Hectic and fun gameplay! I did have some trouble registering whether I would pick up a slime or not, the timing on the jump/slime collecting seemed to favor jumping up into the slime, rather than falling down on top of them like the text suggests.

I got there in the end with 30s to spare though!

Love the music and very stressfull at the end

Man are those birds obnoxious ! Even their noise makes me cry :) You managed to finish a 3d game in a week end, this is very impressive! Good job

Thanks for the opportunity to play with a gamepad) Nice little game with responsive controls and good visuals. Good job!

An interesting idea, I liked playing)

That bird noise is so stressful! It's a great idea, enjoyed playing!

The gameplay is really exciting and full of fun! The music sets a great rhythm, and the images of cute slugs and annoying birds add to the atmosphere. 🐦💨 Despite some difficulties with the controls, the game left a lot of positive emotions! 😊 Great job, team! 👏

The bird scared me a bit at the end :) Good job

Great game! I was a bit frustrated by slimes slipping out when trying to land on them but it wasn't too bad. The dash and block mechanics were well designed, with the repetition timer forcing to learn to use both of them. The game looked quite good, had good sound effects and was clear at showing the player what to do. Nice UI too. Great job!

Such a funny game ! Even if the slimes were dodging me x)

It was confusing at first because the slimes wouldn't line up when stacked and the birds felt OP, but once I got the hang of it it wasn't too hard. It's nice and simple fun. My time was 160 (which I assume sucks lol)

A fun concept that when you lined up the correct angle to build the slime tower it felt pretty good. I think the alignment may have been a tad too punishing as times where i thought it should be connecting it didnt. I didn't really find much use for the dash and block abilities. Overall though good fun.

Good game! My time was 80 something(I suppose that's good). However it looks like there's no fps limit on windows version so the game worked as a stress test for my gpu until I noticed that the fans were blowing and hotspot was over 90C. I had to limit the fps in the driver to play it. Hate those birds.

just-a-dev 2024-10-10 19:38

@bstabuu Thanks for bringing this up! I checked the project settings and VSync was indeed off, it seems like since Unity 6 it's now off by default for new projects. I don't understand why they changed that. I'll make a new build because I don't want to fry people's GPU.

I had a blast playing this game, as the responsive controls and cute slugs made for a chaotic yet enjoyable experience. However, I found the timing for collecting slimes a bit tricky; it felt easier to jump into them rather than land on top, as the instructions suggested. The music set an engaging rhythm, but those obnoxious birds added a layer of stress, especially towards the end. Overall, it’s an addictive and visually appealing game—great job, and I look forward to seeing future updates!

Super fun game! Stacking slimes was addictive, and the birds added a nice challenge. The music was great, and once I got the hang of it, collecting slimes felt satisfying. Gj!

exa 2024-10-15 14:04

Omg!!!It is S-o beautiful!!!Nice job 10/10!!!

daniel-c 2024-10-16 20:14

Very fun game :) 10/10 would be a slime tower again :)

jamieok 2024-10-17 20:41

Slimy! There are a lot of small details I really appreciate in this that are worth pointing out. The 'bottom' slime having a shadow when jumping makes it a lot easier to know where you're going to land, especially when the aim of the game is landing on slimes. The tall stack of slimes isn't too visually distracting, partly due to the camera zooming out as the stack increases. Really great job on those, they're a big bonus towards the game feel being so nice. Fun, quick and simple, this is a big win as a jam game. Great job!

raivk 2024-10-18 09:18

The pressure builds up quite nicely as you quite more and more slimes on your stack! It's quite a cool jam gam, congrats!

This is super fun to play! Although it is sometimes a bit hard to step on other slime, I enjoy playing it, and I like the dashing and blocking mechanics.

Nice little game!

I found I didn't really need to worry about the birds too much -- it was easier to focus on just grabbing more slimes, and the birds rarely managed to get me. I'm not sure they got me at all in my first run, so I tried again and definitely noticed they occasionally snagged some slimes despite my random jumping around.

The slimes were a bit tricky to land on, I found my best bet was usually to just aim in the general direction of a pile of slimes and hope I landed on some. I guess they try to run away from the tower? Which is kind of fun (or maybe morbid?) from a story perspective... all the slimes run away but then join our effort to capture more as soon as they are part of the tower. :smile:

The sounds and graphics were quite nice, the game feels polished. One particularly nice piece of sound design I think is the difference between slimes getting picked up and slimes getting taken by the birds--although I never saw the birds grab a slime, I still more or less intuitively knew that that sound was probably the "bad" sound (and confirmed it later when I saw the ticker tick down). Nice job!

Very thoughtful. The chirping of birds will indeed cause some disturbance to players. It is an interesting 3D game.

iaroslavik 2024-10-20 06:32

Very interesting game, I like mechanics, art and music. Good job

eerongal 2024-10-21 15:19

Simple, fun little game. The controls are pretty responsive and it plays well. Nice work!

okely 2024-10-24 06:07

Great game, very fun. I think that it could be better to highlight the cooldown circle, or move somewhere else, during the game is not convenient to follow it.
