Great work on your first game! Definitely agree with ramping up the difficulty would help a lot and having a death screen/pause between runs would be appreciated! I also found the controls to be a little finicky as the cat got stuck moving downwards for me. I think you could really grow this idea it a really cool bullet hell style game! Appreciated the way you could use the water and the house to avoid the slimes! I also think not starting by the water would help with understanding the fear of water and having other obstacles for the slimes to move around would help with the dodging and feeling like I should move around the map. Also making the fear of water more of an obvious change associated with the red screen since not all bodies of water causes it I think would be a great touch! Congrats on your first game I hope you make more :D

Took me a bit to get the hang of the mechanic, its pretty difficult to get out of the middle of the map and start kiting the slimes. The axe-mechanic is pretty fun and unique though, it was fun once I understood what I had to do. Only thing is, I didnt really understand why the red was flashing and I was slowing down, it felt random most of the time.
Really nice art and gameplay! The instant restart mechanic felt a little sudden - It restarted maybe 5 times within the first 10 seconds of gameplay until I figured out what the game was. If the difficulty ramped up a bit slower you'd have time to figure out the gameplayer without frustration. But honestly a really cool game!
sick art on this one!! took a couple of tries but i found the meta to wipe out the slimes, had a great time :)
Omg!!! Extremely cute and extremely difficult! 😂 The art is lovely, I'll keep trying to beat all the mischievous slimes 💪🏼
Fun game! Took me a second to get the hang of it but was very satisfying to eliminate all the slimes
This was like the perfect blend of comfy crazy horror - the horror of not being able to outrun the slimes aaaaaah the cat should have NOT picked this cursed island! Super cute and HARD TO PLAY but I was vibing and you did a great job for your first game! Be so proud!!
