Welcome to the Slime Siphon, a puzzle-platformer created for the GameDev.tv Game Jam!

You play as "Ooze", a tiny test subject trapped in a mysterious laboratory filled with squishy blue bio-slimes. Ooze and all those blue slimes are part of a king slime that is now loose in the laboratory. Ooze is the only one with the consiousness of the King slime and can attract smaller slimes to grow bigger.

Every slime you consume adds to your physical mass, making you heavier and stronger. But beware: shooting slimes to defeat enemies or solve puzzles depletes your mass. If you take a hit, you lose mass. Lose it all, and it's game over!

Remember

  • Consume to Grow: Walk over blue slimes to absorb them. You'll grow larger, gain health, and become heavy enough to trigger massive stone floor switches.
  • Eject to Shrink: Need to squeeze through a tiny gap, cross a fragile floor, or rocket-jump across a chasm? Shoot your slime mass away! But be careful—you are sacrificing your own health to do it.
  • Tactical Recoil: Attacking enemies causes weapon's recoil. Use this to your advantage to alter your momentum mid-air and dodge deadly traps!

  • Theme Integration: This year it has all been about connections. Our main character Ooze is trying to connect enough pieces of itelf together to become its original self.
