Appreciate the thought. But we’re actually good there. Slime can be applied at any time to the statue to get the ring, so long as the zombie event hasn’t started yet.
Meanwhile, I made a coding mistake that I’ve decided to leave in, because no one has noticed and I don’t think it detracts: There isn’t actually a minimum amount of slimes that need to be caught to satisfy Sylvia and get you the transforming slime jar XD
But yeah. Stuff like this is exactly why I decided on a linear story. Hard to keep track of soft lock situations in a branching path story.
