A downloadable game

You are a goo wizard, an agent of the goo council. You have been sent to free the goo from the clutches of the scientists, steal the schematics of their so-called 'facility,' and then burn it to the ground... hopefully while also making good on your escape!


You don't need to destroy stuff, but you do get points for it. Your only means of doing so is by wielding the power of the goo. Find where it's contained and smash it from its cage. 

Goo spreads everywhere. It burns stuff (including you!) when it gets hot, and slows down to a crawl and becomes safe when it's cold. Heat and cool it with your rune-spells: hold right-click to open your book, draw the right shapes with the mouse by holding down left click to cast your runes, and release to cast. See the bottom left of the UI for what shapes you must draw. 


Keys to open locked doors and the crucial schematics are hidden through the level: carve a path to them by destroying and altering the environment with the goo. When you've got the schematics, escape before the timer runs out!!

Some handy tips!
- Your spells only work on the goo. You must release it first, and use it to change the environment

- Flaming hot goo destroys stuff it is touching, including the lighter coloured walls. Your heat spell is good for that!

- The timer doesn't start until you release the goo. Take that time to scope out the level, and plan your attack!
- To release the goo, collide with the chamber, and it'll pour out
- Casting heat spells while you're standing on the goo can be dangerous! Try casting a cold spell first, and swiftly moving away from your heat, or not standing on the goo at all - but that might not be possible once it's spread everywhere!

My god that fire mechanic hated me bro. Once i KNEW what was going on I loved it. Unsure what the red key did but I sure got it to, took me 40 minutes to stop crying. Good Job, Good Game, Later.

Just got done watching, big thanks for streaming you playing it's been super cool for our team to watch! It's given us a lot of good feedback watching someone go through the experience and stuff for us to touch up in the future, namely the rune drawing (I KNEW it was pretty strict but now I know I need to make it significantly more lenient with the tracking of it all, big project).

Hey man I tucked in like you did and figured it out, It was a Lesson in Patience I needed to learn in the moment lmao. Keep me posted on future Developments!

Cool game, very interesting system mechanics with the drawing and Goo spreading look forward to seeing it more polished in the future as it has a lot of potential

I liked the music a lot. It was a little hard to figure out where I should go at the beginning but not very hard. The drawing of runes was really well executed and a great gameplay mechanic!
