There isn't game difficulty as such. Though your task is click as faster as possible on reddest buttons - if you don't do that it not greatly affect the game. I mean need to add more excitement.\n\nMaybe you can be hurt by enemies too if clicking on button to slow; or maybe you need to click only certain buttons to hit enemy, otherwise it evades hit.\n\nBut in general, good start!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"StellarBearGames","author_uid":"1218983","time":"2020-10-20T22:27:54Z","epoch":1603232874,"modified":1603232874,"text":"Innovative idea.

After playing through it twice though it does seem that there is no real risk for the slime, as others have mentioned the game would be more enjoyable if an element of threat was introduced. I do appreciate that there is a point bonus based on time spent playing, so there is some incentivization to play quickly. This is an unique entry, certainly not bad. There is a lot of potential with this mechanic, there are a lot of possibilities.

Since it is a compo entry I know it must have been hard to get everything working in time. As others have said, it would be nice to have a way to lose, but also if you just hold the left mouse button down and just drag the mouse around the game ends very quickly, so maybe you should also think of a way to modify the gameplay to both add difficulty and also avoid repetitive clicking.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"qfeys","author_uid":"1056601","time":"2020-10-21T12:35:22Z","epoch":1603283722,"modified":1603283722,"text":"Not sure how you can lose, so it becomes a bit monotonous once you know what to do.
