all the Poppets you have defeated.
• Poppets are more chatty and will shut up when stunned.
• Lights will now flicker during Power Surges.
• Blacklight symbols will now appear in other parts of the room.
• The green button activates far less frequently.
• The volume of some sfx have been modified to improve the experience.
• A lot of bloat has been removed from the game's directory to minimize the file size. Most of this was due to high quality sound files.
• A message will now display when a new Poppet spawns.
• The main menu scene now mirrors the main level correctly.

Thank you again for all of the love and support for Poppet. ​We really appreciate all the feedback received over the jam period and hope that players will continue to enjoy Poppet outside of LD56.

Play Poppet v1.2 now!
