What is Oozy’s Lab?

A compact overview based on the game’s public Poki page.

Oozy’s Lab is a platform game in which you guide a bouncy slime through a laboratory built around movement and unexpected reactions. The room can change after you press a button, so a route that first looks obvious may need a second look.

Poki tells players to collect the moon in each level, while Wackytoaster’s own page describes the goal as reaching the finish. In our July 26 current-build playtest, every World 1 finish worked without collecting its moon, and the selector kept a red X on all five moon icons. World 2 produced a narrower result: Levels 1 and 3 worked without their moons, Level 2’s route collected one, and the final state of Levels 4 and 5 was not rechecked. On July 27, all five World 3 finishes also worked without their moons, and its selector retained five red X marks. World 4 added another bounded result: Levels 1, 2, 3 and 5 worked without their moons, while the tested Level 4 growth route collected one. In World 5, Levels 2 and 5 worked without their moons; the tested routes for Levels 1, 3 and 4 collected them. In World 6, Levels 3, 4 and 5 worked without their moons, while the final states for Levels 1 and 2 were not rechecked. In World 7, Levels 2, 4 and 5 worked without their moons; the final states for Levels 1 and 3 remain unknown. In World 8, Level 5 worked while its moon remained present; the tested routes for Levels 1–3 collected their moons, and Level 4’s final moon state was not retained, so Levels 1–4 remain unknown. That is why this guide reports moon evidence Level by Level.

Oozy also leaves color across the surfaces he touches. Poki presents that as part of the visible action; we have not found primary evidence that the trail itself is a required puzzle mechanic.

This guide does not host the game or pretend to be an official landing page. It gives you the controls, an honest starting plan, and a clearly labeled route to the original version on Poki.

Core loop

How to play Oozy’s Lab

Read the room, test a reaction, then move toward its visible goal.

  1. Move through the room and line up each jump.
  2. Press buttons, then watch what changes before making your next move.
  3. Follow the room’s visible finish. World 1 worked without its five moons in our test, but do not carry that result into a Level whose moon state has not been checked.
  4. Press R when you need a fresh attempt, or L to choose a level.

Before a walkthrough

Five careful starter tips

Conservative habits based on the published controls and objective—not a level-by-level walkthrough.

01

Trigger one thing at a time

A button can cause an unexpected reaction. After pressing it, scan the room before moving again.

General platforming advice
02

Use smaller corrections near edges

Short taps are generally easier to control than holding a direction when the landing space is narrow.

General platforming advice
03

Restart a bad setup early

If an attempt is no longer recoverable, press R and try a cleaner approach.

General platforming advice
04

Remember the level selector

Press L when you want to choose or revisit a level.

Published control
05

Reassess each room

A tactic that helped in one room may not answer the next surprise, so identify what changed before repeating it.

General platforming advice

Known limits

How many levels are there?

We will not turn update notes into an unsupported total.

No verified final total yet

We have not found a current total on Poki’s public game page. In the developer’s Construct forum thread, Wackytoaster reported adding 20 levels on June 18, 2026, followed by another 25 on July 22, 2026. Those posts confirm ongoing updates, not a final level count. We will publish a total only after it is verified in the game or stated by the developer.
