Blob walking animation, need helpz

[Alevice]

Hi guys, long time ago since I last visited.

Been inspired to work on pixel anim, and decided to start with some blob walking anim, but I dont seem to get this thing right.

First wip


It was my impression that a living slimy blob would try to displace itself in a manner simmilar to a jump, so i set up this first wip, but I think it seems more like he is shooting something outta his head.

Second wip


It then occured to me that he should also drag himself forwards, horizontally, but I still feel it is not quite right, any ideas?


Thanks in advance.

It feels like he needs a bit of a hop. When he's lurching forward I feel like he's hopping, but it looks like he doesn't leave the ground.
