You are a liquid-simulated slime where every move costs you a piece of yourself. To reach The Melty Way, you must master slime physics and constantly rebalance your mass, sacrificing resilience for agility and back again.
Your body is your only resource. Every pixel you move is a pixel left behind.
Shrink to squeeze through tight tunnels and gain explosive speed to clear impossible gaps.
Grow to gain the weight needed to manipulate the environment and survive punishing hazards.
Masocore challenges where success means “Mastering the Melt” and executing pixel-perfect precision across levels designed to push your reflexes, AND your mind, to the limit.
Discover new mechanics on your journey that reshape how each trial is overcome. From movement to environmental interactions, every biome introduces new challenges to master. Progress is only made through mastery of every new system.
Intelligent interactions shape every level and hasty decisions can have disastrous consequences. Objects and hazards react dynamically to your actions, forcing you to observe, experiment, and adapt. Success comes from assessing the situation and using your big beautiful brain to stay alive.
Explore 6 distinct worlds where the environment is as beautiful as it is deadly. Each biome introduces new mechanics that you’ll need to master to overcome the dangers that lie ahead.
Your survival doesn’t have to be colorless. Uncover secret paths and hidden challenges to unlock unique slime colors and skins. Prove your mastery by reclaiming your form in style.
