Great job for a first game. I can definitely see this being a good distracting mobile game on the train to work. My recommendation is to dial it down a bit on the chaos though. It gets a little too much too quick and it makes it almost impossible to keep track of more than one slime at a time.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Multiple avatars that you control at once constantly spawn in, and so do spikes. They spawn faster and faster, and it becomes chaotic.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes and almost yes - i did not make the fonts. everything other than that i made myself!! :D

Survival ChaosFirst I thought: "Well, this seems very basic and boring." Then I saw that this was your first game! Compared to the steaming piles of garbage I created when I was starting out, and even now, then this game becomes absolutely amazing!
It does miss some music and propper sfx but apart from that anything is there.
I also really enjoy the fact that every slime can die, but as long as one's on screen you survive. This feels like teleporting around the map, controling different slimes trying to create a slime army!
What makes this game impressive is that it is your first one. And you can feel extra proud of yourself for creating an actually playable game as your first, rather than a red screen that says pen!s in blue letters. Yes with the exclamation mark

Vulcan GuardA very interesting concept with an interesting extra mechanic hidden in the game, I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but it was certainly interesting. Being able to move the slimes by pushing against the walls let me try and make a giant slime blob. It definitely got VERY difficult right around when the first... "chaos star" showed up? Yea that was about where I died, a lot.
But overall, very interesting, and a nice little arcade style game.
This was actually a really solid first jam entry! It was quite fun and it got really hectic really quickly. I definitely liked having the choice of clumping the slimes together and risking losing them all or having them spread out and having a higher chance of losing them!
I wasn't able to beat the game so I'm not sure if there was an end but I think that when the meteor was coming down, there should've been a little bit of screenshake and maybe some shurikens stopped coming for a brief moment. I think having an effect to make it a little clearer that a slime spawns in would be nice too!

Download VirusesNice game! The boulder really surprised me for a second there. Very chaotic yet also pretty addictive as well. Good job, especially on your first jam!

Mash MayhemHey Lavatrex! Nice job on this game. Very impressive for your first jam! If you've accomplished this much in the first month of your game dev journey, I look forward to whatever you might jam (or make outside a jam) in the future!
I really like the core concept here - dodge but you're multiple things. Trying to make the most of a bad situation to keep the most slimes alive is a great choice to have to make in a split second. While I appreciated the warning arrows, they often felt more like noise than helpful information. Maybe this was because they moved very similarly to the other projectiles and had a similar, pointy silhouette? Maybe just stationary arrows at the sides of the screen would have worked better. I actually found the sideways blades to be the most frustrating since I often found them spawning on top of me while I hugged a wall.
Very chaotic, keep up the good work :)
