Sometimes it did need a quick restart before my slime would move.
I could not finish the large level (possibly the last?) with the slime holding the shield, as it is quite tedious to actually move the distances, when you have to mash the button and I basically gave up.
The level design could use some work overall for sure, but I love the idea, and even the first few levels are a great (without the health mechanic even making it in there).
I can see this being a turn-based game for mobile with level design tweaking (i.e. Lara Croft GO, and other GO games).
Reminds me a bit of Chip's Challenge.
The lack of sound is a big problem. If there is no sound at all, every game fels very empty. Next time you should put at least an hour in adding some basic SFX. That is so important for a game!
