In Slime King: Origins, you are what you eat... literally! Level up your skills as you consume items. Choose the path that will make you the king you want to be!

This is a project I made in November 2024 for the Level Up RPG Game Jam. We were given 7 skills and an XP progression table. 

Information on the 7 skills in game are "progression locked", which means that you unlock information on how skills progress the further down the skill you go. However, for the sake of the game jam, I've provided information with what the level up tree looks like at the very end of this description. Avoid if you don't want spoilers!

I am quite proud of what I managed to get done by myself in a month. Please check out the Read Me file for credits for the sound effects, which I found online. Everything else was made by me. 

As it is a project I made in a month by myself, it still has some pending bugs. No bugs should prevent you from completing the game. If you get stuck for whatever reason, press the "restart level" button in the pause menu!

(If any bugs prevent you from finishing the game, please let me know!)
