Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Slime-San |OT| Super Slime Boy
- Thread starter jonno394
- Start date
Apologies for the lo-fi OT, had to rush to get this out for today so only had an hour or two.
Don't know how long the game is but here's a rundown of content i know so far.
There are 100 levels each with 4 screens each, so you could say 400 screens. Each screen has an apple to collect, each level has a speed run trophy. There are also boss levels.
There is a large hub town to look around and spend the currency buying cosmetic items (I'm sporting Donald trump style "Presidential Hair" atm) as well where you unlock new playable characters, screen filters, multiplayer arcade games etc
Once you complete the game the ng+ mode remixes the 100 levels creating 400 more screens for you to play through.
There are also other dedicated modes such as one death mode. Can't remember the other 3.
All in all, there is a shit load of content and that's before the Kraken DLC gets patched in for free

Nice OP, very clean
Very interested in this game. I will probably pick it up eventually.

I got this on a humble monthly a bit ago and it was pretty fun. I wanted to go back to it.
Good man, the game is a blast! It's like Super Meat Boy, but then there's a lot more outside of the standard platforming too.

Assuming this is by the same or similar team as SMB? Am I right in that assumption?
I played this on PC for a preview and really loved it and pretty much only stopped playing it because I wanted to wait for it to come out on a handheld. Just bought it on Switch and I look forward to playing through the rest of it!

Not the same team.

You're probably thinking of The End is Nigh.

For those that have played it, is the difficulty as high as Meat Boy, or any easier?
I got really far in Meat Boy, but eventually hit a wall on one of the last worlds. If this is a little more manageable (at least until the NG+ mode) then I think I'll enjoy it quite a bit more.
The added mechanics they seem to add to levels (based on the trailer) looks great and kinda reminds me of VVVVVV, which is another platformer I love.
Wow, that sounds perfect! And I just happen to have $60 in eShop credit.

Pretty excited to get this. Will put some hours into it tonight. Thanks for the OT!
Wholeheartedly agree. Haven't been a fan of the procedural generation trend at all, especially in the realm of platformers.

Only played the first 2 levels and walked around the shopping area but I'm loving this game. A ton of content!

Super Meat Boy with an air dash! Slime Sam almost moves too fast,I've air dashed over where I wanted to land plenty of times. Pro Tip is to hold L to slow down your movement so you can time out those jumps better.

So that little ? icon, does that mean there is something in the stage that I missed? Also, where are the ranking leaderboards?
Any way to adjust the pulsating?
It's the trophy icon.

Huh I was looking at this afternoon thinking it had a Downwell aesthetic. Anyone who likes Downwell has good taste! Will probably bite on this, I'm fiending for a Switch game.

Doesn't the ? icon represent a hidden coin?
The trophy icon is the one next to your time.
Not every level has a coin, even though you can see its faint silhouette on the results screen. You can tell if a level has a coin by looking at the stage's info on the level select screen.
Yeah im pretty certain it's an arcade coin, that symbol doesn't appear every level does it?
As an aside, i love the text in between levels, my alternative title was going to be

Can the bonus arcade games/minigames be played solo or are they multiplayer only?
Ah, yes, I thought it was asking about the Trophy one. But, yeah, the ? is the Arcade coin.

I have not played N++, but I would say it's very similar to Super Meat Boy control wise and shares a lot of mechanics. It's mostly centered around bite-size (single screen) platforming challenges like SMB as well.
I'm pretty sure it's confirmed to be coming to other consoles at a later date.

Game had ridiculous slow down when brought back from sleep.
It even froze and had to be closed out completely. Hope this isn't normal as I play in chunks.

Loving it so far - keep spending my apples on screen filters.
Retro and Virtual Boy filters are great. I actually prefer the retro one to no filter.
Don't know what's up with the LCD filter - makes the game look like garbage, and doesn't look anything like an LCD screen. It looks like there might be something wrong with it actually? (Playing in Switch mode btw)
EDIT: LED, not LCD. Still looks off to me.

Loving, loving, loving the game so far! I'd been waiting for a good pure platformer on the Switch and this is scratching that itch really well. Great price for the content too!
That's because it's not an LCD filter but an LED filter. It's supposed to look like one of those LED billboards

Sorry - that's what I meant. It still looks off to me. It's like the dot pattern is uneven or scaled down improperly to fit the screen... or something.
