How it feels

A brisk, linear run-and-gun roguelike where you transform enemies into weapons as a cursed slime demon lord.

What players say

Players liken Zlime to Kirby meets Skul, praising the core loop of consuming enemies to steal their skills. The mana system can frustrate early on, but unlocking upgrades eases it. The pixel art and dialogue charm, though some cutscenes cannot be skipped. As an early access title, players note the story is incomplete and waiting for full release.
