You are Slime
You are Slime drops you into the role of a humble gelatinous creature with an extraordinary ability: you can reshape your body at will. The game is a clever blend of platforming and puzzle-solving, where every level presents a new set of physical challenges. You'll slide through narrow crevices, launch yourself off elastic surfaces, and engulf objects that alter your properties. The controls are intuitive, but mastering the slime's momentum and elasticity is the real test. The world is a playful laboratory of experiments, with each stage introducing fresh mechanics that keep you on your toes. Whether you're squeezing under a low barrier or stretching to reach a distant ledge, the joy comes from experimenting with your form. The physics engine responds beautifully, making every squish and stretch feel satisfying. With a gentle learning curve and a steady stream of new ideas, You are Slime offers a delightful escape for anyone who enjoys thoughtful, tactile gameplay.

What is You are Slime
Become a shape-shifting blob navigating a maze of physics-based trials. Squish, stretch, and absorb your way to the exit.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move, and hold the action button to stretch or charge a bounce. Absorb glowing items to enhance your abilities and clear each stage's goal.
Tips for Playing
- Experiment with how long you hold the stretch button—timing is crucial for big jumps.
- Absorb every item you find; they often grant new ways to interact with the environment.
- Watch your slime's color; it signals when you're about to lose mass or need to reabsorb.
- Use the environment to your advantage—bounce off walls to reach higher platforms.
- If you're stuck, try reshaping to a thinner form to squeeze through tight spots.
