Gun Slime
Gun Slime is a 2D Platformer featuring a Slime...
...with a gun.
Traverse through 16 Levels across 4 areas, using your trusty Pistol for an extra jump. Reload by touching the ground, bouncing off a mushroom, or catching a bullet mid-air.
While exploring the 4 areas, you may encounter dangerous obstacles, from spikes to lava and even falling rocks. Lava will give you a boost of speed upwards, but will disable your gun until you touch the ground again. Landing in Lava again before touching the ground will be fatal. Touching spikes or falling rocks will also be fatal.
Can you successfully navigate these obstacles and reach the top of Mt.Combustion?

i wanna know how to change the keybinds, arrow keys is really weird for me
Hey! Sorry but as the game was made in Pico-8, there is unfortunately no way to change the key binds. Sorry for the inconvenience

Those are some really good times, well done!
i just love this game :D even if u can chesse a lot of parts of the levels with the gun (don´t trying to say like in a bad form) this game is hilarious and for that this game and the creator have my golden medal of amazingness and awesomeness because im the coolest dude B)
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you liked my game~
@HarFrog, do i have permission to submit your game to speedrun.com, which means that i will be made a moderator for the game on the site, and therefore control the runs that are allowed onto the website?
I will give you full credit for the game in the description
That would be awesome! Go ahead~
Thanks :p
I have submitted the game to speedrun.com, just need to wait and see if it gets verified, i just used a casual run for the verification run, i didn't do it too quickly, i think it was like 8 minutes or something (i cant even remember what the time was even though it was just yesterday)
Great! Let me know if/when it gets verified. Might have to submit a few runs myself 👀
It's been verified! Here's the link to the speedrun.com: Gun Slime (itch.io) - speedrun.com
(The page is a wip, i need to finish some small things, like a banner and an icon for the game)
if you ever need another moderator for the game I'm open
Rimuru Tempest in a nutshell :-)
Gun Slime (Full Game)
Great job!
This game is awesome and super fun to try and speedrun!
Just cleared my first attempt at timed mode and got 9:01! I'm totally gonna try and improve on that time!
Also sometimes when you have alot of upward speed from anything, you can stick yourself into a wall by running into one.
okay I found two other weird things you can do
1. If you die on around the same frame as you hit a bullet, you'll bounce as if you hit a bullet once you respawn
2. If you jump and get hit by a bullet at the same time you gain a TON of height and speed
Finished my second attempt at timed mode with a 7:55, if i can manage to stop dying in a few places i could do even better!!
My third attempt at timed mode has landed me with a 4:53, still just a few less deaths and it'll be near perfect.
Wow, congrats on such great runs! 4:53 is the by far the best time I've seen so far, and I'm glad you're enjoying my game enough to speed run it.
As for the glitches you found, I'll try and get them fixed for the next update. Thank you for your feedback, and good luck with your future runs!
Just finished my most recent run with a solid 3:54!
this game reminds me of Celeste, good game!
11:59 is my best. This was GREAT!!!!!!! I didnt find any secret zones, so i hope there arent any LOL
just went again, and got 9:10!
oh there was a bug that took away at least 1 min btw. i kept glitching into the wall blocks
Oh, that's not good. Do you know what you did to get into the wall? Did it involve the bouncy Mushrooms?
when bouncing off a mushroom vertically it gives me a lot of speed, and if i move into a wall horizontally during that big speed i can get into the wall a bit. I think thats what it it. can also happen right after shooting a bullet i think
It's so cute! Never seen a gun used that way in that type of game! The only thing is i find that CUNPOWSER CAVE - 3 is so hard
Such a cute game! I love how the slime squeezes his eyes shut as he comes down from a fall. The level design is pretty solid, I feel like you could beat the levels rather quickly once you get the rhythm of things.
very good game, impeccable level design, the problem is that there is a bug that you get into the mushrooms I couldn't finish the game because of that, fix it and the game will be perfect ;)
Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it! Glad you enjoyed the game aside from that.
Beat it. This was really fun and challenging! the gun mechanic was really unique, and was very satisfying to pull off when you get the hang of it! Those meteors were something else lol
Hi, I've made a short video about the game :) and I wanted to give you some feedback that hopefully helps you :D
-The visual style is good and well thought as it really fits the theme and kind of game.-The game difficulty is pretty well balanced, it was really fun to play as it was always challenging but never too hard to make me want to give up.
-The gameplay mechanics, especially the ones related to the use of the gun, are really good and very well implemented with the level design.
-I wish there was a longer version of the game with a short and funny story because I think that It could be very awesome :D
In conclusion, the idea is great and I hope you keep working on making games. Hopefully this is useful for you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)
Regards
Had to stop at Deagle Dreamland 2 as I couldn't make it.
Really cool game 👍
good game but had to give up at the combustion levels , they are too hard . also i would make it an auto restart after a death , having to press x again and again is annoying - especially when you will die a lot figuring out what to do !
Thank you so much for your Feedback!
I've now implemented auto respawning into the game and have reduced the spawn rate of the falling rocks in Mt.Combustion.
much better now , finished it ! great game ...
