Welcome to Expedite, our submission for Ludum Dare 43.

In this game, you are a slime traversing the world. But to get to the end, you must sacrifice your fellow slimes as platforms and boosts.

Controls


To play this game, use A and D to move side to side. Use W to jump.

Use your mouse to move the cursor, and left click to shoot slimes.

If you shoot down while jumping, you get a boost midair.

If you would like to remove all slimes, just right click.

The menu is janky: hit enter to select, and Up and Down arrow keys to select options.

More game info

You only get a limited amount of slimes per level, so be wary!

Cute, I made it through all the levels. It would have been nice to have a faster slime 'load' at the beginning - it's punishing to have to wait each time when I want to play. It seems like shooting slimes down while jumping is OP - the first level is the best with the switch and little puzzles.
