How it feels

A lighthearted, first-person sandbox experience where you explore a vibrant alien world, collecting cute slimes and managing a ranch at your own gentle pace.

What players say

Players love the adorable slimes and find the game relaxing at first, but many report frustration with losing all items on death and a repetitive endgame. Exploration can feel aimless, with confusing maps and one-way teleports, while the economy plateaus quickly once basic upgrades are bought.
