How does your game fit the theme?
Instead of playing as the hero, you play as a regular slime. The hero becomes a menacing presence that spells disaster for you and your slime family.

Clearly a horror game 10/10. I just wanna gib wife steak
One day the hero will finish his training.
It's been a blast, love the humor and the concept. Gameplay was the right balance of fun and frustration, haha.
Such a cute little slime game! If only I could stop starving my babies XD
A slime simulator. Didn't realise I wanted this until you presented it. A great entry to the game jam!
great game. the slime feels good to play and the enemies telegraph their attacks properly. Like other commenters I didn't know what I was looking for, so in my first attempt my slime family died of starvation. :(
Other small annoyances are: running into slimes that are right behind a room switch with basically no way to avoid them, and occasionally getting stuck inside a corner getting bodied by other slimes.
Edit: How much health does this damn hero have? I've leveld my slime to lvl 17 and must've hit him 6+ times and he still didn't even flinch. :(
Thank you for playing! There are definitely fixes that I would love to do once I'm able to update the game.
The hero spawns with health and attack based on your slime's level when you leave the cave, so for slimes determined to kill a hero a good strategy is to leave the cave while a hero is present and very quickly level up once or twice before finding the hero, which will put you at an advantage. It is very unlikely for a regular slime to defeat a hero, although it is technically possible :)
Nice work. I like how the enemies telegraph their attacks with a good bit of warning.
I think placing a food in the first room would have made it a bit clearer what the food was, I spent a while in the first area thinking the mobs would drop the food haha.
Great idea playing as the slime! The scary music spooked me too much, then I got destroyed by a hero. 10/10 what I expect in the life of a slime
Great game! I don't know what I was thinking but when I heard the scary music I sought out to see this hero in training and boy did I regret it. I think it'd be nice if the xp the slimes drop is auto picked up, it was nice that the ones that I forgot to pick up stayed on the map even after I left the area
I just wanna provide for my slime family but the world is too hostile :’( great game, really fun to play!
I like the concept.
"Stay dead" made me laugh :)
Cute game! It'll make me feel bad the next time I play Dragon Quest XD
Wait, I didn't sign up for an horror movie xDDDD
Dude, the prompt "a hero is training" with the music that goes along with it knowing that I'm a weak slime who even struggles with mre yellow monsters was a scary moment. 👁️👁️
Great job! 😁
Very glad it had the intended effect! Thank you for playing!
This is fun! I really like how getting attacked makes you drop your food. It might have been more interesting if attacking also made you drop it, but that might make the game too difficult. Good job overall!
pretty fun having to find my way back home
my slime spouse is so adorable <3
I enjoyed the concept but could not manage to find the hero :(
The size of the game is amazing but it is lacking a bit of directional indications
Interesting game, large space many with many scenes. I can feel the hard work you have done :)
Thanks for creating this!
I'm impressed you were able to create such a large game space in such a short time! It's a very unique game. I like the concept, but I also felt that having food gathering, hit points, experience points, and a hero watching you is a lot of concepts to introduce in a short time-frame, which created some confusion for me as a player.
