Level up every 10 seconds! Fresh wave of baddies every 10 seconds! allocate skill points into your items for increasing power! what items will you use? how will you spec them? can you even win? This is our first time entering the Ludum Dare and it was an almost completely sleepless weekend trying to get this thing right. We had some doubts about getting it done, but seeing all the submissions kept us motivated to have something awesome to submit. thanks all and Enjoy!

@TomCooper3D @kenruze ---CONTROLS--- WASD...............Movement mouse..............Aim left/right click....Pickup/Attack "Q".................Level up left "E".................Level up right
I like your control scheme in terms of holding ans using items with left and right clicks. I thought walking around could be improved a little. Still solid stuff! great work!
Very cool polished little game! Beautiful graphics (I love the sword swipe trail). Nice player choices available.
I kinda wish I saw damage numbers popping up when I hit something or health bars maybe? It's hard to tell how effective my weapons are otherwise. (Is my level 4 sword better than my level 6 magic book?)
THIS GAME IS AWESOME! Go with a sword and mage skills and you're done. And I hate those yellow blobs, they run faster than you. I must admit that they are the only that makes it a hard game.
I reached about day 33. What do you think on scoring systems, multiplayer mode and polishing? Can be a true product someday.
Weell!! I like the concept of open beat'em up, the graphics, audio & programing looks fine... But the general bizarre humor that have this game, is the best part of it. I make a Programmer Fan Art for your game, enjoy: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/08/26/time-slime-arena-fan-art/
@epiplon we were going to implement a better score system next but we just ran out of time we were lucky to squeeze in score by days lived in at the home stretch. Ill keep posting about any updates to the game that we might add after LD27 on our twitter @tomcooper3d @kenruze
Pretty fun; looks great. The music is a bit out of place, though, for a game about fighting slimes in a crypt. Also: are the blue blobs immune to sword? I never managed to kill one.
Great job guys! The two controls worked well, as with leveling them up. And having 4 options was cool too for abilities to mix it up. Really impressed!
I know how much work something like this is, so I doubt you had time to add much more. But some suggestions would be maybe health power ups to heal you and maybe another enemy type or like a boss after so many waves.
Fun game! Will you be making the source code available?
Good idea but you should look into the balancing. I leveled the book from the very beginning and by level 20 I was basically untouchable. Ended up making it to level 56 because I started moving around too much and getting cocky haha
yeah basically this game is really unbalanced due to the time constraints. we will polish this project more for sure but it would be unfair to keep working on it after LD deadline
There is a lot of content in this and it's very nicely balanced. A really fun entry with a slick visual style (the background and lighting in particular). Good work!
I absolutely love the way you're giving me the choice of what to use and to try it out at the same time. And with which mouse button. And fully ingame. Seriously, that's some great integration there that I've never quite seen like this before.
The gameplay itself is fun, but after a few days it degraded (at least for me) mostly to running away - which is a pity!
The graphics are great - I like the dark/night lighting. The character design for the main hero is really cool, and the attack animations (especially the sword) works out really well. Walking animations would've been great, but I guess that's really hard to do if you can walk in any direction while facing any direction...
The controls are perfect. The music is okay, but it think it could fit better. The sound effects work.
Duo control system is a great innovation, I like how you can mix and match items and all have their uses. Going all mange is quite fun shooting fireballs and the defensive spell is great pushing you away from danger AND freezing the enemy! Graphic and map are nice, music is nice although out of theme with the rest of the setting. If you do a post comp version a walk animation for the guy would be an idea.
The game feels very complete. The items and the left-right click control scheme work well, although I did get a sore finger from too much clicking at some point. This would be even greater with multiple levels (say, you enter a new room after level 40).

Got to Day 16

Overall great work!

loved the shadows and style and controls
Love the effects each weapon has. I'm amazed by the amount of work you guys put in.
Great job on this!

All in all, a pretty solid game!
I also like the skull that appears as you lose health. Nice presentation!
I didn't see the first time that you can upgrades your objects.
I hate the small yellow ones they are too fast for me.
Once you get your magic level 40+ it's quite difficult to die, though :p
