Weewit the Space Axolotl

Game made in 2 days for ScoreSpace Jam #14 - Theme Merge + Scoreboard. Solo developer.

Goal:

Help Weewit, our Space Axolotl to survive as long as possible! He's trapped in maze and there are evil animals blocking his fun.

How to play:

• Hold LMB (Left Mouse Button) to run faster. Release it to have Weewit run slower.
• Don't get hit.
• GAME is hard at first but gets easier once you get the hang!! Everything obstacle is doable!
• Choose between 9 different merges:

• Speed : Faster
• Spider Web/Ball and chain: Lose Score
• Green +: Gain score
• Shackles: Makes you slower (might be good depending on strategy)
• Shrinking Ray: Makes you smaller (great)
• Apple: A bit bigger (usually not good)Godzilla: Try for yourself :)

Tips

Give the game a couple tries, it's hard at first but once you get the hang it's not that difficult (I've made some 200seconds+ runs). Being good depends on skill and correct timing. And of course, avoid bad buffs at all costs (apple, godzilla).

There are a couple strategies:

1. Going slow and "farming" survival time/shrinking ray.
2. Going VERY fast and farming +2/+3 second merges
