What about those silent jellisacs?

I've noticed, as probably all of you have also, that of all the items in Ur which can be harvested, only jellisacs have no voice. Everything from peat bogs to chickens to metal rocks for pity's sake will talk back to you when you "harvest" them... but the jellisacs remain silent, keeping their gooey, gloopy personalities as mysteries. Why do you think this might be?

  • Perhaps it is an ancient curse by an angry Giant.

  • They make such an awesome sound when you scoop them that anything more would be totally anticlimactic.

  • ^ Oh yeah, I totally agree. One of my favorite game sounds.

  • I've over a bigger bag full of jellisacs. I only go for the schlooop. I made one of the blocks that used to use them, (just the one for the  quest) but have otherwise not actually used them.

    I guess now we will 'soon' have a use for blocks and as we can't buy fuel I will have to start using them, but it's the sound that gets me down those bogs

    Jellisac silent? Anything but! They're just not very chatty

  • I'm with Irenic and Sirentist on this one, too...the "schloop...!pop!" noise is the best noise in Glitch!

  • It reminds me of the smuggler sound effect.

  • I go harvesting mainly for the sound payoff, that has resulted in quite a lot lying about my house but they ARE a rather fetching shade of green as well.

  • Jellisac schlorps are one of my favourite game sounds. You know who are keeping to themselves? The fireflies. I think they're plotting against us.
