A small slime. A world drained of color. Three stolen spirits.

Dark creatures have stolen the light of the forest spirits, and the world faded to gray. Guide a brave little slime across frozen peaks, wild jungles and burning lands, rescue the spirit fragments and bring them back to the ancient lanterns. With every lantern you light, the color slowly returns to the world.

Very cute qnd polishe

Thank you so much! 💜 That means a lot. I've kept working on it after the jam and just released a new preview version: new art, a little slime hero, music and a whole new color-restoring mechanic. Would love to know what you think if you give it a try!

simple but it was neat to play

Thanks for playing! The jam version was pretty simple, so I've been expanding it a lot since then: new mechanics, enemies, music and a world that slowly gets its colors back. The new preview is up on the page now, I'd be happy if you checked it out!
