Short-lived Slime
This is my entry for the 20 Second game jam!
How to Play
Use WASD or arrow keys to change menu options or click the option (ie *PLAY* or *RETRY*
Use the `Spacebar`, mouse `LMB` or `tap` the screen to flap the paddles. Watch out! The timing is tricky!
Story
Unbeknownst to the general public, slimes actually have a short life span. Even shorter if they find themselves trapped in a pinball machine. Can you guide the slime to multitudes of treasure before it exhales its last breath? Or will you get some goodies before faceplanting into the hard surfaces of a pinball machine?

Wow, not gonna lie, this was pretty hard for me to play (or I really suck at this XD), but kept me re-trying many times. It feels like playing a Gameboy color game or those old nokia games. Maybe if the slime have like a 20 second health bar, I might be able to get some scores, but overall this art and gameplay is great!
Thanks for playing! I was going for an older arcade game feel or even retro console game
yo! this is my favorite so far in this game jam 🤌🏼took like 1 min before i understood that spacebar is crucial when playing on a pc
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
