Presented in the first person, players will explore the wild, capture a variety of strange wild slimes, and then put them into the ranch to raise, the slime production of "poop crystals ( plort) is the only way to get rich.
The game is mainly based on business breeding, but there is no specific goal to force the player to carry out, it is to purely raise a batch of ornamental cute slimes, or to study various feeding strategies to increase profits, for example, feeding slime favorite feed to improve production efficiency; conducting slime mix experiments to breed new varieties; or growing their own food to feed slimes self-sufficiency, and so on.

Pick up the vacuum gun and subdue the slimes
As a slime farm operator, going out to catch wild slimes and collecting various resources is a common thing, the protagonist holds a universal vacuum gun, can "absorb", "shoot" a variety of small objects, whether it is pheasants, fruits, small slimes, crystals, etc., vacuum guns are like four-dimensional pockets can contain a large number of items and creatures, see the favorite slimes can all be sucked in. Of course, it is still easy to fill up after a random suck.
Wild hunting is not so simple, some slimes are aggressive, but in the capture of caution, and wild slimes often cross-breed and multiply on their own, large slimes can not be sucked into the vacuum gun, purebred small slimes want to catch a large number of but to be quick. Some wild slimes will even turn into demon slimes after eating randomly, swallowing other slimes to multiply and split, and even attacking the player.
Run your farm and stuff it with all kinds of slimes!
After capturing slimes from the wild, of course, they are placed on a well-planned farm to raise them. Players can build various facilities in the farm, build fences to keep slimes in captivity, build farmland to grow crops, build hatcheries to raise chickens, build ponds to raise aquatic slimes, etc. Players can decide the farm plan according to their own business style. Different types of slimes have different habits and preferences for food, and players will need to develop captivity strategies accordingly, using raised walls to prevent active slimes from escaping, and giving preferred foods can double the productivity.
The ultimate goal of raising slimes is to harvest the crystals (poop?) of their production. The crystals produced by different kinds of slimes also have different market prices, and the slimes that produce high-priced crystals are usually more troublesome in breeding, and a large number of single crystals are also easy to make their prices collapse, so how to adjust the farm's business strategy is to test the wisdom of the player, and it is also one of the main pleasures of the game.
Breed in a mix and build your new breed of slime
The most common pink slimes can be said to be everywhere, and the crystals they produce are also the least valuable, raising high-value slimes will be the main direction of play, and different types of slimes will have different habits and breeding conditions, the more expensive slimes are raised, the more troublesome it is to raise, for example, some very overactive, can not put too much in the same fence, otherwise they will stack arhats to run out; or some are nocturnal, can only survive at night, you must add a daylight shield to the optical fence There is also a kind of explosion from time to time, often blowing each other up and popping up the fence, and it is also easy to injure the player.
In addition to raising purebred small slimes, the game's creative point is that it can also be mixed, breeding large hybrid slimes with double production, as long as the crystals produced by the slimes are fed to other types of slimes. Hybrid slimes will produce two crystals at a time, and the favorite food will also be retained, and the player can mix carnivorous slimes with herbivorous slimes, which can be fed with cheap fruits and vegetables, greatly increasing efficiency.
But the breeding conditions will also be inherited, and it is also quite a headache to create a slime that is afraid of light and explodes at the same time. After mixing, the volume will also become very large, making it easier for narrow fences to be broken, and it is a matter of opinion whether it is good or bad.
Upgrade your farm and characters and raise a handful of businesses
In the face of increasingly tricky slime breeding, the player's farm can also be gradually upgraded, the money earned through the sale of crystals, can be reinvested in farm equipment upgrades, in addition to increasing the fence, adding top protective nets, but also can be equipped with automatic feeders, automatic collection crystallization devices, for overactive slimes can also be installed music boxes to reduce their activity.
Farmland and pastures can also be upgraded to increase productivity or prevent wild slime harassment. Protagonist abilities can also be enhanced by purchasing upgrade accessories, increasing health to fight aggressive slimes, enhancing endurance to run longer, purchasing jetpacks to overcome terrain obstacles, and more. It is also important to enhance your adventurous abilities when exploring more distant regions to catch new breeds.
