Like, it's just really cute. I actually feel like I stepped into the shoes (shoes? slimes don't wear shoes) of a little slime. It's overall just a wonderful experience. As for improvements, I agree with @iwilliams, I want to just grab the sword immediately, maybe when you die instead of resetting, the game instead just says you barely manage to escape? I wonder if that might break your ending system though? As for the game itself, I do really love it. Are you perhaps considering updating it in the future? It'd be really cool to play a more polished and larger scope version of this game. Despite the relatively simple idea, I feel like underdog gameplay is really under utilized, at least from what I see. Overall really fun game, I had a great time, even if I can't seem to beat the hero no matter how hard I try.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":779496,"author_name":"Andy Beers","author_uid":"andy-beers","epoch":1649101682,"text":"awesome graphics and music, funny premise.
