Cord orange goo

Cord orange goo are enemies in Swindler.

Appearance
The block cord orange goo comes from appears as a usual 1x1 block, only with orange, stretchy, bubbly liquid on it. The actual enemy appears as a orange cord with a mouth on the end, a mouth that bites forward to advance down the cord.

Game information
The block cord orange goo comes from will appear as a usual block with orange goo stretched across it. In levels which this block appears in, the player must stretch their cord over it. Upon stretching the cord over, a bubbly sphere will appear where the cord attached to the orange goo covered block, and a shriek will be heard. When this happens, the mouth of the creature will appear on the cord and advance down it, slowly. It will bite forward to advance, at first taking small bites, and slowly advancing to big bites. Where it bites will appear as a small bulging sphere.

It bites to move at a medium pace, slow enough for the player to advance. The cord orange goo cannot in any way come off the cord, but will stay on it until the level is completed. It is possible for it to come off if the player takes the cord off the orange goo covered block, however, this cannot be done to complete the level, as the player has to put their cord across the block. If the mouth on the cord manages to get to the player, it will engulf the player in its mouth and kill it, the player's eyes and frown visible as the squirm around.

The cord orange goo appears on levels which would be very easy to complete if the goo wasn't present. Despite its usefulness, it appears only twice in the game, on level 15 and 17.

Trivia

 * Cord orange goo is probably based off eater droplets from Dangle, Swindler being a mix of Dangle and Final Ninja. Both enemies - cord orange goo and eater droplets - would be able to latch on to the player's line extending from the top of the screen and move down the line, the player being eaten if they do not advance fast enough down. The eater droplet from Dangle could be caused to fall of the line, the cord orange goo being unable to come of the player's cord.
