Slimeling by Diego Manarim

made by Diego Manarim for LD 43 (JAM)

In this game you'll be playing the role of a slime father looking for hist lost slime son. Get out of your test tube and go look for your child as you bounce through stages filled with puzzling and deadly hazards.

Use carefully all of your slimy skills, such as shrinking or growing in size and bouncing off walls and ceilings.

Good luck using your pro-gaming skills trying to discover the commands... or just read them listed down below: - WASD: movement - Space: jump (from every surface, you're a slime after all) - Click/Ctrl: drop a part of your gelatinous body and instantly lose weight. Don't worry, you can pick them up again or look for spare slime on test tubes. - R: restart the stage.

Made in 72 hours for the Ludum Dare 43

The graphics, sound and mechanics are great. I keep getting soft locked on the second level because I die as a small slime and can't go anywhere. There are flames on either side of me, but I can't press the button I'm standing on. I was able to lose enough slime that I died the moment I respawned. Great job, I think some level tweak could fix the issues I had.

We'll look at the bugs that you said and upload another version of the game when fixed, to keep the Ludum Dare version for voting.

Thanks a lot for you feedback!!

Neat little game with a cute retro aesthetic and an unusual gameplay. Adhering on walls or roof is a good idea so as to differentiate your project with other usual platformer games. Maybe movements could be a little bit improved. Well done. Your project deserves more ratings. I wish you the best ++

Your artwork is so cute, I love it! :smile:

It's a very nice game, It reminds me a bite of "Gish" :sweat_smile:

Nice game, good job! :smile:

I do like the idea of being a slime and having to shed off slime pieces to progress...

But the movement of this game doesn't quite work, and I think sticking to walls automatically is part of why. And I didn't quite feel that shedding off slime was much of a tradeoff to what I had to do.

It's a really good idea that could use some polish and go places.

@geckoo1337, Thanks for the feedback!! About the movements, you're saying about the walking and jump, or about the "stick on walls" action, or both?
We're glad that you liked it!! We're planning to update the game with a web version, to fix the bugs. =]

Thanks a lot @myfriendtames !! We're glad that you enjoyed it!
I didn't know this game, I googled it and found it cool! I liked the mechanic of the slime having a malleable body.

Really cool game, the controls are a little hard to use (it's easy to get stuck to the wrong wall) though. I love the graphics, they are really nice.

Thanks for the feedback @ajayajayaj , we're glad that you enjoyed the game!!
We'll take a look on what we can do about the stick-on-wall mechanic, to find a way to turn it more easy and comfortable to use. =]
