A Slime's Test for Intelligence
A Slime's Test for Intelligence
Can an amorphous slime solve puzzles? Scientists seek to answer this question with a series of 22 problem-solving chambers. Use your squishy body to uncover the clever insights in each level and prove the capabilities of the humble slime.

Can someone help me with 1-6? How am I meant to get the box 1 space to the right of the player and then get it to the furthest-right?
Hint 1: You collect the left yellow before the right one.
Hint 2: You need to clear the way on the right so before you deal the left hand side of the screen.
Answer in picture below.

Thank you! Just a tip, put potential spoilers (like hints and solutions) in rot13, I use New tab for it, but there are other sites too.
Also now I'm stuck on 2-6 :(
Never mind I did it.
Ok but 3-3 just make no sense.
2-4 is where I clicked away, as a singular datapoint for where the tutorialization/frustration/payoff curve is. I know I needed a double stack on the left and to do that I needed to push a block left from on top of the center blue, but the movement pattern wasn't immediately obvious. The slime's movement is the central mechanic, but I felt more like I was fighting it than vibing with it up prior to this point.
Love this game! I was excited to see it pop up in my feed because I thought there were new levels. No such luck, but I enjoyed playing it through again.
I was actually reuploading the game to fix the lag that slowed down all animations (caused by the version of Pattern:Script it was originally exported from, I think). Hopefully it ran well!
Yup, ran great!
either its laggy or its too slow

damn.. how long did this take you?
really fun! just came from pocket mouse and i like this game too :)
no level select makes me a bit unhappy though
suddenly getting extreme lag in this game
Might be related to scaling in chromium?
Opened on Edge at high DPI, it goes down to frame-by-frame after 1-2 levels
Opened in a lower screen resolution it runs fine, and takes a while to slow if the res is changed back after loading.
Doesn't seem to occur in Firefox.
Need to return to work on my own project, but I look forward to continuing the journey with the slime. The animations are REALLY smooth (by regular game standards and especially puzzlescript standards) and the puzzles are really well designed too!
love the intro text, made me laugh. animations are also incredible! nice work
damn.. how long did this take you?
Really impressive!
Super Cool!
Nice game
Nice game idea. Easy to learn, hard to master. :+1:
Really good game, there were a lot of head-scratchers!
Thanks for posting this video. I frequently get to test his games before publication, and usually need some hints from him. You've done an impressive job of working through the game.
aw, thank you :)
I feel surprised that I have not seen this yet, given that I watch your videos and am currently enjoying this game.
epiku
Very fun and satisfying!
