Nice, fun little game. But yeah, seems like there's an issue with sound for the web version. Wish it had more levels but you were short on time so I'll give a pass for that.

Took me a moment to find the controls, but it played well and was fun - well done :)

Very nice. The UI is a little tiny on a 4K display, but other than that, the game works great. Slime janitoring appears to be a rather dangerous occupation to have! I like it a lot, especially the way that replaying levels gets you to instinctively "speedrun" them in order to save yourself the most amount of trouble. The background music is also quite nice to see. Good job! The only "con" I can think of is that I wish diagonal movement was a thing... :)

of course 10/10

Well made and interesting gameplay. I like the extra time you spent on making the menus look good. I think the next step would be to polish the graphics some.

It's a very good idea, but unfortunately I couldn't get past level 2 as the game crashes when the dynamite explodes (macOS).

Those shadows look amazing, i like the designs of the stages, they are quite challenging, well done!

liked the puzzle design of the game but this got frustrating quick!

Hey I really enjoyed your game! It's kinda like an action game mixed with a puzzle game, and I think it fits the theme very well. There were a few levels that were extremely challenging because there were multiple sources of water and you only had a small amount of ammunition. Overall I think this is a very unique game and would love to see how it would play if you continued development on it. Congratulations on making a game in 48 hours!

Dude I have very good time with this one, it is really challenging game and it is fun. Slime spreding has awesome mechanics. Dude I enjoyed it so much. And it looks like you are primary programer guy. ;)

I tried the mac version. For some reason when I used TNT on the second level the game would crash. Not sure why. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how it was working on this idea. The game I worked on is a bit similar and we had a hard time getting mechanics that seemed interesting.

Nice game, one of the funniest that I played. Well finished and challenging, very good job!!

I liked UI, it's clear management. A good idea. Try a variety with different types of obstacles

Your game is very nice to play. The general impact is positive. As a professional game dev I would suggest... just kidding haha Nonetheless, if you want to work on this project more I suggest making a difficulty incresing algorithm. Graphics - very nice. Controls are also working very well. Maybe you could also take a glimpse at my game? I already enlarged it into a wholesome Android game :)

Noice game

rosden 2018-09-02 14:26

I thought the idea was interesting and fun. I did get a bit annoyed at dying all the time though XD

Interesting game. I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/WOSoM8jnjZc

You deleted the web version!

bradur 2023-04-25 05:45

@tanner07 That is a weird comment to make on a four year old game :D

2023-04-26 16:57

You saw the comment so it kinda worked. I'm sure it was a great game!

bradur 2023-04-28 08:42

@tanner07 You are correct. Here's the link: https://bradur.github.io/LD42/ . Audio doesn't seem to work and if you don't play fullscreen you may not see your character. But feel free to try it if you want :smile:
