The Sword and the Slime

Fun & Games

The Sword and the Slime is a unique take on the 2D platformer played using only the mouse! The player has control of a magical floating sword that is tasked with protecting an unscrupulous wizard on a less than glorious quest.....

What inspired you to make this project?
Two things, first off my background is that of a visual artist so programming was new to me and limited what I could contribute to a game project. So I wanted to work on a simple project where I could learn to program. which meant I had to work within my limitations. After that I wanted to see how far I could push a simple game mechanic/concept. That being a game controlled using only the mouse. How can I make that fun? How can I make that compelling? What can I do that hasn't been tried before? Basically the idea that less is more pushed as far as it can go.
