Art style and movement reminds me alot of awesomenauts for some reason. The slime colours behaving differently is interesting. I am finding it difficult to last long tho.

@youpeoples Huh, I hadn't thought of Awesomenauts - Though that makes sense! I might tweak the difficulty a bit later, make enemies do less damage or make the floating blobs heal more
Great art and fun concept! The Mousewheel being able to change the color of the slime is one of those little things that really makes it fun! Keep up the good work!
@fibonacci1321 Thank you!
Nice take on the Theme :thumbsup: managed to get myself stuck going up a wall after a while but was a fun game!
@wtg Oof, sorry about that - The collision code I was using had a lot of issues, and a few persisted. Glad you enjoyed it, though!
Slime for the slime-sheriff! Interesting color-switching mechanics, i had quite some fun.
@daggett Good to hear! The sheriff and western theme were actually a pretty late addition, but I think it was a good call. Thanks for playing!
Great Art, fun concept too congratz! I would recommend that you do not have ammo limit, if the player missed many shots, he would end up dying to shoot =)
@rafael-souza Thanks! I unfortunately need the ammo limit, to help fit the theme, but I can probably adjust some values so it's less punishing if you misfire.
The only thing I'd recommend would be to have a help or about screen that told the player what each color did. Awesome game, though!
@kntenshi Thanks! I'll add that to the LD page for now
Very well done(I really like the visuals :) ), also gameplay is quite engaging
Great concept, I really enjoyed this game :) However, when I wait untill every enemy comes, then I can one shot kill them by placing two purple blocks and go behind them. The yellow slimes explodes and you easily win :) And background music would be great too :) Good job :)
Congrats on completing the game!! Interesting take on the theme! Though the game was a little difficult, the mechanics were really well executed. I enjoyed figuring out what each color could be used for, and how to best manage those resources. Nice job with the art too! I enjoyed the style, and the cowboy slime was adorable.
@zan-kavcic Thanks!
@maoap Thank you! Yeah, like i've said with others, there's definitely room for improvement with game balance. I also would have added music, if I had any idea how to make music.
@drumgadget-433 Glad to hear you liked it! I'm glad the visuals paid off, in the end
If you were to change this to a vs game or a team shooter this could be a fun splatoon-esque game
@gear-steak That was my original idea, actually! I've had the idea for the game for a while as an arena shooter type thing, but I decided it'd work as a singleplayer game for the jam
Nice little defense game. I like the graphics, but you should give the enemies or the player an other color so you can different between them better. And a background song would be nice while playing x) But overall funny game, good job!
Fun to play! Cute graphics. :)
I like it! Smooth gameplay and I dig the art style. Pretty intuitive approach for refilliong ammo which fits the theme nicely. Overall a solid 2D entry! I do think putting a little more time into the background would enhance the experience quite a bit (I see you did some basic parallax layers but would be nice to have a more vibrant background!)
@stevecrse Thank you!
@jabujabu Thanks! I definitely agree there - the background was kind of a last minute thing, but a more colorful scene would definitely have improved things.
Really clever idea and slick game elements. Top tier entry for sure.
Fun little game. Enjoyed the art style and color mechanics.
Great gameplay, really enjoyed it! Some music would have improved it a lot but I guess you know that :). We also made a slimy game if you want to try it out ;).
@lodugh For sure! Thanks for giving it a try
Cool game i like the mechanics with the different colors but i did got myself stuck first time with the purple slime as i did not know that it had other mechanics than the green one. Art also very pretty i think
@aterlamia Thanks! Sorry if any of the mechanics weren't immediately clear
@maakole Thank you!
