A 2D top-down game made with PyGame for the GMTK Game Jam 2025, with the "Loop" theme. Given a grid with enemies, you must loop around the enemies in order to defeat them.
You are Lizar the Slime, and Salt monsters are invading your Lair! Move around the map with the WASD keys, leaving a trail of slug behind you. Use your slug to create a loop, encasing salt monsters that are damaging your slug and try to evade you. Creating a loop will kill all enemies inside, with each enemy killed giving you points! You cannot loop with too much salt on the screen, which would essentially render the game OVER.
