I found one mistake when you put it on the same layer as the player, but if you forget about it, the game turned out to be sweet and cool. изображение_2025-10-07_023644081.png

Cool game, I like the main character and that I could jump on the slimes.
hope there can be a itch link, it's all black when I tried to play online :(
@peggy404 Thanks for the info. It works on all my devices, maybe you just need to wait a few seconds until it's loaded? There is no loading bar, so maybe it looks like it doesn't start.
very cool main character
So lovely girl!
Nice environment and scrolling transitions. Cute art and it's fun bouncing on those little guys!
The art style on this is so joyful! :smile_cat: The gameplay is neat also, but it felt a little inconsistent at times. I played for a little more than half an hour but couldn't figure out how to set up the slimes on their stations properly and manage resources, but you guys can always update it later so no problem Good job on the submission!
Can't run it on my Win10 =\
Ok, I run it in Web. Really, really hard game to be honest! But it is so cute and lovely, you did a great job, my friends ^_^
Cute game! I will say though that i had issues with understanding the game rules and resource management, after building the woodcutter log i tried to build something else but it got stuck there and were not able to find any slimes that would do work. However, i found the slimes very cute and fitting art style - interesting idea to build on. Thanks for sharing!
Cute art style and music. The gameplay is a bit confusing. I think that a "forced" tutorial would be helpful - The texts might not be enough. Overall, it is a nice entry! :D
Very nice art style and music! The slimes are super cute! But, unfortunately, I'm a terrible slimekeeper that should be fired. :sweat_smile:
I couldn't figure out how to feed them, so they kept dying from hunger (I think). I planted the berry slime on a farm next to others, but it didn't help. There doesn't seem to be an option to harvest any food from it. Also, I built a house and put some slimes inside, but they still were cold. After the pink slime died I got softlocked, since I couldn't tame any new ones.
When a slime dies, it seems that its station can't be taken by another. I.e. my woodcutter died, I tamed another, but it couldn't stand on the stump where the other woodcutter slime used to be. Same for the berry slime and the pink slime. And I couldn't build new stations because the builder was already busy with a half-finished mine (which I couldn't cancel).
Hope this feedback won't discourage you! I enjoyed the game despite everything, and overall it would be extremely fun if some UX issues were fixed and it was clearer what to do! If you release an update I'd love to give this game another try.

Wow such a complete, polished and professional game, in just a few days too? The music was quite loud (luckily you had settings to reduce that too??) but everything else was utterly mesmerising! Very well done!
Also bonus axe: sky.png (Yes it now lives up here!)
I don't know if I am the problen, but I was not able to "find the game". Basically was just running around amimlessly. Looks and sound very cool tho.
This entry seems really cool, but I couldn't figure out how to progress the game. :( I can tell there's other mechanics going on (snowflake on the pink slime?) but I just don't know how to activate or interact with them! I tried throwing the builder slime into the pink slime, throwing the builder slime at the nest, and explored areas to west and east, but nothing really did anything. I *did* have some fun exploring and figuring out how to traverse with both slimes, though... I guess this entry ended up being a bit of an introspective "hike-'em-up" for me!

The art is very cute! Walking around feels nice, a bit like Terraria, but the world feels too big and somewhat empty. The slimes are adorable and jumping on them and throwing them is fun.
Also, I was just exploring around and somehow unlocked the ugly barnacle ending where everyone died, haha.
Although I did find the you know how to play games tutorial non-tutorial tutorial funny, it didn't do a great job helping me learn the mechanics of the game. On my first play through i grabbed the pink one and took it on a walk from one side to the other. -- I didn't know you could put it down. So on my second i knew i did something wrong. Got the yellow one like @hacksawunit but also didn't know what to from there. The tutorial said the yellow one could make things, but how? Is it a place, a key, an action, just time? I learned the pink one homes to the pink basket, but what does that mean? I can see from others screenshots that there is more to the game, but I haven't been able to access it :sob:. I like the idea and art style, I just didn't know how to play.
Threw a bunch squishy friends around, bounced on their heads, built some buildings, found new squishy friends. I think that counts as a success.
It's a really cute game. I loved the art, the music, and the concept. But unfortunately, it's not intuitive. I got stuck right at the very beginning several times. I hope you'll fix that in the future, because this game has a future ;) Good luck!
