The player assumes the role of a slime in slime village. The standard “Kick Down Door, Kill Monster, Take Treasure, repeat” game formula will be used.The Slime King will allow the player to choices, whether to save the people who he defeats, or to murder the people he defeats. If the player chooses to save people, the morally correct choice, they will be treated to a rescue the princess level, and the good ending. If the player chooses the morally incorrect path he will become king, and destroyall humans.The user interface consists for one action button and the keypad. The keypad moves the player around, and the space bar acts as an action button, that allows the user to select an action. All menus either have a way to cancel, or one of the choices must be made. Exiting the game still requires the escape key.Game MechanicsCamera PositionThe Camera will be positioned top down, with the level center around the player. RPG ElementsSlimes absorb metals to gain new skills. In this game, there are four kinds of metals, Gold, Silver, Copper, and Iron. Each one is needed for a different action. Collecting (absorbing) enough gold increases attack, while absorbing copper increases defense. Iron and Silver are spell components, for healing and Triple attacking, respectively. Below are the exact methods of how each of these game objects work.Leveling up.Leveling up, unlike most RPGs, is just attacking and defense, no other skills are gained on each level, and attacking and defense are separate, i.e., you can level up attacking several times before you level up defense. Gold is related to attacking, and copper is related to defense. To level up, you must gain fifty times your level of the material assigned for that statistic. For example, if you have a five in attack, you must gain 50*5 or 250 gold pieces before you reach the next level in attack, and likewise for defense. 4Hit PointsThe Player starts out with ten hit points, and this value stay the same throughout the entire game. To take more damage, the player can increase his defense rating, which is described below.AttackingUnlike most RPG games, attacking always succeeds. To determine the amount of damage you do to a monster, you must use the chart below. Where + is plus, and – is a range between two numbers, i.e 1- 3 is a random number between one and threeLevel Attack1 1 + 1-3 + 1-32 2
