Really fun game! Also, thanks for having a Linux version :D

How do you restart the level when you die? :-P

Cute little game. I like the way the different slimes move. It takes some thinking. Good job!

I like the game. Fun puzzle game. I did find a bug I think. If an enemy slime dies with a bomb and you move onto the place the enemy was before you die.

gnerkus 2016-04-19 01:57

@tanis You have to quit the game. I didn't have enough time to fix the bug before submission

@owyoow Thanks for playing and finding the bug. I couldn't fix it in time.

@StianTheDark You're welcome

@lanestp Thank you very much!

I keep dying and I don't know why. I'm not walking into a slime, a red tile, or a bomb. Is there some difference between the differently colored grey tiles?

gnerkus 2016-04-22 14:42

@Marjie62 It's the result of an insidious bug (see @owyoow 's comment). I'll fix it as soon as I can. Thank you for playing the game.

I think I found another little bug: if you use up all your turns exactly when you reach the end, you seem to end up in a weird state where you can see the next level but can't move any more.

Regardless, nice idea! It was sometimes quite tricky, and I like how you made moving as the slime ball more expensive than normal movement so that you couldn't use it all the time (the game would be broken!). A simple set of rules made for some nice level design. Also, good graphics and music! Nice work.

@sftrabbit Thank you very much! I have a ton of bug-fixing to do when the voting is over.

Nice entry. I really like how the slime guy move. Like this kind of games :)

tomlum 2016-04-23 02:31

Would be great if I didn't have to restart the application every time I died. It's also really hard to see why it is that I die when I die. But the art and concept are really cool.

gnerkus 2016-04-23 05:45

@marmpa Thank you

@tomlum I'm truly sorry. I didn't have enough time to fix those bugs. I will after the voting ends.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Its really cool game.I wish I could play it more but its small.

gnerkus 2016-04-24 10:40

@MayanUnreal Thank you. I hope to polish it after once the voting ends.

kristophtg 2016-04-24 11:56

It would be useful if you could restart the game. Also there is a bug, where using up your moves and reaching the green tile at the same time makes you lose and win at the same time (Shows the screen saying you have been consumed, but moves you to the next level).

Nice game, reminds me of MicRogue on Android.

2016-04-24 18:04

i'm still waiting :D

gnerkus 2016-04-24 18:11

@Freank I've added the game on indiexpo.net. You can include it in the video.

deadbodyoutline 2016-04-25 15:36

Nice entry! Simple, funny and with an excellent background music, I played it a lot :D

Some thoughts: It could be good to have a way to restart, instead of closing/opening the game. Also, some tiles are confusing, maybe mixing them on a chess pattern could be nice ;)

bjorn 2016-05-02 06:16

That was fun

gnerkus 2016-05-02 07:24

@bjorn Thank you.

Very unclear, this game needs a tutorial. I kept dying without understanding why, and the fact that there's no restart button made it even worse.
