i had alot of fun with this game! i wish the walking speed was a little faster, but other than that the gameplay was really fun and the graphics were awesome aswell.

Thanks for playing! The speed was something I struggled to balance with the animation speed looking normal, so will definitely be revisiting it in the future

I had a lot of fun playing this game and the eerie dark vibe was super fun. Awesome music and art, it was a great fit. I do think the slime should have a slightly faster movement speed, that would make it more fun to explore and look around. Very impressive for 1 person in 3 days. Good work, keep it up!!! (also SUPER cool story, very interesting)

I won! Yay!  What a fun little puzzle game and the perfect pace too. I like that you didn't make it too long before getting the next slime compound ability thing =)

Very nice game. 

I liked the visual style, it's consistent. Audio matched the gameplay.

Totally matched the theme!

Though, I think keeping all collected compound at your disposal seemed a bit too easy. Giving a player e.g. 2 slots that a player could swap at compound stations would make it a bit more challenging.

Nevertheless, good job!
