Slime Forest by aucguy

[raw]
made by aucguy for Ludum Dare 46 (COMPO)

You must deliver medicine to your house. However, slimes will try to kill you. Collect bullets to shoot them. Collect medicine to deliver to your home and to heal yourself.

Instructions:

  • The slimes will come after you and hurt you. Your goal is to drop off medicine to keep those at home alive.
  • WASD - move the player.
  • Mouse click - Shoot to the slimes. Uses one ammo.
  • R - uses three medicine (the pill) to get one health (the cross).
  • F - drop of one medicine at your house. Increases the score by one.
  • Your stats (ie number of ammo, meds, health and score) is at the bottom.

Bugs:

  • The score after you lose always says 999. Your actual score is displayed next to the house at the bottom of the screen during the game. It's supposed to also be displayed after you die. (Notice Added May 2, 2020).

Nice game with a minimalistic art style. Interesting strategic choices need to be made in order to either heal or get points.

I think the design is on point - interesting gameplay loop - but a bit more could be done to diversify it and help encourage the player to get points. Also, a little friendlier and polished mechanics would do wonders.

Simple game, but fun! Also, who's leaving all these pills and bullets lying around?!

I got 999 points! I ended up with 99 bullets and I dumped at least 30 or 40 medicine into the house before I let the slimes kill me and end it. I like that you have to choose between using 3 medicine for yourself or giving 1 to your home, but I wish there was ore to the game. As it was, I basically ran around in circles until I had lots of stuff, went to the middle, killed the slimes, dumped all of the medicine (after I found the F key each time) and then repeated the process. Not bad at all for a compo game though!

Nice game. The game started with double screen(web version). Is it for two players? Graphics and sound are simple but the game cathes you and keeps you playing. Good interpretation of the theme. Controls are good. Sometimes it's quite hard to get around obstacles ( collision area too wide I think ). Overall fun to play... Congrats...

@cataclysmicknight I forgot to mention that the score always displays 999. I made a note of that for future players.
@chief141 I added a screenshot to the page.

Also for everyone, thanks for the feedback; more play testing is necessary.
