Slime Knight (Dalton Hyde)

Our game is an on-rails experience where the player controls several slimes with a single controller and can combine them in unique ways to overcome obstacles and challenges

Slime Knight is a gameplay prototype where a dungeon slime realizes that the lack of unions and support for dungeon monsters is not enough for them to risk their life-fighting adventurers. The slimes then begin to flee the dungeon and its angry king, who chases them towards the exit.

The Slimes can move Forward, Backward, Left, and Right. By switching the position of the slimes in the gamespace, the player can overcome different obstacles.

The Red Slime: Cuts through vines, takes damage from projectiles 

The Blue Slime: Can block projectiles and protect the red slime, takes damage from vines

The Pink Slime: Can jump over obstacles, separates when damaged back into the red and blue slime
