Fake to Escape
You’re a sneaky slime trying to escape a large castle. You can absorb objects and then form into them to trick and avoid enemy guards.
Made in a week for Brackey's game jam 2022 for the theme "It is not real".
Controls:
- Move: (Left and Right keys) OR ( ‘A’ and ‘D’ keys)
- Jump: Space
- Dash: Shift
- Absorb object: Down key OR ‘S’ key
- Disguise as object: Up key OR ‘W’ key

Theme interpretation (It is not real):
I looked up some synonyms for “not real” or “unreal”, I found words like "pretend" and "mock" which inspired this idea. A slime that can absorb and then mock objects, as it tries to escape!
This is my first game jam! Happy to hear any feedback or constructive criticism!

Holy shit those arrows are heat seeking missiles, wtf. Minor complain, no way to dodge arrows? Its total death when you touch the light, not even a chance of escape.
It's great but the homing arrows just make escape from little glances impossible.
cool game
i tried "stealth is optional" but it seems the guard's arrows are rocket powered lmao
Awesome game!
