Slimmoning Bounce by GiomomoGiovanna

[raw]
made by GiomomoGiovanna for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

‘Wakey-wakey!’

Your mind blurred as you heared your best friend’s voice coming afar.

‘Bro you really need to get up now… It seems we are in trouble and I’ve got two messages for us.’

You opened your eyes, to see a slimy, jelly-like ball bouncing around in the voice of your best friend.

‘Great!!! Dude you are finally here!’

’So the bad news is, TADA!!! Now we are all SLIIIIIIME…’

Ignoring your rowdy friend, you looked down at your body and saw a bubble popping out of your belly.

’…But with magic, which is the good news. Dude we are magical slime!’

You saw your friend jump onto a cloud that appeared from nowhere, the sunlight shone through his gelatinous body and paused on your face.

’ I researched around while you were sleeping. The exit should be at the top. Maybe we can find out what happened to us when we get there.’

He jumped forward on more clouds as he spoke.

’ Bro, I won’t wait for you anymore, you can’t catch up with me HAHAHAAA!’

That was also the moment you got an idea in your mind, as you saw a floating key hanging in opposite direction to your friend.

Hey buddy, I'm awake and now snacking while gaming. It's a real juggling act not to die laughing and inhale my food the wrong way. Your game is seriously awesome, those visuals are just too cute – must've taken you ages, right? After playing, it's clear we've got heaps to learn. Kudos to you, my friend, you've done something incredible.

The web version froze while loading! Is it a problem with my browser? I ended up downloading the compressed file to play. The slimes are so cute!! Long live cat ear slimes!!

Cool idea for a couch co-op, lots of fun! I love the art/music. You should definitely publish a post-jam version, I could see this being really fun with friends on a console/pc with game pads!!

I had a little trouble with the platforming before I go the hang of it (easy to get stuck on an edge), that could maybe be tweaked?

Awesome! Playing it alone and controlling two characters at once is a challenge! But it's fun!

I tried playing alone and I did not do well :) The music was great and the characters were cute. Wish I got to see more gameplay, maybe I can get my wife to play with me later!

Yeah, playing solo was a challenge, but otherwise the game looks pretty nice:)

Played with a friend and it was fun! Maybe it'd be easier if you could phase through platforms when jumping below them, a lot of time we got stuck sandwiched between two platforms.

I can climb walls and get behind the map :)

The visual style and audio are charming. I am sure it is fun with 2 players but a single player mode can also be implemented (maybe with a timer?)
