Mutant Broccoli and Butterfly

Coolness★★★★★★★★★★10%
Slimes are taking over the forest. You are a broccoli-looking tree that uses butterflies to change the slime into normal forest creatures. Slime can change forest creatures into more slime. Flowers can change slime into forest creatures again.

WASD - movement
Left mouse click - fire in that direction
Goal: clear the map of slime before there's too many of them. (They like to hide behind trees.) Don't step on the slime too often. It's not good for your health.

The fox and the bunny are really cute c:
With the little animations everything really comes to life! I really liked the idea of growing flowers, too. So cute! :3

Theme-wise: a butterfly totally is an unconventional weapon! Very clever to take the concept of a topdown shooter and transfer it to a totally contrary scenario.

Cute graphics and idea! So many slimes, it's like Final Fantasy up in here. :P

Well, there's definitely some randomness/creativeness going on here on the concept front. Interesting to say the least. I did a live playthrough of your game if you want to check it out: http://www.twitch.tv/drathy/c/6585841

@ Vaughn - Your playthrough gave me a good laugh. I'm glad you figured out why you turned brown :)
