slimes were infused 10/10

Ha ha .. you had a similar take on summoning elements as my idea! So that of course is a very good thing .. ha ha ha .. I would have liked a kick-animation. Also I didn't at first understood that you had to select the button above the slime to get it to do something. But after that I had a blast. Good entry, well done.

Pretty fun. Very short, but what's there is good

It was nice, very short but enjoyable. I would have liked if it were a bit differently balanced. I'm not sure in which ways it could have been improved. But I just ended up spamming Earth Infuse.

Short but sweet. I like the art style. Wish there was more, but what's there is fun.

Nicely done! I wish there was more enemies to fight because I love the mechanic. Do I spot some Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon influence? I would love to see this fleshed out with more baddies to fight, slime infusion unlocks, different types of slimes, and maybe some equipable items. Also, that tutorial screen and me chuckling. Well done!

A great little entry! Those slimes are very cute, too. More battling would've been cool with different attacks/defense etc, but limited hours and all that! Good work! 💚

The kicking mechanic was very fun!

Nice idea, it definitely needs more levels and actions, but the premis is there. Well executed!

Cool idea executed well. There's a lot you could do with it if you wanted to take it further.

Dug the art.

Died once, then managed to win. Had fun playing the whole time :)

an interesting game, but the visual occasionally hurts the eye, but overall it's pretty good!

Nice short RPG. I thought I was gonna lose until I see hope after kicking my slimes.

I liked the idea that you first summon your minions and then you "specialize" them with different effects. I think adding more creatures and levels could end up with an interesting game at the level of Darkest Dungeon. Good job!

i like this one! the little cutscene at the start is cool and the game was intuitive enough that i didn't need the tutorial to understand it pretty much straight away. nice one

It's fun, really cool fighting mechanics and the music is pretty good. The game is pretty short though.

The slimes are adorable! I loved the game's introduction, and the fight with the final boss or enemy is very well-executed. The mechanic of summoning slimes fits the theme perfectly, and choosing between 'infuse' and 'kick', in addition to summoning, makes the gameplay experience really fun. I missed having an opening song, and I'm left wanting more enemies. Overall, great game!

Great game, mate! The only issue I noticed is the balance of the slime types.

Great game with personality and mechanics that made me laugh. The art is minimalist but very effective when it comes to communicating, it seems like an incredible job for one person. The only thing that doesn't stand out as much is the illustration at the end and the animation of the goblin at the beginning of the game. An idea with a lot of potential and a lot of humor.

Nice game, it seems very short to me and I feel that the types are a little unbalanced but it is a good game. Good job!
