When I saw the opening title I knew it was going to be good. Found the last level very challenging, but completed it through trial and error.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Few UI points:\r<br\/>- Why have a keyboard controlled main menu when the game requires a mouse?\r<br\/>- The buttons for speed and restart work really well\r<br\/>- The tool icons aren't as clear, they could do with being bigger\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good work guys!"},{"author_name":"TinyDrakkarStudio","author_uid":"23501","time":"May 5, 2013 @ 7:21pm","epoch":1367781360,"text":"It was just funy and i like the graphics... that seems like ds games .... so fun and nice work"},{"author_name":"moomoo112","author_uid":"11665","time":"May 8, 2013 @ 12:03am","epoch":1367971080,"text":"interesting take on the tower defense, I liked the soundtrack"},{"author_name":"Dietrich Epp","author_uid":"7606","time":"May 8, 2013 @ 1:42am","epoch":1367977020,"text":"Great game balance, simple mechanics, enough levels.

To aid you in this you have a small array of tools at your disposal which help you manipulate levels in a variety of ways.\r\n\r\nSlimes will die. You cannot save them all, but you can minimize casualties.\r\n\r\nTips:\r\n\r\nTools\r\nHammer: Destroys destructible blocks.\r\nWrench: Rotates certain objects and opens doors.\r\nBomb: Destroys objects in a small area.\r\nBlock: Places a block that can affect pathing and block lasers.\r\n\r\nUse W, S and Space to navigate the menu.\r\n\r\nUse the left mouse button to interact with things in-game, right mouse button to cancel a tool.\r\n\r\nTo run the game, extract the zip file to a folder somewhere and launch the slimefactory.jar (or slimefactory-small.jar) file.\r\n\r\nThe first few levels introduce the tools and game mechanics. Later levels combine several tools and mechanics and force you to think about how to best use each of them.<\/p>","title":"Slime Factory"}
