Slime Sweeper by superbobmanguy

[raw]
made by superbobmanguy for LD 42 (JAM)

Slime Sweeper is a game made by Broken-Bytes, a group dedicated to making games of somewhat passable to gracefully mediocre quality.

In this game you play as Space Ace the greatest intergalactic janitor to star in our game as you work tirelessly to keep the many slime animals that get flushed down access ports from clogging up your ships waste tanks. You do this by selecting slimes in the various tanks and then selecting the new tank that they will be housed in, slime's like to bond with like slimes and will fuse together to create more powerful slimes but only if they are the same level. Each tank can only hold four slimes before it will clog so you have to keep them dispersed or fused until you get promoted or quit or whatever, do a good enough job and you might even get a raise* for all of your hard work.

Happy cleaning. *Raise is not guaranteed and will be in the form or a Spacemall coupon.

Shortcuts

The game has an interesting basis, but it's a bit hard to follow what's happening, and to move the slimes where you want them to. Having a bigger timer in a more central position could help.

Wow, this is actually a very good idea. At first I was confused but after I got the mechanics it was very fun. I do reccomend that you include a tutorial, I kept trying to directly move a slime to a tank, didn't get that I had to go to the next turn.

Nice and simple. Slimes start to look really alike, and it makes really hard to take proper decisions, but maybe that's what you were after. I loved the SLURP sound <3

I like it, got a score of 70. I'm not sure what's the losing condition, I guess having too many slimes?

Anyway, really liked the game. The idea is very clever, the graphics are cute and everything fits well together. The music sets a cool futuristic tone I would say. I also had the same problem with not understanding it's turn based, but after getting it the game is really fun.

Original gameplay! this is quite a challenge, or maybe my brain doesnt work so well after this weekend of coding... I like it anyway, cool cute little slimes as well!
