Cool idea! Now I feel bad for killing slimes in other games if this is their story behind the scenes.
I really liked the map and entering new areas, the xp progression felt really great too!
If I were to give any feedback, I’d say remove contact damage while slimes aren’t attacking (or make their hitboxes a little smaller), sometimes it felt a little hard to avoid damage when entering a new screen.
Overall though, super fun submission, great job!!
