The graphics are good. The game is nice to look at.

How exactly do you attack? I love how the game looks. The camera is really strange though, why is not the player in the middle?

The graphics are nice, I like how the sand changes after you walk on it. So,you cannot attack the slime, only die ? The camera angle is weird, and at some point it just randomly changed.

bamboo 2014-08-26 12:03

There's no attack button -- you and the slime both take damage when you collide. As for the camera, I didn't put the player in the middle because I wanted it nice and low and his fat head kept blocking the view. :D

bamboo 2014-08-26 12:07

You start with 10 health and the slime has 1000. You each take 1 point when you collide. Seems hopeless, but it isn't.

Graphics are stylish and nice, but I couldn't figure out if I were doing it right. I guess it's impossible to win?
Also I don't get the singleplayer comment in the description. Oh well.

I love the camera angle! Makes it feel like a cool movie. Unfortunately it tends to glitch a lot when I try to attack. Audio was missing which was a shame. I'd still love to see more :)

I think I understand what I need to do but it sure seems hard (and slow!). I keep getting myself stuck on a wall (because I can't see them), which makes it harder. The camera really spazzes out if I get attacked near a wall. Certainly a very nice looking game, though!

Pretty funny idea, and clever twist on the theme. I like the cartoony look too. Good work!

(Am I the only one who "gets it"?)

Gets easier once the Americans wake up and come online! ;)

I still couldn't complete it though. Had a nice matador tactic going but once I got trapped against a wall it was all over. Got down to around 600 one time...

Very crafty idea nicely executed. The art style is lovely and clean. A few sounds would have gone a long way. Good work!

hahaha very funny game, I just did not figure how to attack though.

chrisgaudino 2014-08-27 14:48

Awesome art style and a cool idea.

I couldn't get the mac version to run. I always just got a message that the app couldn't be opened. The web player ran fine though.

Also, a couple times when I was close to both a wall and the slime, the camera would start spinning really fast and not stop until I was dead.

Nice game,love the graphics. That cartoony style is so good.
To bad we can't attack, and to bad there is no sound, it would have strengthen the feel. I think there is a trick but I can figure it out.

Noooooooooooooooooo I got "connection lost" when it was only 9 points left! whyyyyyyyy! :P Nice take on the theme!

bamboo 2014-08-28 09:49

Sorry about the broken Mac build -- I've re-built it for "x86" (instead of "Universal" as before) and re-uploaded it.

Thanks for all the comments! Glad to see some people picked up on the angle I was going for. :)

jiyambi 2014-08-28 11:42

Kudos for a unique take on the theme, though I do have to say I felt the butt of the joke rather than sharing in the laugh ;)

bradsmallplanet 2014-08-28 22:28

This game looks great, but I can't figure out how to actually play it.

zkenshin 2014-08-30 02:47

Liked the aesthetic, including the action-y camera. Nice entry. :)

jukimv1986 2014-09-01 01:47

The game looks nice but the camera did some tricks on me while I was being pushed up from jumping at the slime. I would like to know if there is a way to beat it. Good work!

bamboo 2014-09-01 03:23

Let me put it this way: If you can get the slime's health to go down far enough that the game ends, then you've beat it. :)

javadocmd 2014-09-04 21:36

Very impressive in art style, perspective, and concept. Unfortunately I keep getting disconnected at 1 health. I can't even tell if that's a bug or not. Oh well. Pretty neat anyway.

linuus 2014-09-06 16:58

3d games done for ludum dare have a tendency to look awful, but here that is not the case! It has a distinct style and looks polished.
Now the gamplay on the other hand feels very unfinished, but I'm willing to look past that for such nice graphics!

sheepolution 2014-09-13 11:21

While running away from your opponent isn't the most fun mechanic, I did enjoy the game. Interesting camera angle, but it worked.

skiddings 2014-09-14 01:09

I'm afraid to say I didn't really get it. The camera kept glitching out too when against a wall.
