Hit one slime and it splits in two. Hit those and they split again. Keep going until the whole arena is wobbling with hundreds of bouncing, popping slimes.

Slime Splitter is a run-based pixel art incremental game you play with just your mouse. Your cursor is a spinning jelly ring that hits every slime under it on its own. Glide it through the crowd, click to smash, and pop everything before the arena overflows. Every pop drops jelly. Spend it between runs to grow stronger, then dive back in and go deeper than before.

■ Pop, split, overflow

Slimes keep spawning, and every hit splits them into smaller pieces. Clear them fast enough to climb step by step through the zone. Let the crowd pile up and the Crowd meter fills. Max it out and the run is over.

■ Grow stronger

Spend five colours of jelly on a 148-node skill tree: more damage, a bigger ring, faster hits, a longer clock, critical hits, chain reactions and more card slots. Unlock 33 cards and build a deck before each run. Some boost your stats, others bring their own attacks: throwing knives, a sniper, chain lightning, spinning axes, a storm cloud, a giant fist from the sky and a rain of fireballs during Fever.

■ Slimes with personality

Meet seven slime species and seven kinds of gear, each with its own trick. Sleepers wake up and split. Puffers keep swelling. Ghosts fade out of reach. Mothers lay babies. Some wear helmets, wings, ninja bands or demon horns, and the shy ones run from your cursor.

■ Bosses and beyond

Every zone ends in a boss fight. Beat 15 bosses across six themed caves, then keep going in an endless mode with even tougher bosses.
