Free XP: Controls

Left Arrow = Left

"X" key = long charge, and then a LEAP forward

You are a slime fighting for your life. An endless number of adventurers attack you in pursuit... of Free XP.

TIP:  Use your 'powerful' leap attack to repel attackers!
TIP 2: Only charge a leap if you can do so safely!
TIP3: Slimes are weak...
TIP4: You heal 1 HP every round you survive.

This little game was programmed in Pico8 for Trijam#291. Development time was 3 hours. I worked on the game alone, and I made the assets myself. This was the first time I had enough time to add sounds to a Trijam submission, so I added a few bleeps and boops. Sorry, I haven't ventured out into making music yet. I had more ideas for different enemy types and maybe even a power-up system based on the last adventurer you defeated, but I ran out of time. Three hours is so short! Oh well, I hope you find some enjoyment out of this silly idea I had.

Thank you very much for playing. Enjoy the rest of your day.

So you heal 1 HP per round?  It did not seem to happen for me.  Also, it seems like when the game is over, the sound effects make it sound like the game is still playing.  The whole 'wind up' and anticipate your enemy move definitely adds strategy to the concept. :)

Keep it up.  You're making good progress with making games!
