You can finally play as murderous slime in this goop-filled game

polygon.com:

This isn’t your average slime enemy. Asher Zhu, or Vuthric on Twitter, is making a video game where you play the entirety of the game as a slime. Now, instead of fighting slimes as a hero, you can finally learn what it’s like to occupy a brainless blob of goo.

We have slime and more in Cool WIP, Polygon’s weekly roundup of eye-catching clips and screenshots of works in progress. Each week, the Polygon staff scours the internet for the most interesting games still under construction, to give you a sampler of the coolest up-and-coming projects.

This week we have normal goo, toxic goop, a virtually recreated Moog, a developer using Twitter to help design a game, and a town filled with the most adorable dinosaurs.

Asher Zhu’s Slime is everything I want and more. In a recent clip, you can see just how goopy and violent goo can be. At one point, we see the goo absorb an entire human body and drag it around. It’s a far cry from all the slime that I’ve beaten up in various RPGs. I guess it was about time for the slimy creatures to stand up and fight back.
