I think the "adapt" mechanic has potential, but I did not seem to be able to cause any damage to the Slime boss in the first place. Every time I would launch an attack and collide with it, I would instantly die. So for me it was just a game of trying to dodge his attacks and wait to fill that bar. I like games about evolution and unique abilities so I would love if this game went more into that direction in future updates! (Edit: typos)
