Globs Walkthrough
This is amazing, really original concept.
Some advice: (might be me not having enough game sense but here goes)
1. Some kind of tutorial that shows the extend mechanic and that the red one is the one you want to get to the finish.
2. More compact UI for ho long a block can extend has the arrows might sometimes reach outside the screen
As the others have said, everything else is pretty much flawless.
Good game!
Wow this is a really well made puzzle game! Was just right my ally :)
The "aha moments" worked well, the visual language was clear, the blocks charming, the art style great, the level design had enough hidden tutrorials to show what's up and where, very good experience
The influence of Snakebird is evident and it's a great homage ^^
I did notice that the cloud level (with the bear) that could go to the ceiling had a small UI issue, where the pivot got lost in the part without a ceiling
Also when playing the first two space levels, they just got solved without me even understanding how they did, which was confusing, maybe making sure the player udnerstands the mechanics before would help there
Besides that it was overall more than great, not just for a game jam but overall. Played it in a sitting and had a blast! Please make more :)
The little faces and expressions remind me of Snipperclips. They are just so charming.
cool game, lots of great ideas!
really needs an undo button
but really cool game
love this game~
Really cool concept but i suck at this game 4/5
This game is awesome. Great graphics, great soundtrack. Challenging puzzles
Fun game!
omg so good!
Definitely top place.
Actual thought required
Loving this art style! Simple and effective, great!
like it
This is literally amazing! This game definitely deserves to win. Would love to see this be release officially on Steam etc... I would pay for this, thinking it was made in such a short time is mind-blowing
Another YolWoocle banger B)
Ohhhh, is the goal to make the red block touch the green block? I really did not understand the goal. I went through a couple iterations on what my understanding was before I finally figured it out. Also I really wish it took one click instead of two to resize a block; it should be doable without too much noisy input resulting in accidental movement… Maybe if you also added support for undoing the last move it could be more forgiving.
Other than that though, this is really intuitive. The simple pixel art is obviously delightful. The bright up-beat music adds a great vibe too. You can’t play this without a smile on your face.
Also the expressions on the block faces depending on what you do to them is over-the-top-excellent.
Thank you for playing and your feedback! We will probably update the game in a past-jam release :)
Great
This game is awesome! You deserve to win
I like it except that the mouse seems to be glitching out in the browser. It disappears then reappears quickly several times per second.
Great game ! I liked the core mechanism. I found the overall look of the game super polished! The ambient sound is present, adding a touch without being obtrusive.
If you want to test back our game for the GMTKGame Jam 2024 : Feed The Beast. Feedbacks are appreciated too.
Either I am completely dumb or I am missing something :D
I have no clue what to do, maybe some guidance?
Hey, don't worry, here is a guide !

Hi! You need to press on one of the blobs, then drag the little handles that appear, similarly to programs like Word. Hope that helps!
Oh, dragging :D
Was clicking everywhere like mad, before. Cool idea, loved the visuals!
Wow, very nice puzzle game, fits the theme perfectly!
Feels so complete, with so much levels.
Thanks!
