Like everyone else has said it's pretty hard to engage in combat without taking a lot of damage, I found the best strategy was to circle the slimes while hitting them, the attack animation doesn't play but you still deal damage which you can tell from the slimes' deteriorating animation (which is great btw!) and avoid taking most damage. I liked the music, and the slimes' damaged sound is good feedback for combat too. Simple but good game. The character, slime, and environment designs are great too!
