Great game! although the cactus collider is a bit weird, and you should've increased the look ahead value in the cinemachine since the screen is a bit small, also the shotgun is stronger than the rifle :)

also also...

HA HA SLIMES GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Submitted

The only thing missing is sound effects but overall the game is fun to play :D

Very relaxing game. Love the art style, especially the title screen. Also nice little animation with the gun spinning. Well done!

Submitted

Super cute art style

Submitted

I miss sound effects and your own music but you bet on a classic top down shooter and it works very well :) I love the art and gun upgrades. I just wasnt able to unequip guns, I had to go with all of them :D good job

Submitted

very good game! I like really like the art! It would be cool if you can regenerate healt

Submitted

Nice game! Creative, with evolution.. great job! ^^

Submitted

Grandma got run over by... Oh sorry. Nice gameplay progression system of guns! Sound effects would make this way more enjoyable, but well done on this jam!

Not sure why I can't load the game! :( EDIT: Just realized you had a download version too! I'll try that!

Submitted

The game was alright, I like the ideas of the enemies becoming stronger instead of the player. Slime hitboxes were a little weird at times though. This is just a personal thing but I would've liked to be able to hold down left click to shoot instead of individual clicks :)

Submitted

I got stuck several time on the top left corner, not too sure why otherwise nice game overall. It was fun playing it for a while !

Submitted

Great game! I just struggled with equipping and unequipping the guns, I didn't really understand why it wasn't working and kept me on the first one. But overall, great job!

Submitted

AHAHA awesome art and fun gameplay!

Submitted

Fun game this it fits the theme really well with the slimes merging together and becoming more powerful. The art is cute as well

Submitted

Very cool game and one of the most fun! I love the upgrade system.

Submitted

Very nice! I love the how they evolve from "cute" to "vicious" as they grow and I like how dying isn't punishing (you get to keep what you collected). I bought and equipped the revolver, but nothing changed afterwards.

Would've loved to hear sound effects for shooting, reloading, hitting a slime and killing a slime. Was fun otherwise.

I'd appreciate it if you could play and rate my game as well :)

Just played your game. Nice Job! I was really impressed. In order to switch weapons, you need to use the scroll wheel, so that may be why you couldnt see it. If that didnt fix it, then it was a bug, and I apologize... Thanks for the rating!

Submitted

The gun spinning was awesome! :D Really liked that! Just a question, how do I go back to the store after I start shooting? Positive rating for sure!

Developer

You have to die... I ran out of time and wasn't able to make a pause menu. Sorry

Submitted

Really fun game to play, the top-down movement was really nice. I think if the game had sound effects, then it would be great. Really well done game!

Submitted

really  nice game, it would be nicer wtih SFX. congrats

Submitted

Really fluid and satisfying animations, but feels a little empty without sounds for the guns and slimes
