Overall good artstyle, fun to play, only thing I would have liked in addition is an explantion what the differen Colors of the pickups meant.

A very fun game! Art and music are also very good. Dragging slime attacks is very enjoyable
For a moment I thought I am going to have to swing all of them by myself, but they attack automatically.Very well made concept. One of the best games I've seen so far
Your game is really cool, cohesive, and fun. Thank you! ^^
AN ABSOLUTE BANGER
Very cute and fun, the audio helps a lot to sell the whole experiance. Also spamming upgrades is so much fun :) I'm a bit surprised, that when flinging multiple slimes at once they basically all get flung in random directions (guessing that's based on their rotation). Overall really enjoyable
Very good geme!!! Good job men
A very funny game! I especially love the music and the gameplay. The variety of slimes adds a lot of fun and gameplay possibilities, allowing players to think about what’s best to add to their team.
Very good game, had a lot of fun with it I ended up mostly moving the king to dodge anything incoming while letting the other slimes deal with the wave, but the idea is very fun. I played in fullscreen and having the king at the bottom of the screen made it very hard to fling him back up (not enough space to drag the mouse down) which made me loose in the end! definitely the best game I've seen so far I also liked the graphic style, especially the title screen Good job
I got only to about wave 10 so far but I am having a great time! It's a bit tough to keep the king alive in the later waves when there's so much happening but I also know that is definitely a skill issue, I'll try to get better and go further :D. The game is really well polished -- great visuals, sound and the gameplay is super cool! Very good entry, great job!
A really fun concept, love the cute designs and the soundtrack.
Pretty Fun!
This was a neat game! I got maybe a half a dozen waves in, and lost to the crazy birds with the bombs. It was satisfying flinging the slimes all over the map, and I liked that you're always multi-tasking on offense and defense.
The music and art is great, and I especially love the title screen music. It's such an awesome vibe, between the clusters of soft notes in the background filling out the scale, and the soft, sporadic drums. And then the English horn comes in and tops the cake.
This is quite a fun game with a nice aesthetic and interesting mechanics. I haven't played any auto-battlers before, so to me this game is a unique experience. I'm also impressed with the amount of polish this game has. It feels like the beginning of a promising indie project. The music is also a fun and fitting tune. My only criticism is the first level is a slog since you only have one slime and numerous enemies, but after that it picks up and the fun kicks in.
I also have an affinity for games that can be played with the mouse exclusively.
I'm delighted to see you all again and pleased to find out that you're still working together. I'm sorry for joining your game at this late stage because I've already plunged into another match. Nevertheless, playing your game always offers me a very interesting and fresh experience—it's truly an excellent concept, and I love you all.
Loved the style and music/sfx the most. I wish controlling the slimes was a bit more streamlined.
Really well polished for such a short amount of time. Great stuff.
Really good graphics and sounds, and polished innovative gameplay. The whole package.
Really fun game play and nice art! Well done!
Very nice game! I really appreciate the overall polish: e.g the cursor looks very nice, animations and sfx are satifsying, etc. The gameplay loop is very enjoyable. I also like the chess inspiration for the king (or is it chess-inspired?) Maybe the thing is most of the time I kept running and dodging with my king to avoid attacks and let the other slimes do the attacking, and it worked well, but as soon as I wanna play an attacking slime, I take risks for my king (especially when there are bullets), which encourages to keep moving the king around, which maybe there should be some downside of doing so (and some nudge to play the other slimes). But that's a minor thing, game was excellent. GG!
The game blends an interesting theme with beautiful aesthetics that enhance the gameplay. God Job!
I found the fling mechanic a bit tricky and repetitive at times. After a while, I focused mainly on the king, as the hordes would overwhelm me pretty quickly. I really appreciated that the units fight automatically, without that, it would have been tough for me to manage. It might be a skill issue, but I felt the controls required a bit more input than I could comfortably handle to manage the units effectively.
Tried my best to provide constructive feedback without sounding like an asshole, but I guess I'm not as eloquent of a writer as I would like. I want the team to understand that I do like the premise and the game's look and feel is pretty great. I just felt the movement mechanics were a bit unfair.
I'll go back to my hole now.
This game was super fun, but I was disappointed at the end because there was so much on the screen i could not select my king to move him. I think this would make a fun mobile game. Great game!
@emsea No worries, haha. Thank you for the feedback.
A major thing we want to tackle in our followup version is decreasing game pace and making group flinging more transparent. While there is fun chaos, we think the game needs to slow a bit down to make positioning and moving more satisfying and impactful. Of course we are also adding a way to move when at the borders given how difficult that turned out to be. While in an ideal version the player would still have to dodge a lot with the King, we will experiment with making slimes block bullets and adding more defensive slimes to allow more freedom for the player.
i had a good bit of fun with this one. i really like the sprites and the HUD is well done. the music is also great and fits really well. movement took a bit to get used to. overall nicely polished. gj!
That was a really nice game, great job !
Great job! Nice visuals and nice idea! Keep making games!
I've had a great slimy time with your game on stream :) Thank you for bringing it!

Nice game! I had fun playing it. If i have to criticize something its the controls. I am not a big fan of this drag and shoot to move the slimes. But that could also be my preference. Anyway keep up the good work!
Excellent game, I really liked how the progression was implemented! I think there is a problem with the controls: when the slug gets to the edge of the screen, it becomes very difficult to shoot him. In addition, when rushing, I often missed the slugs with the cursor, I think that the hitbox could have been made a little larger.
Awesome work, this was fun to play and I think a great take on the theme. The only issues I ran into were when my slime would get stuck in a corner or maybe the slime would fling in a direction I wasn't expecting. Overall I had fun and think this is really polished for a jam. Great work!
This is a really amazing entry! You made a polished and complete package in such a short time and you even managed to make it fun. It is very impressive. The graphics are nice, the audio is good, the theme is implemented clearly and the gameplay is unique and easy enough to start playing and deep enough to spend some time with it. I hope to see more of your work in the future!
Nice project with a neat aesthetic. I had fun playing it. I am not a big fan of this drag and shoot to move the slimes, but it works well as expected. Need skill! Addictive game. Well done! I wish you the best ++
