Plot

The eponymous main character must protect the Slime Village from the evil enemy Axons.^[1]

Gameplay

The stylus is used to pull Mister Slime's four elastic arms to different anchor points spread throughout the levels. On top of that, players are able to send Mister Slime flying on a gust of wind and provide him air bubbles underwater.^[2] Both functions are executed by the player blowing into the system's built-in microphone.^[3]

The presentation is comparable to LocoRoco or World of Goo with physics that feature and bouncing characters. Also similar to both games is the characteristic elasticity playing an important role in the core gameplay.^[2]
