Immerse your eyeballs in Slime
Jeux France has posted a further six shots of forthcoming LocoRoco/World of Goo-style platformer Mister Slime. The aim of the game is straightforward enough: negotiate environments by clinging onto strategically placed dots with Mister Slime's four Stretch Armstrong-esque limbs. You'll also be able to blow on the microphone and propel our globular hero through the air, or help him breathe under water.Incidentally, it looks as though Lexis Numérique's quirky title could be one of those rare beasts: a game Europe gets before the U.S. GameStop now says Mister Slime will release stateside on May 20th (a revision from its earlier listing of April 1st), while Jeux France maintains the title will spill over Europe on April 4th.%Gallery-17549%
Mr. Slime to ooze from U.S. store shelves this April
As if there wasn't already a broad selection of ace platformers on the DS, there could be another on the way soon. To date, South Peak Interactive's Mr. Slime has only received a release in Germany, but this inventive little platform game looks to be heading for North America also, after GameStop listed it for a release on April 1st.In the title, players negotiate levels by grabbing and stretching the eponymous hero's arms, so that he can grab onto conveniently placed dots that litter the environments. The above video made us feel warm and fuzzy for three reasons: Mr. Slime seems to be quite like a combination of Lemmings and LocoRoco. Plainly, this game would only be possible on the DS. History shows that blob-centric games almost always = win. Just look at the evidence. A Boy and His Blob? de Blob? The aforementioned LocoRoco? Win, win, win. [Via Siliconera]
