Slime Chant
Read full descriptionHide full description
Enchant. Flood. Conquer. A grid full of colorful slimes stands between you and victory. Pick your color, cast your chant — and watch your territory surge outward, swallowing every adjacent slime of the same hue in one glorious cascade. Chain the right sequence and you can flip half the board in a handful of moves. Get it wrong and your opponent (or the clock) will. Slime Chant is a territory-expansion puzzle game that's easy to pick up and deeply satisfying to master.
