What was the origin story?
Burn The Slimes was started during vacations for a low-resolution jam, and the initial goal was only to make a game where I could use my own music and make my own pixel art assets.
The vacations ended, which led to less time for a project which was way more challenging than I expected (rhythm games need everything to always be in sync with the music), which led me to stop it entirely, and even make another project in between (Don't Scrap Food, go check it out!).

But thanks to this jam, I got the motivation to at least finish a prototype!
And this is what I've got here, so yes, I would say this is a success :)

Cute graphics! It's awesome that you made the music yourself, and it was jamming too! That's very important in a rhythm game. It would be nice if you could reset and pause with the keyboard though. And even after reading your post, it took me a while to figure out that you had to hold S and D to use other colors instead of select them once to switch.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! And yes, I was thinking about changing how you switch flames but was short on time. If I continue the game one day, this'll definitely be a key focus.

Really good overall game! I had an issue with colors but I guess is my bad. Blue and Green colors are pretty similar for me. Amazing job!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'm happy you liked it. And yes I could've thought about accessibility! Will think about it next time for sure

OH MAN THE ART IN THIS IS AMAZING! freaking perfect!

Game mechanics are sublime. So simple but exciting, was adrenalized esp. after getting three and four legs stomping around. Heart skips a beat when getting stomped.

Super well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

nice little game. i wish there was a better visual indicator of when to kill the blobs. Would make it easier for me at least.
Other than that, cute visuals and nice music!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Yes, I know it would be way better with some indicators / SFXs, but I was very short on time... I hope it didn't ruin the experience too much tho :)
