LudumData

One slime to save the day by Citsua

[raw]
made by Citsua for LD28 (JAM)
You are the last slime of the world.
All your siblings have been killed by greedy humans trying to level up.
Avenge everyone !

Your belly can contain everything : objects, or even humans !
Grow bigger and bigger and use objects to kill them all !

I finished this game in 48 hours but I submitted it to the Jam because I didn't have time to upload the source. It was my first Ludum Dare as well as my first completed game ever ! It was a great weekend and I hope to do it again.

Buggy: you cant change directions while having something in your belly and you fly to infity while you eat something too...

Once you get to about 4x size it becomes difficult to actually pick up any more fruit to grow.

Its such a shame this game is so unfinished..... i can really see a lot of potential. Such a great idea. i wont begin to list all the under-developed things and all the bugs in this game as the developer is probably already aware of them, but even with all its problems I spent more time on this than a lot of other more complete games in this Jam.

Thank you skysthelimit, and don't worry I plan to continue it :). Right now I'm focusing on debugging it but I'll release more versions after the Ludum Dare.

Cool idea. The frame rate just dies at some point if you let too many enemies spawn though. :) At a certain size, I had trouble picking up objects, not sure if it's because my slime was standing on top of enemies or something. It would be cool to be able to crush them under you when you're big enough. :)

It's a pretty interesting idea, has has great potential. But it just needs to be fixed.

I like it quite a lot. Only issue is that it's really, really difficult to move and control the camera once you get really big.. I'd get up to 5 times my size and the camera would swing wildly when trying to aim. Other than that, it's pretty awesome!

Nice game, hilarious characters! Kind of missed the audio though...

There needed to be more games about slime. Thanks!

There's something terrifying about being chased by a crowd of adventurers and seeing it all from such a low angle that few zombie survival games get this right. I absolutely loved the concept and the ideas behind it. There's plenty here that could be worked into a full, polished game if you wanted to. Super great!

Great idea ! I like the way the character shrink down as he is attacked. Nice work !

J'ai trouvé ce jeu intéressant, j'ai bien aimé le fait qu'il fallait "manger" les divers chose pour grandir ou les utiliser sur les aventuriers.
J'ai joué plusieurs partie, j'ai même réussi à atteindre x4, mais j'ai jamais pu manger d'aventurier comme tu l'avait sous-entendu dans ta description :(
Super jeu!

Zuige -> Yes, you only get one slime to kill everyone ! Or you only get one belly to store objects, or whatever you want.

Gaspard -> Merci beaucoup :). C'est normalement possible d'avaler des humains mais j'ai peut-être oublié de réactiver cette possibilité lors de la dernière mise à jour.

Everyone -> Thanks for the feedback !

interesting concept, but needs more polishing :) I fell off the edge and didn't die

Short interesting game, lots of good mechanincs in it that don't really get explored and you quickly get very large. A bit annoying that even the tiniest of object can block your path.

Un jeu bien sympathique, dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de sons. Je ne peux pas non plus avaler des humains et pour quitter le jeu on a pas de touche ? Parce qu'après le game over, il y a rien qui se passe :(

A part ça, c'est un très bon jeu.

Mes scores : taille X6 et 107 humains tués
