You are a Gelatinous Cube peacefully patrolling your dungeon when a horde of adventurers suddenly burst in. Time to consume!
Control a slime cube in a big open space while an evergrowing amount of fighters attack you. Consume them by simply touching them and watch them disolve but watch out! If the *Limited Space* inside of you is already full of adventurers you will be sliced and diced instead! On the plus side, eating all that delicious delicious flesh will make you bigger and give you more energy, allowing you to eat more adventurers at the same time and move faster. I unfortunately didn't have time for a win condition so just play until you lose or tire of playing. :D
For this LD, when I finally had the weekend entirely free and felt motivated my immune system decided it would be funny to go the way of Mike and make me sick. Of course. The TODO list I had left for this game is therefore almost as long as the list of the things I managed to do but at least I made *something*. I hope it doesn't bug out too much for you (I know for a fact the physics *will* if you get far enough) and gives you at least a moment of enjoyment. :) In spite of this critisism is very very welcome, while I bet a lot of it will be something I planned to do you can never have too much feedback. :D

Controls (or rather Control) & Instructions:
- Hold the Left Mouse Button to make the Gelatinous Cube move to where you're pointing
- If you have room in your cube (Capacity in bottom right of screen) you can bump into enemies to consume them
- If you *don't* have room they will hurt you instead
- Consumed enemies will disolve over time, freeing up space
- Disolving enemies increases your size, capacity, mass and speed with diminishing payoffs the bigger you are
Tools:
- Godot
- Aseprite
- Krita
- Bosca Ceoil
- Audacity
