Fun little game with good art.

That's a neat idea, but killing humans is incredibly hard. Slow them down when they overlap you maybe?

Altough anything referencing Zappa gets points for that.

Overall a very nice game. The concept was solid and the execution was well done. If I had to suggest of improvements, I would say that it would benefit greatly from more audio components, music and sfx. Overall, a great game. Sidenote* I've always wanted to be a clan devouring slime.

Pretty cool game.

I think we had a similar idea, but yours is light-years more complete. Nice little game! I agree that the humans-killing was pretty difficult. Love the slime feeding on them!

I am a huge fan of combat systems that are deliberately just button-mashing, particularly when they match the theme of the game so well. Good job!

I really like the idea and slime mechanics.

Made humans shoot each other. 10/10 Would troll again.

Very fun game. I like how the slim gets bigger with every consumption!

cawrtz 2015-08-25 14:07

Love it! Seeing the slime grow is so satisfying. The game is well implemented except for the fact that space and down arrow will sometimes scroll the page.
Well done!

secularbaron 2015-08-25 14:19

Yeah. My whole web browser implementation has been a nightmare. I'll work on that.

gaspard_ 2015-08-25 14:25

I hope no kids see this!
The game was pretty good.
The fact that archers run of arrows was a nice touch, and I liked how you could use cover.

logiclogue 2015-08-25 14:53

Nice game. Method of killing humans was a nice concept. Overall, I enjoyed it

triplevisiongames 2015-08-25 15:09

Good idea - the art was a bit mixed up with some nice bits (trees in particular). Nice AI with the people going to get their arrow back and also shooting each other by accident.

Would be cool if you killed them quicker and grew, shrunk and moved faster - a good start though.

Good loking minimalistic game.

lukepilgrim 2015-08-26 12:32

background music would be nice, but overall a nice little idea which could make a very addicting game if it would be a bit more challenging. loved the idea!

inbetweengames 2015-08-26 13:14

Nice concept: but unfortunately a couple of issues that hindered my enjoyment:

- when behind a tree, you can't see what's happening
- I ate a human by a hut, which made me grow, but then it seemed I was stuck inside the hut and couldn't move any more

The humans could do with a bit of pathfinding too, as they basically just shot their own houses.

Mashing spacebar was a surprisingly fun way to eat though! om nom nom

unept 2015-08-27 04:20

Nice idea. All that button-mashing really put me in the mindset of something that digests slowly. Very funny.

superfreak 2015-08-28 08:47

Solid, fun little game with a cute art-style. Enjoyed it!

wicht 2015-08-28 09:20

Nice one. Scope is perfect. Art is nice. Controls were a bit annoying (couldn't walk diagonally). Good entry!

robothobodanceparty 2015-08-28 09:26

Simple yet cool idea! Also I may have just broken my spacebar, haha. Good work!

boehrsi 2015-08-28 12:40

Nice one, just a bit expensive to buy a new keyboard after every round ;).

xanjos 2015-08-28 13:14

There's a issue with the web version where if you hold the up or down key you end up scrolling the page by accident and the time it takes to absorb a human is quite long but this was a pretty solid game.

secularbaron 2015-08-28 16:05

@Xanjos I was hoping if you press the "FullScreen" button on Ludum Dare game window it would correct the problem but it seems a lot of people are having that issue. :/

dickpoelen 2015-08-30 10:38

Really like the concept, but mashing space isn't as much fun :) I think you can have a fun game of picking of people and avoiding others with the mashing

enrymion 2015-08-31 11:02

Not a fan of mashing buttons, just holding the key down or doing it automatically would have been much better.

secularbaron 2015-08-31 13:19

Thanks everyone for the feedback. When I wrap up the final version of the game soon i'm going to let you select from automatic digestion or manual.

jupiter_hadley 2015-09-05 16:56

Fun game! I included it in part 17 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/qmrKCmuKBqk
