Slime v1.3

Single Player abilities:

• High jump and Auto jumping

The slime's springy body allows it to jump higher than any of the default characters, and simply holding down the jump button will let him keep pogoing around the level.

Although, due to his lack of limbs to give him any proper impulse, the slime has a bit of a windup before he can soar through the air.

• Air jump

A slime's body can be quite slippery, so it's not uncommon to see yourself sliding off a cliff during the jump windup process. However, after the slime is done charging up his jump, you'll still jump even if you are in the air, Donkey Kong Country style!

• Spike Ball

The slime's main ability is to change its body into a powerful spiked slime ball with a press of the SPIN key, bouncing all around the stage and destroying anything in its path! Bounce off walls, off the ground, and destroy any robots that dare challenge your gooey self!


Normally the spike ball can bounce on the ground only once before the slime reverts back to his normal form. However...

• Spike Boost

By pressing SPIN again just before landing on the ground or touching a wall, the slime can both keep the spike ball moving and give it a massive speed or height boost depending on what you collide with. Keep up a good chain of boosts to go crazy fast!


And don't forget you can undo the spike state at any time by pressing JUMP, or transform into a spike ball instantly in the air with SPIN. Master your transformation and gain absolute control over the maps!

Co-op ability:

• Spike Shield

If a nearby friend holds either the CUSTOM 1 or TOSS FLAG buttons, the slime can home in on them by pressing JUMP in midair, becoming a shield for them. This will only work if neither the slime nor the other player already have a shield.


In this form, the slime will protect his friends from any spikes, and will also break any walls they touch. But be careful! If they get hit, the slime is the one who takes all the damage. If a so called "friend" decides to throw you both off a cliff, hop off them by pressing JUMP!

• Shield Pulse

As a shield, the slime can press the SPIN key to briefly extend his spikes, damaging enemies and monitors. The pulse lasts about as long as Amy's twin spin, and any monitors popped by this ability will give their rewards to the slime instead of his friend. If you're both running full speed ahead into an enemy with no way to stop, then PULSE!

• Projectile Bouncing

The slime's shield pulse can also be used to reflect projectiles right back at whoever fired them. Not all projectiles can be reflected, but the ones that can be will be shot right back and damage whoever tried to shoot you! It even works in ring slinger!

• Any enemy that manages to survive a spike attack will get slimed pretty badly. It doesn't really do anything, but painting Eggman's face green is always fun.

• The spike ball is your only means of attacking enemies, and jumping on them will only hurt you instead. Transforming into a spike ball in midair is a lot more effective for combat than dashing at every enemy you see.

• Slimes don't really need to breathe, so stay underwater as long as you'd like...but be careful with space. The lack of pressure is still enough to put the slime in danger.

• The slime can't use shield abilities. This may be changed in the future, but right now you'll have to get creative with your spike ball bounces to reach higher areas instead of using a whirlwind shield.

• Is all the action and adventuring getting to you? Why not take a quick break every now and then? Just stay still for a little bit and forget all your problems.

As of v1.3 I think I am satisfied with slime as a whole so I probably won't be touching him again unless some worrying bug appears.
