Absorbia
General overview and theme application
As the theme is “You are the weapon” we opted for a slime as the main character that can adapt itself to the element it has become, details on the transformations and each of the abilities that accompany it will be explained in later sections. The player is tasked to solve puzzles and defeat enemies to get through the levels. They can do so by pressing E to consume, and in doing so they take on the characteristics of what they have eaten. Effectively “becoming the weapon” in the sense that the abilities are all a result of the manifestation of the elements on the player.

Quick, fun puzzles, good controls, and a lovely art style.
Great idea! I had fun playing it and the elements have potential. Love the artstyle, it brings me nostalgia bc of mario games! Keep developing it! Congrats.
I don't know if there are anymore, so I think I beat it! Love the idea of consuming elements to use their properties! I wonder what air could be used as? Maybe a wind box to move faster or be invulnerable to enemies? I definitely think all of the elements could have more properties as upgrades or something, like water could be used to slip between small gaps. There is lots of potential for creative abilities!
Homie...how did you get 9 stars? XD
Now that I think about it. I have no idea. There was a time where I thought I had already collected a star in one area, but I could have died and it respawned and still counted it as collected. Maybe? That's my best explanation.
Hey! We checked in the game and it appears the collider stays active after the sprite was removed, this was causing a ghost collider :D
Bro just made the next Kirby game 🔥👍
had lots of fun I haven't finished it yet but nice
Wow this is really creative. Good sound, animations, and puzzles. I did notice I got soft locked in a area, and after beating the boss I could not use 1, 2, 3. Great job keep it up!
Ayo? Where did you get softlocked? And also the 123 thing is surprising. It was working fine for the two of us.
This part here, I removed the rock power up before breaking the path down. Can't jump high enough on the left and blocked on the right.
Gotchya. Well should me n Torben keep this project alive I'll remedy that
yeah i had the same thing happened to me
Wait could you not make it through that one block gap? If not that'll be on the list for fixin
yeah, don't worry. We found game-breaking bugs right after our game was submitted as well.
