The red slimes spraying everywhere was alarming, I hadn't noticed them sneak off to a corner to multiply! Neat game, but very hard. Once there are enough red slimes you can't really stop them from getting to the center. Also not sure about giving the slimes away, I assume you hand a blue slime to the man on the left? I couldn't get it to work though.
slimes made bloodbath on my screen) Pretty good! Like it
To give slimes away, pick-up blue one, walk right next to the other guy and press space. I also uploaded HTML5 version and lowered difficulty a whole lot. Hope you have better experience now. :)
Hey hey, the itch.io link is broken for me :confused:
The web link isn't working, download until link updated. Cool and slimy game.
Hey it seems like the itch.io link is broken
The HTML link isn't working for me right now :o I'll check back later, looks like a neat game though ^^
Silly me. The itch.io page was still on draft mode. It should work now. Thanks for feedback!
i don't think you can use different person's art in a COMPO game...
On the second try, the game work for me ! really nice execution !! :thumbsup:
All the art you see is made by me in PyxelEdit during the compo, there are no other artists or copyright issues.
Congratulations on finishing the game! It was fun, I'd love to see another version with more functionality at a later point! :)
You're very talented !
I love the art! Cool concept too :)
Really fun game, well done! I don't think I'll ever be able to look at a slime the same way again :D
The walking is a little slow - but beside that I like it :)
Nice game! Started out nice and relaxing then ramped up quickly fitting the theme perfectly.
really fun game with pleasant control, but I did not quite understand the point
Some really nice touch in this game. Really like the moment when you realise the red slimes are plotting something.
(does the guy actually kiss the slimes?!!)
give the slimes all the love
ah, yes slimes. Perhaps one of the most neglected species of fantasy enemies that've been getting some limelight in recent years.
Well I found a glitch where if you game over and then restart no slime spawns
Haha that was great! I thought the slimes were just innocent little critters that would eventually fill up the screen. Nope. Did not expect that ending at all.
Great job!
Small update. I upped player movement speed and lifted the spawnrate of Slimes. Feels like good adjustment. What you guys think?
Awesome changes! Makes the game much more fun! I'd probably change the key to pick up the slime as well.
Feels much better :) - I have to minor problems: The bloods keeps staying on top of the guy that fetches the slimes and if you get stuck in the middle between to many slimes you won't be able to move/ push them away
Added Protips for Higher score in the game description for those interested in becoming pro at slime management!
As for the pickup key. I could add other use keys like "E" besides Space but it might be against rules now that the development time is over?
I'm not sure but I think if you document it properly it should be no problem. What about making the pushing besides possible without an extra button?
I got 12000 points then I died :). The game started very slowly and at first I thought nothing would happen. The red slimes were impossible to stop once they started getting traction. Interesting stuff!
The controls were very solid and the graphics looked nice. The sounds were very run-of-the-mill but they were good to have. Carrying a slime felt natural. I would have liked the person wanting slimes to say something else every once in a while, and perhaps tell me where he went when he got what he wanted!
Good job!
12000 points? Well done. I can barely get 1200! Sucking at my own game, haha.
I was planning on having multiple people coming to help with the slimes, from multiple directions and having multiple dialogues. But that ended up being a flavor stuff that I didn't have time to do for the compo. Maybe I'll continue this project to it planned conclusion some day.
The dude you give the slimes to could have had a slight bigger interaction radius, maybe also a highlight for the slime you interact with. But still, well executed.
Made a little update. Thank you all for the feedback! It's really shaping the game to be more balanced.
Nice work! I almost got to 10000 points. I have to say, I did try to merge the slimes a few times at the start even though I clearly remembered that no where did it say that could be done haha.
Fun game! The hitbox on the player was a little annoying sometimes, as I'd try to interact with slimes only for it not to work... Also First time playing I didn't pay attention to my score and I didn't understand that you were supposed to capture slimes and sell them off to the dude on the left. (But once I did I got points, of course) Good job
