Pretty hilarious little game! The art and characters were charming and I enjoyed the unconventional premise. The flower picking run back was a little brutal though, it would be a lot more tolerable if you could just grab the sword immediately after restarting.
When I saw the slime corpse aroud I laughed our laugh, especially since two seconds ago the other slime talked about the peace, it is just next to your house dude ! Great job !
Thanks for playing!
@iwilliams Changed some of the dialogue wording to make it less misleading (there are ways to progress without it)
Definitely got me with the two swing attack. Great game!
Okay, so first of all this game is adorable. Like, it's just really cute. I actually feel like I stepped into the shoes (shoes? slimes don't wear shoes) of a little slime. It's overall just a wonderful experience. As for improvements, I agree with @iwilliams, I want to just grab the sword immediately, maybe when you die instead of resetting, the game instead just says you barely manage to escape? I wonder if that might break your ending system though? As for the game itself, I do really love it. Are you perhaps considering updating it in the future? It'd be really cool to play a more polished and larger scope version of this game. Despite the relatively simple idea, I feel like underdog gameplay is really under utilized, at least from what I see. Overall really fun game, I had a great time, even if I can't seem to beat the hero no matter how hard I try.
awesome graphics and music, funny premise. I keep dying and I ran out of energy to keep collecting flowers :(
Loved the game and I enjoyed trying to get all the ending. Nice work!
Such a cute adventure game... except for what happens south of the village! Multiple endings is a nice touch! If only we didn't have to start over from the beginning every time, I would have like to complete the game 100% ;)
Of course his sword fires LASER BEAMS. Well done, this game gave me some good laughs!
That was hilarious. I am going to feel bad every time I kill an enemy in an RPG now. They are just trying to pick some flowers :(
Brilliant game. I found it really amusing to see the south screen's scene while listening to really upbeat music in such a cute world. It was quite addictive fighting the boss, but running back to get the flowers each time was a bit taxing, but worth it to see the different outcomes. Overall great game, keep it up!
The game design really pushed me to play more. I like the color combinations. Aaand I love how cute our little slime walks. Animations were very cool. Nice job! Thanks for the smiles on my face.
This was a really charming game. The dialogue was very amusing and a pretty neat design idea having each playthrough's progression rely on information from the last. Good work!
Very nice entry. It would have been nice to have a quicker restart or go back as I got tired of collecting flowers each time. I would have enjoyed a solid 1 damage per hit on the hero more than 0 haha
Fantastic entry, thanks for uploading!!
Short, but adorable and the music was great. It fit the theme nicely and was creative the idea itself, the different outcomes and how one gets prompts of how to do different things for the next run as well. Nothing I really disliked or got to criticize. But the slime and how it moved was really cute and I really really liked the art. The Hero's sprite was cool, looked a bit like Cloud. Liked the extra detail with feedback if one tries to interact with the bed.
Shows me a slime's perspective in such a cute way, but at the same time shows the harsh "reality". Beautiful, nostalgic. Thank you for that :heart:
That time I got reincarnated as a lvl.1 slime and got blasted
Pros:
- Cute, pleasant color palette - Funky combat - Damn, you even have a quest! - Light, moody music to lighten up the day (except for dead bodiess of your brethen) - I totally thought you couldn't move during the fight (FF like), but you got me there, senpai.
Cons:
- A lack of checkpoint after completeing a sword quests makes the game a struggle for replaying
verdict:
My slime is
But great job!
Really sweet game, love the little wisdoms you get after dieing. fun game and was fun to stomp this heroes pride :P
I liked it a lot, but I also missed checkpoints. But I understand that it is jam. Congratulations for the effort! This game reminded me a lot of Reventure, you know? I bet you were inspired by it too ahahhaa thanks!
@luis-felipe-patrocinio Never heard of it before, but glad there's a game out there that fleshed out this kind of idea! Might give it a shot sometime
"I forgot to mention, he might swing at you more than once." Heh.
Then "The third one always gets ya." HAH!
Then "Timing, man, timing!" Come on! :-D
Since getting the sword got tedious, I thought I would just go into battle without it. Then I attacked...and got killed. Ugh. Funny, though.
The graphics are adorable. The music and sound effects are fun. I love the zoom in animation when the battle starts.
