A tiny puzzle platformer game in which you control a slime trying to escape the Slime Lab.
Place special "lab shapes" around the slime to solve your way out of the lab.
Note - There is only a tutorial + 3 levels. There is also no main menu or end screen, sorry about that.
----
- Spacebar - Jump
- Left Click - Pick/place shapes
- R - Reset level
- Use your mouse to pick shapes from the bottom of the screen and place them on the level.
- A shape cannot be moved once placed.
- Shapes can only be placed while encasing the slime inside of them.
- Placing a new shape removes the last one.
- The slime can use the shape walls to jump.
- Added Windows version. (Oct/03/23)
----
- Changed tutorial levels to hopefully have a smoother learning curve.
- Added a couple of new levels (new final level might be too hard...).
- Added collectable cards to two levels (Still deciding on how to handle collectables).
- A shape can now be "planned" anywhere on the level. It will be automatically placed when the slime enters it.
- Changed movement to be smoother and more controllable.
- Added level and global timer.
- Added experimental grid shape placement (press Tab to toggle it).
- Added a simple main menu.
- Game can be reset back to the first level by pressing [P].
