Genesis ScreenshotsLynx ScreenshotsGame's title screen. Note that the "slime" portion of the text keeps oozing and squishing. It is also transparent! You can select one of 6 different levels. Each level features some unique twist on the core gameplay. At the beginning of some of the levels your ship is shown crash-landing on the surface of the slimeworld in a showcase of Lynx' sprite displaying power. In addition to several layers of parallax, the surface of the planet features a whole bunch of sprite scaling. The game has to be seen to be believed - every piece of the terrain and the background constantly moves in an oozing, stretching motion. Pits filled with water serve to cleanse the player from clumps of corrosive slime that explode from defeated enemies These centipedes are fast and deadly. You have to time your run through this room in order not to die. Certain portions of the maze can only be passed using collected powerup objects, such as Slime Shield, and Jet Pack. Some levels feature impressive background animations and parallax, others, such as this one prefer to annoy the player with flashing background color. The player character has a pretty wide range of animations. Such as wall-climbing and different gun-aiming angles. While the game presents the player with infinite number of lives, it is still possible to lose in some missions by failing certain conditions. There are various terrain kinds presented in later missions. This floor is very slippery, while some others might half your moving speed. The game features a short password feature which would restore your position in the game with surprising precision. The Computer Map feature in Slime World is less than particularly useful. Not only does it show only a tiny part of the maze around you, but the game doesn't pause when it is displayed. | ||
