===========================================================================
NOTE: This game should be able to be played on mobile devices as well as PC. Really, anything with a mouse/touchscreen and a web browser. Give it a shot, and tell me if it works!

What do you do when you're being chased by an angry, sentient slime monster? If 'RUN AWAY' was your answer, you'd only be half correct!
It's a game of survival, and you have to do whatever it takes to stay alive a little longer. Even if it costs a life of another...
===========================================================================
HOW TO PLAY:
1. Click on the button with the red man to start playing.
2. Click on the appropriate button when an NPC comes within range.
3. Upon a successful hit, your cooldown will be refreshed almost instantly to allow you to attack again.
4. If your attack hits nothing, or hits the wrong person, the cooldown will be 2 seconds long.
5. Survive as long as possible!

This game jam did NOT start well. I meant to enter the compo, but the theme didn't sit right with me. The game that I made at the start was far too ambitious and complex, and the whole thing fell apart. I left the compo slightly disheartened, but I swore on my pride to at least submit something.
And now, in about 12 hours (less, because of work), I have managed to scrounge up something I'm actually rather pleased with. Not the best game, but it fit the personal criteria I set for myself in this game jam: arcade-ish gameplay and compatible with both phones and PCs. It turned out a lot better than I thought it would, and perhaps I might come back to polish it.
All in all, another wonderful experience in a game jam. Thank you for playing my game, if you have!
