Really loved the music in this, and the art is great! I seemed to get stuck on the first level tho, but had fun regardless.

I love the concept and the art, unfortunately I kept getting a crash on the second level, which is a real shame because I was really enjoying how the game was expanding with units. If you had more time it would have been great to see the units health bars so I could see how effective my troops were and also probably some balance to stop me just filling the whole screen with slimes at the beginning (as fun as that is! :) ). Had a blast, and for your first Jam really amazing work! Hope you keep it going for future jams!

Game crashes when I try to summon a creature on the second level. Well done for the game, it did not look easy to make, your concept is very nice and the ideas are there. The execution is not quite there, would need more polishing, but three days is a very short time to make a game, it would just need some fixing. Good job !

Nice game! I was a little confused at first but kept spamming the slime button. It crashes for me after the first level though, which is a shame because it looks really cool and I wonder what the other buttons do.

The game crashes for me when trying to summon on the second level. Great visuals and music though.

Nice music and game art. Unfortunately the game crashes on the second level. That's too bad because the game seemed fun to play!

Hey guys, first of all there is clearly an enourmus amount of talented work here. But just like @pigeoncode said, there is an error when trying to summon anything on the second level. (null function or function signature missmatch). I would hate to not get to play this game fully.
Yes the deadline is over, but you are very much still allowed to upload a working version of the game, which I would love to play and rate. I know motivation might sometimes be low just after submission. But i am sure this cant be that difficult of a fix.
Again: The deadline isn't as strict as you think, try to fix your game, I, and surely many other, would love to play it.

This is the error everyone is describing. It looks like a really cool idea!

should probably limit the number of summoned critters. i was able to fill the screen with critters, then the game moved to the second map and crashed.

It is a very unusual and atmospheric game, the visual is quite interesting, it looks stylish and funny! Good luck with your project, I would have played it more than once!!!

I like the mechanic of summoning different types of creatures. I wish I have more info about them and more control. Furthermore, I also would like to have an info about enemies' hp.
But it was fun to play till the end)![Screenshot_1.png](///raw/839/d5/z/640cc.png)

From the first seconds of the game, I was hooked by the soundtrack in the game's main menu. Afterwards, something broke for me and the slimes started walking only when I spawned a lot of them and the enemy did nothing at all. Further the game was good and interesting, but when choosing a bow on the second level, I crashed the game

It's a funny toy, I just didn't understand what to do at the 1st level, I just ran a bunch of slides and got stuck at the 2nd level

The game crashed on me on the first attempt, but after realizing that I could use wasd to move around, it worked on the second attempt. Am I correct in assuming that you need to surround the enemies in order to kill them? I was having issues with enemies being stuck in corners and not dying, but eventually I managed to sneak in a win!
Giving players some additional information on this page for how to play the game would probably help a lot!
I really enjoyed the tunes in this game as well.
