Slime & Shell

Goober is a slime snail. Shellby is a shell snail. Neither of them can get out of this dungeon alone.

Slime & Shell is a two-player co-op puzzle crawl where every room needs both of you. Hold doors open for each other, dissolve salt, bowl through walls, light up the dark, and take down a very hungry bird.

📱 Your phones are the controllers

Scan the QR code on the title screen and your phone becomes a gamepad, with a thumbstick, big buttons and vibration when you get hit (Android). No app, no install. You can also share one keyboard or plug in two gamepads, and mix any of them.

Playing solo? You can steer both snails on one keyboard, one hand each: WASD for Goober, arrow keys for Shellby. It's a fun brain-twister.

Two snails, very different talents

• Goober shoots slime that dissolves salt, lights lanterns and leaves slippery puddles. A Glow Pulse stuns critters and lights up dark caves.
• Shellby Shell-Dashes through cracked walls and critters, and hides to become heavy enough for pressure plates and tough enough to bounce shots back.
• SLIME-SHELL COMBO: when Shellby dashes through Goober's slime, it becomes a super dash that smashes metal walls.
• Stay close and you slowly heal each other. Get knocked out and your partner can revive you.

Five chapters

Notes

• Phone play needs an internet connection. Phones join the game through PeerJS's free matchmaking service, then talk to it directly.
• iPhones don't support vibration in the browser, so they flash red instead.
• Offline / LAN version: download the zip below, run node server.js, and phones connect over your own Wi-Fi.
