Overview

Slimes have escaped from their cauldrons and it’s up to you as a wizard’s intern to sort them back into their cauldrons. Careful now, because slimes of a volatile pair will explode! Each slime’s colour indicates their element, but their actual elemental core is hidden. Talk to all the slimes and figure out who is lying, as a Popper will look and sound like one another but are secretly another. One wrong pair and you are Bamboozled!

A first-person deduction puzzle game made for Century Game Jam 2026 (Singapore) under the Puzzle theme.

How to Play

Look at your guidebook with E before starting.

Each slime has a hidden element. They'll each tell you one thing about themselves or about another slime. Some are telling the truth. Some are Poppers who will lie to trick you into making a volatile pair. The level will tell you what elements are present, so look at the logical discrepancies and find out who is the Popper!

To assist you, can use the yellow litmus paper to reveal the true element of a slime.

Sort all slimes into cauldrons without placing a volatile pair together, then hit confirm. If no cauldrons explode, you're Goo'd. But if they do... you've been Bamoozled.
