Glob has refused to be used as sword fodder for fledgling heroes. His kind don't take kindly to this and seek to return him to his rightful place as a level 1 slime.
Escape the dungeon by evading the slimes on each level and reaching the level exit.
Use the arrow keys or W, S, A, D to move. Press 'SPACE' to transform to a cute slime ball that is ignored by other slimes.
Yellow slimes mimic your movement
Green slimes inverse mimic your movement
Red slimes move towards you.

Cute little game. I like the way the different slimes move. It takes some thinking. Good job!
I like the game. Fun puzzle game. I did find a bug I think. If an enemy slime dies with a bomb and you move onto the place the enemy was before you die.
@tanis You have to quit the game. I didn't have enough time to fix the bug before submission
@owyoow Thanks for playing and finding the bug. I couldn't fix it in time.
@StianTheDark You're welcome
@lanestp Thank you very much!
I keep dying and I don't know why. I'm not walking into a slime, a red tile, or a bomb. Is there some difference between the differently colored grey tiles?
@Marjie62 It's the result of an insidious bug (see @owyoow 's comment). I'll fix it as soon as I can. Thank you for playing the game.
I think I found another little bug: if you use up all your turns exactly when you reach the end, you seem to end up in a weird state where you can see the next level but can't move any more.
Regardless, nice idea! It was sometimes quite tricky, and I like how you made moving as the slime ball more expensive than normal movement so that you couldn't use it all the time (the game would be broken!). A simple set of rules made for some nice level design. Also, good graphics and music! Nice work.
@sftrabbit Thank you very much! I have a ton of bug-fixing to do when the voting is over.
Nice entry. I really like how the slime guy move. Like this kind of games :)
Would be great if I didn't have to restart the application every time I died. It's also really hard to see why it is that I die when I die. But the art and concept are really cool.
@marmpa Thank you
@tomlum I'm truly sorry. I didn't have enough time to fix those bugs. I will after the voting ends.
Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
Its really cool game.I wish I could play it more but its small.
@MayanUnreal Thank you. I hope to polish it after once the voting ends.
It would be useful if you could restart the game. Also there is a bug, where using up your moves and reaching the green tile at the same time makes you lose and win at the same time (Shows the screen saying you have been consumed, but moves you to the next level).
@Freank I've added the game on indiexpo.net. You can include it in the video.
Nice entry! Simple, funny and with an excellent background music, I played it a lot :D
Some thoughts: It could be good to have a way to restart, instead of closing/opening the game. Also, some tiles are confusing, maybe mixing them on a chess pattern could be nice ;)
Very unclear, this game needs a tutorial. I kept dying without understanding why, and the fact that there's no restart button made it even worse.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Really fun game! Also, thanks for having a Linux version :D
