Making a Slime simulator - what if you feed it soda? (Physically correct)

I'll setup a Steam (wishlistable) page in a few months after we have a concrete overall game design. For now, like and subscribe would be the best way to keep up and support us!

The fact the slime can not only split off into smaller slimes to complete tasks but you can also switch to those smaller slimes and then call the other slimes over to merge again? I think that’s my absolute favourite thing about this, it’s so clever.

I wish all my video games were more “video gamey”, or placed a special emphasis on being so. Because, well, they are video games, after all.

In a good way, this feels like an artist's game. It's pretty much everything I couldn't do. Nice animations, particles, shaders, assets in general, a good sense of lighting, composition. It doesn't need much thoughts on gameplay and has a game loop so most of what's missing in terms of game design is just some level design (on the game flow & pathing side more than anything artistic as it's already insane). It's crazy you got such a vertical slice before playtesting in earnest.

Slimes are really fun because you can change how they work just changing the texture they are and what they are made out of. Are they viscous like molasses? bouncy and rubberly like Flubber? Are they more watery? Or are they made out of something like lava? Are they made out something less dangerous like water, or are they a mass of digestive acid?
