You Are a Slime

You are a slime. A very stubborn one.

You refuse to kill anyone. Not the guards, not the other creatures — no one. All you want is to escape this cursed dungeon. But freedom has a price.

This game was made for the "Paying the Price" jam.

Every step forward demands sacrifice.

Gameplay

You are a living blob of slime. To progress, you must literally tear pieces of yourself off:

  • Set yourself on fire and hurl burning chunks at vines to clear your path.
  • Leap across deadly chasms — but every jump costs you part of your body as pieces fall into the abyss.
  • Fight against other slimes using your own body as a weapon.

The more you push forward, the smaller and weaker you become. But you refuse to give up.

Controls

  • WASD — Move
  • Space — Dash
  • Mouse — Aim
  • Left Click — Throw burning slime chunks

Features

  • Unique self-sacrifice core mechanic
  • Beautiful yet dark dungeon atmosphere
  • Visually satisfying body-melting and shrinking gameplay
  • Deep connection to the "Paying the Price" theme — both mechanically and emotionally
  • Short but memorable escape story

You chose not to kill. Instead, you chose to burn yourself to get out.

Will there be anything left of you when you finally reach the surface?

This version is engaging, clearly explains the concept, ties strongly to the jam theme, and works great for itch.io.

Would you like a shorter version, a more humorous tone, or a darker/more emotional one? Just say the word! 🔥🟢
