A neat little game! My slime turned out to be too powerful and ended up invincible in the third go into the arena, but otherwise a fun experience. Good job!

The art is really cool and I love the concept! the only thing I noticed is that I couldn't die the second time I went into the arena... might have purchased something that made me immortal. who knows XD

Fun little game. Art was the highlight for me. Unfortunately I wasn't able to purchase any abilities (either i didnt know which button to do so or it wasn't working). I also feel the game being top down meant i couldn't truly the slimes' design. Seeing the arrows fly through the map looked really cool though. killing the other slimes felt good!

Art was lovely, music made the arena fun as well as the simple gameplay! overall enjoyed the designs of the slimes and who ever did the cover page art is literally the best ! Only found one bug which made me invincible in the arena so that was funny lmao.

This gameplay is as fun as a barrel of monkeys, and those background graphics are so slick they're practically buttery. I'm head over heels for it!

I like the idea of the squidgys with a sword

@elvnish and all the Developers

The art in the game was cool. The music a little over the top.

1. Change the controls to allow the player to move in the direction the player is pointing using the mouse and the 'W' key. Like Valheim, or WoW.

2. Mouse sensitivity is way too high.

3. Movement is too fast.

4. Need boundaries to keep player from wandering off.

You have a really good idea for a game, it just needs some work.

I like the music and the dinamics of combat, but ifound lots of bugs fo example if you die then select loby and then you teleport back to arene you will become imortal, and i also can't use shop.

I got an invincibility bug, where I had 0 health but I didn't die, no matter how much I tried, so I couldn't get back to the lobby. Also I spent like 5 minutes trying to find something, as the area is open and people can wander off.

Aside from these, it's a cute game with a nice art style and good sound quality.

Also got an invincibility bug. I believe this game can greatly benefit with UI popups showing if you can interact with an object. I also noticed there's this spot in the top right that you can escape through and go to the edges of the map. Screenshot 2024-04-18 182743.png

"YOU DIED LAWL" screen was great :D

I admit I'm stupid, I couldn't find a way to "admit defeat" and go back with my coins to buy the upgrades! I tried stepping on the portal and mashing all my keys, I though E was going to work, but it didn't :(
