We agreed with this one that the final level should be your actual game! Everyone thought this was the most engaging puzzle, and I can think of ways you could extend the mechanic, possibly even incorporating your switches and/or crates. "Baba is You with Slime" was suggested as a tagline!
The music spawns in a little loud, this is pretty common but maybe just ramp the default volume down a bit.
Overall really enjoyable with a lot of potential! Nice work.
hell yeah slug game
Simple looks but big brain game!
You made a cute looking Game with OldSchool mechaniks feel new with the Color part. I could think of alot of extentions with this, like cleaning colored trailes with boxes and open paths befor you can color connect crystals. etc. Maybe some other units which take away your space of movement.
Over all its a very nice game, and the theme of spreading your slime over the whole map is also funny!
NIce submission!
Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! Will definitely have a look into some of these extension ideas.
