Some really interesting mechanics you got going there! It has some elements of tower defense but with a twist that fits the theme really well. The music is really crazy :)
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD40 → Slime's Guardian

Nice entry! Best tactic apparently is to surround the pit with regular guards :D
Love this kind of games ! :) You should get some greats notation
As I expect of many of the games from this theme, it was difficult; that's kind of the caveat of the theme. And the difficulty is making the theme work without making it too difficult. For me, I'm not very good at your game, yet... I tried putting guards on one side, because I guess you run out of gaurds if you put too many... but I still wasn't very good. Game had a nice overall feel though. Either I hoped it would be a tad easier, or I just need a better strategy /get better at it. Thanks for making it so you don't have to download stuff.
@tulipekoni I tried to put guards everywhere once, but I ran out of guards (not exactly sure how that mechanic works, count-wise), so then I tried to put guards on one half, and cover other half with player
Funny and original tower defense! Good job!
Fun game, but difficulty level was so high that after a few playthroughs it was just a bit too repetitive. Wished I could spent more time setting up guards and maybe have a better idea up front how many I could place at a time.
I like the game but it got harder so fast that you couldn't really prepare!
cute slimes. the music is kinda all over the place though. still good job!
Cute game, nice riff on the tower defence genre. The difficulty increased really rapidly and I had trouble putting up enough guards but otherwise nice job! I really liked the slime sprites :D
the slimes are so cute. i like the way you hint the player slimes are coming(the icons). nice work! But the game got harder so fast for me.
Aww the slimes are so cute!
I did not find it very beautiful, but I found it fun and funny, congratulations.
Great game. Really fun and hard!! Is addictive and I really enjoy the tower defense games. 10/10 metacritics :3
I love how you took a tower defense game and applied the theme to it. I lost the first couple of times because my shadows were shooting me because I had no place to walk.
I like the idea of shadows which are danger to the character as well and you have to 'reload' them. I think the controls might be more responsive if remove "stop on shoot" and add an ability to speed-up / dash (e.g on 'shift') with some small mana-cost.
nice game. But why are the towers also attacking the player ?
@the-bm because the more you have, the worse it is ;)
