The Insanely Devious Clockwork Training Room For RPG Slimes

Have you ever wondered what kind of a training the little Slimes in RPGs have to undergo?
To find out, enter the Insanely Devious Clockwork Training Room for RPG Slimes, a nightmarish mechanical monster that carefully selects which Slimes will be worthy of being killed in one blow by the heroes on their quest to save the world -- by killing the unworthy ones in one blow.

You will die. A lot. Again and again, until you manage to produce the perfect Slime - the one who will be approved by the devilish machine.

REQUIRES AN XBOX360/XBOX ONE CONTROLLER TO WORK. MAY OR MAY NOT WITH OTHER CONTROLLERS.

IMPORTANT: There's a bug with the pink sticky block; once stuck, you don't drop even though the block restracts. You can, however, drop deliberately but pushing the stick down (you may also dash).

This was a great idea but unfortunately i feel like it needs a bit more polish. The slime doesn't feel as responsive as it could be and i would randomly not be able to double jump sometimes which lead to death. The wall jump is really slow and requires button mashing to be useful. Once again this was a great idea and i did have fun playing. I think if you put some more hours into this and tweak some stuff it could be really good.

Hi Mazlart! Thanks for your kind comment :)

Hi DalesDiscoutTires! Thanks for your comment :)
Yes I see what you mean; I tried my best to make the walljump faster and less buggy but simply didn't have the energy for it by the end of jam. I did try a few fixes but it created more bugs, so I decided to call it a day :p
But I think I'll be working on this post-jam, maybe add levels and stuff.

Oops, sorry, I meant DalesDiscountTires. I hate when people mispell my name, so I wanted to fix this :p

The more it's hard... The more it's fun! It's good and clean.

Ah wish there was a keyboard option

Potentially nice slimes were missed here

Hi KalaDev!
I was too tired to add this option (it wasn't a lot of work but I was simply out of energy). I regret it now, but to be honest I don't think it would be playable using a keyboard. It's a bad excuse and I'll be sure to add those controls post jam but yeah. Sorry.

Wow, really fun game! Nice challenge, funny concept. The controls were a little touchy in some cases but I kept wanting to play it! Really nice work :)
