Slime Fields (GM48 Prototype)

[Description as written on the GM48 competition entry page in Jan 2020. I kept developing this game after the competition to add custom levels, online highscores, game balance, and basically a whole game's worth of content more that you can find right here!]

---

Summary:

In a land of cute, bouncy slimes, what would you do to defend your homeland? Collect and command your forces while you can!

Gameplay:

Hatch and command slimebabies to defend your base from slimemeanies! Click and drag a slime to tell it to go where you'd like. As you defeat more meanies, more slimes will grow to be at your disposal!

Controls:

• Move Camera - WASD, Arrows, or Right Mouse Button
• Zoom Camera - Mouse Scrollwheel, or Page Up/Down
• Command Slime - Click and Drag
• Wake up Slime - Click
• Ping Slimes - Click on Ground

Notable Features:

• Procedural Challenges so it stays fresh to replay over and over again.
• Several Built-In Maps tuned for unique experiences.
• Custom Map importer so you can customize or create entirely new maps via a simple .png to play on or share a collection with your friends
• 9 Song Original Soundtrack by:
  • Nynja (Space Dungeon / Suh Burb)
  • Dot Minus (Battle Chef Brigade and Sausage Sports Fest)

Watch it be made:

• I streamed ALL 48 hours of its development without stopping, most of which with the team on a call. If you want to watch these crazy hijinks and occasional sleep deprivation consequences, you can enjoy them all on my Twitch Channel, or click directly to the 48 hour VOD here. [Temporarily down, will be back soon!]

Tips/Heads Up:

• Slimes inside the base circle get an extra hit point
• Huuuuge custom maps may take a couple seconds to load on some hardware but should be self optimized after that
• Don't hit Escape twice in a row during gameplay, it was implemented the last minute, haha
• Have fun! Thank you for playing! :)
