A downloadable game

The Slime King has spoken: The Princess is lost in the deep forest, and you’re the only one slick enough to bring her back.

Slick-Slime is a high-speed 2D platformer where momentum is your best friend. Forget walking—master the art of the grapple-slide-jump combo to maintain terminal velocity and tear through the environment. If you enjoy Celeste and a platforming challenge, you may enjoy this game.

If you want to speedrun, I added debug that enables you to skip past levels. This is also very helpful if you find yourself stuck on a level and would look at the other available levels.

Movement Tips:

In this version of the game for the Bigmode Game Jam, movement can be tricky so here are a couple things to note.

  • Grapple only works if your mouse is past the object of collision. Imagine a ray that only goes as far as your mouse. If the ray doesn't pass through the object of collision, you will not be able to grapple (bad design on my end).
  • One of the slickiest movement comes from grapple-sliding, which enables you to gain massive speed and distance when combined with a jump. To execute, ensure you are flattened and pointing your mouse through the floor in front of you. Press the LMB while flattened to slide and SPACEBAR immediately after to execute a long jump.
