Requires Java 8 or newer to play.
Here's another version for Windows if you use 64 bit java: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cl0hg6oydmb5361/slime64.exe?dl=0

I don't know if the Linux or Mac versions work but they are there.

When I click on the .exe it doesnt open? Nothing happens?

Try downloading the 32 bit version that should fix it.

The Linux script isn't playable :(. Looks like it was saved with Windows line endings (which screws up .sh files), and when I removed the \r characters, it said that the jar was corrupted.

Can you upload just the jar file? THOSE I can usually run.

very fun, a bit repetitive though.

Couldn't get the mac build to work. Clicked on the application file and it didn't load. Made sure security settings were off.

Can't run :(

I don't have osx or linux operating systems so I can't troubleshoot those, sorry if they don't run.

The graphics seem to be a bit large, but neat entry! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/p3nh2TkdCXs

Sorry, but I did feel a bit boring, maybe a score system could make the game more challenging :)

The controls are OK. The graphics and animation really need to get a lot more polish.

Revenge of the slime, nice to play for the slime's perspective it doesn't get enough love. Good prototype for shooter

I think this could benefit from managing the size of the sprites so that they feel like they are from the same game. That said, it works in the end and is not bad.

fun, good job on submitting a game

Well, the theme of "growing" is there and the gameplay is okayish, but it just seems way too clunky and quickly made for my tastes. Also, is there a reason why the skeletons shoot pickaxes :D?
