    Happily going about his day, Slime-san is suddenly swallowed by a giant worm and has to escape before he is digested.

    Slime-San is a 2d platformer that utilises a simplistic, but fairly effective graphical style. Each level challenges the player to jump, slide and dash to avoid obstacles and reach the goal. Everything functions well enough, and the game provides a decent challenge, but    Happily going about his day, Slime-san is suddenly swallowed by a giant worm and has to escape before he is digested.

    Slime-san is a great platformer, it's up there with Celeste. With tons of content, awesome collectibles, mini games, character accessories, and so on, this really is the definition of "getting a bang for your buck." I would recommend this game for any platform lovers.

    I wish I liked Slime-san more than I did, but the platforming is hampered for me severely by the confounding views combined with my dislike of the floatier controls and frustrating dash ability. [Issue #30 – November/December 2017, p. 23]

    Slime-san is a fun and well designed platformer that exudes a retro style of ages gone by and whose varied content and lifespan are certain to keep players entertained for long periods of time, regardless of occasional controller difficulties.

    Consistently surprising, challenging and delightful, Slime-san is totally worth a look.
