Slime Salad

takoyaki_kungpao_02.gif Demo 1.2 did really good. Really glad I've taken the time to consider what people's feedback would mean to the game and making said changes. It's made the game significantly stronger. There's a final thing I wanted to do from 1.2 feedback but I'm honestly just ready to move ...

All of my tinkering this week has paid off handsomely. I have to draw and program the animations for the hard mode fish attack, but there's now a charge attack that lets you mow down dudes. Working on it has definitely inspired me to make more enemy types and handle level balance in fun new ways mov...

Nearly finished with my Demo 1.0 updates and will be ready for the next build soon. The tutorial is finished, which I think is pretty solid. I didn't see the point in making it until the demo, but now that it's here it feels like a good companion to the game and does create an avenue to make the gam...

Took a good chunk of August off, getting back into the swing of things with the game now. During that off time, I had a demo tested to see how close it was quality and enjoyment wise. There wound up being a lot of tweaks, so I decided to delay doing NEXT Fest for the February one and then release th...

Takoyaki0138.gif I managed to get custom saves sorted out for the game. Each save will be dedicated to Normal or Hard mode respectively. Demo is in pretty good shape. I've spent a fair amount of time away from the game to I think rebalance it a little more without being super accustomed to hard mod...

Takoyaki0128.gif Worked on something I brainstormed for maybe a month now, this week. It's a new enemy type for Takoyaki. Everything is placeholder for this gif but I think it still shows what happens pretty well. This enemy I am dubbing the tank, it has like 20 hit points. However you can right cl...

Takoyaki0116.gif Finished World 4. It's a short and sweet (pun intended) level with a lot of intensity packed in. I learned a lot more than expected about slice extras in particular for this one. Why some extras can't have a value of 1 I do not know but I didn't argue, moved on and figured out a wo...

Hehe! The eclair animation is satisfying, and I love how big it explodes Thanks! Seeing everything blow up is one of my favorite parts of the game. I love it when the game is like full on manic and you click a ton of stuff and it's just a ton of them happening at once. Takoyaki0112.gif I'm pretty c...

takoyaki_eclair.gif Going a little slower paced now that I got the core demo content done. I finished the eclair today. Hoping to move on to the boss soon-ish. I'm expecting to do a big round of polish to the demo content itself, rebalance some sound effects before demo is released. Nothing as glam...

How are you planning to do DLC? I assume since we know a little more now and that it's an additional short game and not a part of the game itself you'll do the bundle route? I suppose you can do the trick where you check file directory for the DLC RPG file to load it? I've liked the idea of DLC but ...

Very promising start! I feel confident if you stick with it you'll figure it out. There's a number of people in the Discord who have implemented pixel based movement you can consult with and I'm sure they'll ease you in the right direction. Keep up the great work!

Your graphics are excellent. Thanks! Takoyaki0064.png Takoyaki0065.png I think I finished the tiles for the 4th world today. You climb a giant cake to fight a smaller cake. The bosses are gonna need some attention to make them work better/smoother but I think in the coming weeks they'll be sorted o...

Takoyaki0002.png Been a little bit since I shared an update. Right now the demo is in final polish mode. I've made all needed segments to complete it, aside from an ending credits and thanks for playing part at the end of World 3. PJ has to finish up two songs to finish his part of the demo, Rue is...

I made a trailer for the Steam page which is kind of a representation of the three levels currently made for anyone interested.

This week was pretty great for Takoyaki. FInished up World 3 aside from audio items, and then this weekend I worked on the level perks. If you can reach the Orca King in each stage you unlock a bonus round where you spin a wheel and get a beverage. It's not Gatorade, it's Orcaade. The implied joke i...
