I noticed a picture of Jeff Goldblum in your assets folder, but I am not seeing a secret.\n\nThe game is fast, but could use some more feedback. It also might be more fun if the blobs weren't SO accurate, but the speed you move makes up for that somewhat.\n\nI like the almost floaty movement, and I think you got the balance of open space and tight corridors just right. It felt short, which I count as a good thing. To be honest you don't have a lot of variety going on here, so I think it was smart to keep it short.\n\nCheers!\n\n-LB","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":711881,"author_name":"Mike Burns","author_uid":"mike-burns","epoch":1633326320,"text":"@the-lame-brain Jeff!
