Help the slimes get too much money by sending them into the depths of their local mine shaft in hopes that they come back with precious minerals. Oh no, they dont always make it.

Liked the Music and the game was fun.
Is there any reason to build anything other than metal slimes? :D
The game had random slowdowns from time to time, but nothing too major. It just slows down for about 3 seconds every 2 minutes or so, then goes back to normal (tried both chromium and firefox).
I did notice-- every 1-2 minutes, I'd get a 2-3s massive lag spike.
Also liked the closing screen.
On Chrome/Windows: sometimes slims higher up the Y axis appeared over slime below them which messed with the perspective a bit.
Very similar to our game in the whole idle natural resource extraction thing. I think making it a little clearer how much each one is bringing back would go a long ways. Personally I'm partial to little numbers that float up and fade away where they deposit.
@bongard22 loved catching the stream! I appreciate the feedback a ton and will keep visual cues more in mind as I continue.
@marudziik I got self conscious with how long the game would take to complete so I think I made it a little shorter than necessary. I am fairly new and this goes to everyone with the lag spikes, I dont know if it was just me and how I programmed the game or if it was the program I used to create a web version of the game but it runs fine if you use just the .love file not in a browser. Who knows, something to learn!
@oliver-day I am very aware of the draw order issues haha, this was my first LD so I prioritized having a beginning middle and end even though I have OCD and the draw order stuff caused me physical pain haha.
@verttixpertti I had an enemy drawn up and even animated (the slimes have animations as well) but I didnt have enough time to get all of that in unfortunately. I might restart from scratch and polish it up. Even since this Ive learned a few better ways to do this type of thing.
@EVERYONE THANKS FOR PLAYING EVERYBODY I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. My first LD has been a straight up blast and Im thrilled aobut all of your submissions and how cool this community is. Looking forward to many more in the future!
Like others, I was getting a lag spike for a few seconds which made everything move very slow.
