The project
Project Overview
Every tap has a price.
Slimey's Adventure takes the tap-to-fly formula and adds a twist. Each tap lifts Slimey through obstacles and enemies, and each tap also drains a flight meter. Collect time pickups and you keep flying. Ignore them and the run ends early.
That one resource changes how players think. Instead of tapping on reflex, they plan routes around pickups and power-ups. We wrapped it in a retro art style and multiple levels that keep the challenge climbing.

Challenges and Solutions
A fresh take on tap-to-fly
The genre is crowded with near-identical games.
Add a flight meter that drains with every tap so each touch becomes a decision.
Risk and reward
Pickups mean nothing if they are always safe to grab.
Place time pickups and power-ups near hazards so players weigh every route.
Retro with personality
Pixel styles can look generic.
Give Slimey a strong silhouette and bold retro color so the character stands out.
