Slime Exterminators : running out of space to walk by DatYak

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

In slime exterminator you play as a (you guessed it) a slime exterminator. You take to the streets to exterminate pesky slimes. However, when they die they pop into deadly goo that takes up the space around you.

GAME RULES (There is a little area to see all of this but I'll put it here too) Use WASD to move * use your mouse location to look * use the left mouse to shoot at slimes (you can hold it down) * Slimes will pop if they get to close * Don't step in the goo

POWERUPS * RED LASER TOKEN: Turns your gun into a very powerful laser that penetrates targets for a while. * PURPLE CLEANER TOKEN: Destroys all goo in a VERY BIG (almost everywhere) range. * ORANGE REVIVE TOKEN: Gives you an extra life (shown in the top left), when you stem in goo it will take a life, but instead of being killed it will clear some goo around you BUT NOT ENEMIES.

Cool shooter, the music matches the tone of the game. all I wish for, is seeing the bullets I shoot

Good Theme handling, the slimes feel well designed for occupying your space. It's hard to see the default shots and the laser feels kind of "off". I think it is due to life of the slimes - if this is the reason, increasing it's damage would help alot. If the damage isn't the issue, it feels like the laser just doesn't hit. Overall it's fun!

@dokalfar, @allan-kong I didn't know how I wanted to represent the default shot, b/c a slower bullet would've made the game harder, and I didn't know how else to portray the shot. As for the laser, I liked the delayed reaction- but it would probably feel better with a higher tick rate. Thanks for the feedback both of you!

Cool game! I really enjoyed making the slime splat when shot. I did find that if you spiral around on the inside of the horde, you can kinda make your way through them easily, but only for a few secs. Good Work Man!!!

Fun game, I enjoy the simple to learn mechanics and how well it ties into the theme. I feel it could benefit from more sounds such as when you fire the gun or kill a slime. I still enjoyed it regardless though, good job!

Interesting game, I would suggest adding some visual line of where your shot is going. I liked the art style of the game.

Scored just over 3k! I can definitely agree with the other feedback here: this is fun and quick, with good visual design(but please add a line indicating where you're shooting). Also fun to see another slime-based game. :smile:

Fun and well done ! I really like the palette/contrast you've chosen between the slime and the background, it works really well visually. I agree with the other feedback here.

Good, fun game. The only thing I wanted to see more of was different weapon upgrades. Thanks for making this!
