Love this!! The mixed art styles work fantastically, the vampire survivors esque gameplay has good moments (though would be nice to get a speed boost...) and I was impressed by the variety in the slimes. And the leaderboard! Great job!!!!

Original idea, nice graphics, the red outline helped identify enemies at a glance. The leaderboard + spin mechanics were a nice touch. Seeing the mouse to start a spin was hard, though.

This is wonderful love the humor my only complaint is that it is hard to see my mouse when I am moving so when I get to roll for more slimes I always lose my cursor and panic.

Entered by looking at the cover art. Superb Looking. A leaderboard great. Graphics look Great. Music is also very well suited. Gameplay wise at start it was little confusing then it became easy. I used the lottery "Slime summon" it covered the central part i thought game is still played in BG and I am unable to see it. It got little confusing there for me. But then I got it. I collect money I spin an summon some other slim to help the main character. By the way animations are nice. After a while gameplay become very good. I found the strategy that when slims are spawned I should try go closer to enemies then just try to avoid that way my slimes gets chance to catch up.

hahaha, this is just a miracle! I'm waiting for the full anime and dakimakura. But the gameplay is a little bit hard...

Hahaha well it was fun! I felt bad for the crab (the sad eyes got me), and overall I really felt like playing a mobile gatcha game — good job on that it's well executed :)
Cheers!

NO WHAT DO YOU MEAN I GOT ANOTHER BLUE SLIME !

Incredibly well made. I will be playing more of this! Really a testimony to a simple idea executed perfectly. Artwork, gameplay, theme and innovation all great.

Super funny well done ! With more feedback when you take a hit and a bigger cursor when you set your position I bet it would be more addictive

Well, seeing this game on the list already felt like a fever dream. Nice touch on the parody part and pretty well executed in technicalities.

Is it really a parody if it's better than the original?

Wasn't really sure what to expect from a title like that but, damn, super addictive arcade action wasn't one of them. Fantastic job - great visuals, airtight concept, good sound design.

Really addictive and fun, and I like the title, the idea, and the execution. The lack of innovation can almost be called a parody itself, on the isekai genre it's mocking through the title.

This was really fun! One of the better summoner-class based games I've played from the jam so far. I think the randomized spinner could have benefited from spinning faster. I liked the graphics and getting to meet all the different slimes as I played. Great product!

Really fun game, I liked seeing all the different slimes and then snowballing with them >:)

Awesome game. I liked having the score leaderboard. The game felt fluid and fun to play. The top left UI isn't very eye appealing in my opinion. I would have like a physical button as well for the spinner popping up instead of just clicking. Maybe add in some tooltips or some explanation of what the slime abilities do. I'm still not sure what divine light did. Was it an aoe? Good job!

Ok, turned into a crab girl, why not. Fun game! When I read the controls I thought it would maybe be similar to us (same controls/ instructions), but it's very different. I was not expecting the vampire survivors / troop management / collectible mix :D
Music was a bit intense, but it fit the game!

The idea that you can enter your name for a high score is really cool. I also really like the pixel art! :cat:

I enjoyed the troop management with the vampire survivors survival like gameplay.
