How it feels

Controlling a single flying sword through quiet, pixelated dungeons, you solve puzzles with thoughtful clicks and a slimy companion.

What players say

Players praise the short run time of about one hour, the unique slime-tethering controls, and the catchy soundtrack. The writing gets laughs, and boss battles are a highlight, though the slime's acceleration and tether range can frustrate.
