Escape the Slime Lab

A tiny puzzle platformer game in which you place special Lab Shapes to help a slime escape the Slime Lab. But there is a catch! Lab shapes can only be placed if they enclose the slime inside!

Originally made in around 60 hours as a jam entry for Ludum Dare 54, this is now the post-jam version.

The original jam version is kept as a download for windows or web html5 as version 1.1 below.

Be warned: the new final level might be too difficult, but it is doable. I might modify/remove it in the next update.

Meanwhile, click here for a solution to that final level.

Post-jam version:

The post-jam version you can play above or download below is still a work in progress. As of now, it includes new and reworked levels, better player movement and shape placement, and new experimental collectables on two levels, among other changes.

Controls:

• A/D - Movement
• Spacebar - Jump
• Left Click - Pick/place shapes
• Tab - Toggle grid-assisted placement
• R - Reset level
• P - Reset back to first level

Placing shapes:

• Use your mouse to pick Lab Shapes from the bottom of the screen and place them on the level.
• A shape cannot be moved once placed.
  
• The slime can use the shape walls to jump.

• Shapes can be "planned" anywhere on the level, but will only be placed once the slime goes inside of its area.
• Placing a new shape removes the last one.

• Press [tab] to toggle grid-assisted placement.
