Cool simple mechanics! I liked having the option of two different attacks. Great job on the submission!

The game has its moments, with enjoyable mechanics and interesting artwork. There's potential for more, making it a good experience overall. Keep it up!

I thought this might be an endless game, but then a boss appeared!

Very nice, if simple game. :)

I liked that the slimes could speed up to add some diversity and, of course, the big boss at the end. The animation for the bombs was also satisfying.

Speaking of the bomb, while it has the weakness of a shorter range compared to the main attack, I found it was still far easier to use it exclusively. It destroys everything that it hits, meaning that the slimes which are further out are simply waiting their turn to be exploded when they get within range. For a more balanced approach you could consider limiting the number of bombs, or putting them on a higher cooldown, so that the player has to rely on their main attack some (or most) of the time.

Other than that, sound and music always help. :)

Thank you for playing. You are correct. A cooldown for the bomb would have made the game more balanced and fun.

Great job! All it needed was some sound, but I still really enjoyed it! Keep making games :)

Developer

Thank you. Yes, adding sound would have made it better. I am glad you enjoyed it.

The key to victory for me was spamming bombs. Good work on getting something playable submitted!  

Developer

Thank you. I am working on an update where if you get 5 hits on the enemies, you will get a bomb.

Nice game! You could try improving it by adding music and sounds - there are tons out there available for free :) Also I think the difficulty is a bit too steep? I surely did not last long :D Good job!

Developer

Thank you. Yes, adding music and sound would make it better.

Not bad! However, the bomb is kinda overpowered as I can just spam them. I think you need to put a cooldown on that one

Developer

Thank you. Yes, the bomb is overpowered😅. I wanted to put a cooldown but was unable to. I might try something where if you kill 5 slimes, you get a bomb.

The controls are responsive and the game is challenging but fun ;)
