Slime Tales by DrillerDev

[raw]
made by DrillerDev for LD35 (JAM)
Everyone is after you!

A poor slime can't do much by itself, but you have a secret trick up your... Blob?

Jump over an unsuspecting creep, recovering some life, and assimilating his abilities!

Be careful, though. Slimes are unstable, and as such, you'll lose your new form over time, reverting to your old boring self...

Controls
(Better played with controller)

Analog stick / Arrows - Movement
X Button / LShift - Jump (absorb)
A Button / LCtril - Attack (once absorbed) / Accept
B Button / Esc - Back / Exit

GO SLIME THEM!

The best game I have played in this Ludum! Art is awesome and gameplay is very good. It's a bit hard but I'm improving each new play. Congratulations!

Wow, awesome graphics and sound! And funny too! Gameplay is a bit repetitive, but otherwise fun. Well done!

I like art and music :D
Try to sincrynoze the animation with the movement and it will look great!

Hahah! Amazing game, I had quite a chuckle with this. I had a lot of fun. The controls were a bit difficult to figure out but once you nailed it there was no stopping this slime! (except for occasional Minotaur)

I really like the perspective, reminds me of Don't Starve! The art is really great and the characters are cuteness overload. :D If only the projectiles where in perspective as well it would be easier to play. Great job!

Thanks everyone for the comments!

We'll try to have an updated version after the jam voting is done, to add the missing characters, and in general, apply some general polishing. But this recent weeks have been completely hectic :)
