Hi! Great job on your game. I love the tileset, player art, game music, and enemy graphics. Really cohesive and enjoyable art style going on here.
I found that it was really satisfying expanding my slime to fill out the maze floor, and the maze generation and "fog of war" implementation was really solid.
As for critique, the gameplay is not challenging, so most of the enjoyment is just going through the motions of expanding your slime throughout the floor and wiping out janitors. I think there is missing a critical conflict that would make expanding something that doesn't overpower the challenge.
I also noticed there was a "hit" but I wasn't sure how to do it, and the only time I tried to use it, I died. Also, since the gameplay lasts quite a long time, but you die as soon as you get hit, you can die by accidentally hitting an enemy after carefully etching out the maze, which is a bit frustrating. Having 2 or 3 lives, but making the game a bit more challenging, might be a nice adjustment.
It's cool that when you land outside of the slime area you move slower, cannot expand, and are more vulnerable. It would be cool to see this utilized more.
On web it looks like the scroll wheel is registering too many inputs, and bugs the game out. I believe this is due to my particular mouse design which offers "smooth scrolling" there must be a standard approach to fixing that issue for smooth scroll mouse users, but that's an edge case bug for you.
For accessibility, I feel like since I'm using the "E" key constantly, I wish it could be mapped to another button so i could use movement on one hand, and expanding on my other hand.
Anyway, really excellent job, you should be proud.
Had a good time playing and enjoyed to soundtrack. I only had an issue with the map generation, but once I reloaded twice, I got the full experience. Pretty good hard work was put into it, props
