Drew me in and I got stuck playing for quite a while :)
congrats !
Oh no :) A game where numbers are going up, that's the ones I spend way to much time on... It's fun and fascinating to watch ! Cute slimes :)
It would ne nice if we could drag the map with the mouse/cursor and if the demonic iron/pure essence was faster, I think it took me more time to upgrade the portal at this step than all the others combined. It would also be convenient if the slime selected the closest best resource where you click :)
Little quality of life would have been indication what resources are being gathered or small line from slimes to resources they are working on.
It got little bit hectic after few upgrades :)
Incredibly fun game, it's so much fun to see the numbers go up higher and higher to incredible values, you really nailed that sense of progression that makes these games so enjoyable! Also the little slimes with their hard hats are cute, I liked their sprites a lot. The music and art really help set that darker atmosphere, I liked how it all came together. All around super fun game, great job!
The worker slimes are cute. The fact you give information about every item in the game is a nice touch for usability; Frankly my only suggestion in that sense in this level would be that I would like something like middle mouse button press panning of the camera.
A strong entry, it is very effective, in theme, the sprites are cute, and the ways things start to move in more advanced stages are, on a lack of a better term, particle-system-level-of-pretty. That is a single word by the way!
