You are a magical walking slime capable of absorbing the elements of your surroundings. These skills will be useful today in the local graveyard which has become overrun with elemental ghosts...


This game was made for GoedWare Jam #6 for the theme Absorbsion and I fixed it up for Newgrounds Halloween. Some edits include the camera not being too high to see lower platforms, more ghosts and water sources in levels 2 and 3, and a final score for each level. Get a perfect score on each level to find the new secret easter egg...

More information on the updates can be found in the update devlog

I set the game to have a full screen option, but the software has trouble stretching for fullscreen, so if your monitor is extra large, you might see beyond the level.

(Quick note: Several months ago, I noticed the platform for the entire first level seemed to be missing, so the character just fell through the gray background. I worried I somehow deleted the files for the platform before I uploaded it, but it seems to have fixed itself after I saved the game to edit the description(???). For lack of a better explanation, it appears to have been an itch glitch. I will add a note if I ever find out what caused it. If it happens again, here's the Newgrounds verion.)
