Slime Pizza is a platform game developed by Neutronized and published by Nitrome. The game was released on January 24th, 2018, on the Apple App Store and January 25th, 2018 on Google Play. It centres around a slime delivery boy who traverses a laboratory after crash landing on a planet.
Controls[edit | edit source]
- Swipe the screen - Fling the slime
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
The player controls a green slime by flinging it towards a surface by use of a slingshot-like mechanic. To do so, the player must hold down their finger on the screen and drag it in the opposite direction they want the slime to move. A dotted line appears when the player holds and drags, showing the slime's line of trajectory if the player were to release their finger at that moment. The slime will stick to any plain surface it lands on, including the on walls and ceiling.
Different areas can be accessed by going through yellow doors. After traversing through a few areas, the player then encounters a save room, where they can activate a checkpoint for the cost of some pizza slices.
Laboratories[edit | edit source]
In the game, there are seven so-called laboratories. Each laboratory has its own colour palette, hazards, enemies and features. They can be accessed anytime through the checkpoints you have unlocked. Excluding slime's ship and the tutorial area, the rest are laboratories.
Labroatory areas are connected by yellow doors. Each themed area also has smaller subareas with specific names, displayed on the pause screen. These areas also are distinguished by their checkpoints.
On the checkpoint selection screen, the pizza slice counter determines the number of slices that can be collected before the player reaches the checkpoint.

Glitches[edit | edit source]
- If the player goes through a grey platform from the bottom, the slime can sometimes get stuck, with a part of its body still sticking through the other side of the platform. This makes it impossible for the player to fling the slime upwards, though the slime will revert back to its normal state upon entering another room.
