Good start to a game. It kinda felt like a flash game since the styles weren't very compatible, but the sprites had fun animations. Keep going though.

well the assets were taken from craftpix.net, lol

From what I understand, the game is endless. I think you did a great job implementing the theme, and I really enjoyed it.

One piece of feedback: I didn't hear a damage sound when the player got hit. The slime turning red is good visual feedback, but adding a sound effect would make it feel much more impactful.

I also have a gameplay suggestion. It could be interesting if the player could sit on a chair and hold S to rest and recover health more quickly. To keep it balanced, resting could also make the enemies stronger or increase their level, adding an extra layer of challenge. As it is now, the game isn't too difficult as long as you don't get overwhelmed by too many enemies at once.

Overall, I enjoyed it. Great job, and congratulations!

Thanks for playing and the suggestion. Yes regarding balancing, couldn't give much time to that, since it's a jam's time. Regarding hit sound, that's a bit weird since there is a hit sound effect. I'll take a look, thanks for informing.

I'm not sure. I could hear the sound when hitting enemies, but I don't think I heard a sound when my character took damage. Maybe the damage sound is just too quiet compared to the other audio, or perhaps it doesn't trigger every time.

Either way, you did a great job, especially considering this was made during a game jam. Congratulations once again!

Bullet physics was awesome. I also like the slime movement and upgrades. Good game:)
