Hey everyone! I'm a solo developer working on Slime Reborn, a free pixel-art incremental RPG where you grow, evolve, and explore as a little slime!

I've recently released my biggest update yet, introducing several new gameplay systems!

🌍 Exploration System

• Explore new locations, encounter creatures, and uncover hidden secrets.
• Discover NPCs, quests, and resources along the way.

⚔️ Combat System

• Fight enemies using different abilities and strategies.
• Upgrade your stats, unlock combat skills, and become stronger.

🌳 Skill Tree & Progression Rework

• A completely redesigned skill tree with new upgrades.
• New mutations, abilities, and progression mechanics.
• More meaningful choices as your slime grows.

💬 I'd love your feedback!

I'm especially interested in hearing what you think about the combat balance, exploration, and overall progression. Does the game feel rewarding? Is anything too slow, confusing, or frustrating?

The game is completely free to play in your browser or on Windows!

Thanks to everyone who gives it a try! Every bit of feedback helps me improve the game. 💚

Thanks for the feedback! I’m currently reworking the upgrade system into more of a skill tree, with stronger upgrade paths, better synergies, and more freedom to build around different abilities. I’m also changing XP so using abilities contributes to leveling up, which should help fix the issue of needing to buy upgrades that feel meaningless. These changes are planned for a future update.

Minerals increase your Max Mass, so spending them also reduces the bonus they provide. It’s an intentional mechanic that encourages you to manage different resources depending on what you want to unlock. You can see the Max Mass bonus in the tooltip by hovering over either the Minerals resource or the Max Mass icon in the Stats section. That said, I agree that if you don’t hover over those elements, you may never realize how it works. I’ll try to make this mechanic much more obvious in the game.

Thanks a lot for the kind words and for playing through the demo! 😊 Orb of Creation was definitely one of the games that inspired Slime Reborn. As development continues and I add more mechanics, abilities, and systems, my goal is to make it feel much more unique while keeping what makes the genre fun.

Thanks for the feedback! For now, the core loop is about experimenting with different ability combinations to progress, but I'll keep working on making that clearer and more engaging. I also plan to add more mechanics so players don't feel stuck if they forget to equip a certain ability or buy a specific upgrade, since the game currently relies quite heavily on that. As for the scrolling on Mac/Safari, that's definitely a bug—I appreciate you reporting it, and I'll be fixing it in the next update!

I just released a small update that should fix the Level 4 progression issue. If you get a chance to try it again, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know whether you're still experiencing either of those issues.

Thanks for the feedback!

Could you explain a bit more about where the lag happens? Is it during a specific part of the game, or is the performance generally slow throughout the entire gameplay? That would really help me narrow it down.

Also, just to make sure, are you stuck at Level 4 because there are no upgrades left to buy? I'm already working on improving the XP progression for Level 5, but I just want to confirm that's the issue you're running into.

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the game! 😊 

That's definitely an area that still needs more testing and balancing on my side. You can earn XP by purchasing more upgrades or completing achievements in the game. You can check the Achievements section by clicking the trophy icon on the left side of the screen. I'll also work on making this progression clearer in a future update.

Please let me know if there are no upgrades left to purchase and you've already completed all the achievements possible. If that's the case, then it's a progression issue on my end that I'll need to test and fix for the next update. Based on my own testing, though, you should have enough XP to reach Level 5. 

Thanks for letting me know!

Hi everyone!

I'm excited to announce that the first public Early Access version of Slime Reborn is now available!

Game Link: https://goldendelver.itch.io/slime-reborn

Slime Reborn is a pixel-art idle/incremental RPG where you begin as a tiny slime and gradually grow stronger by unlocking new abilities, gathering resources, discovering hidden combos, and evolving through powerful mutations.

This is only the beginning. I have many features planned for future updates, including:

• New abilities and upgrades
• More mutations and evolution paths
• Additional resources and progression systems
• New areas and events
• A combat system
• And much more!

As this is an Early Access release, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Whether it's bugs, balance, ideas, or features you'd like to see, your feedback will help shape the future of the game.

Thank you to everyone who downloads, plays, and supports the project. I hope you enjoy watching your little slime grow into something much greater!

Hi everyone!

I recently released the first Early Access version of Slime Reborn, a pixel-art idle/incremental where you play as a tiny slime that grows stronger by unlocking new abilities, gathering resources, discovering hidden combos, and evolving through mutations.

The game is still in active development, and I'm looking for honest feedback on everything—from progression and pacing to the UI and overall gameplay loop.

One thing I'm especially thinking about is adding a combat system in a future update. I'd love to hear how you think combat could fit naturally into this type of game without taking away from the idle/incremental progression.

If you have ideas for RPG mechanics, idle features, progression systems, or anything else you'd like to see, I'd really appreciate hearing them!
