About the game

Melt Down is a slime racing game where you are on a clock to reach the finish line. You are melting: small is fast, big is slow, and you have to finish the race before you turn into a puddle. Dodge hazards, fight off your rival slimes with powerups, and finish before you perish.

Original Steam description

FINISH BEFORE YOU PERISH

Melt Down is a slime racing game where your body is the clock. From the moment the race starts, you are melting. Melt all the way and you're a puddle.

The twist: the smaller you get, the faster you go. A big slime is safe but slow. A tiny slime is quick, but is one bad hit from a puddle. Every race is a balance between speed and rationing your size.

FEATURES

  • Melt-as-countdown racing: you get smaller as time passes, and you need to finish the race before you turn into a puddle.

  • All hand-built tracks with different biomes. You will face hazards and get to pick up various powers and snacks as you race your rival slimes.

  • Hazards and rival slimes will mess with you. Some slow you down, some melt you faster with their powers.

  • Two kinds of pickups.

    • Power pickups give you a one-time power: a jump, a fire bomb to throw, or an icicle to slow your rivals down. Hit them back!

    • Snack pickups keep you from turning into a puddle before the finish line. But every snack makes you bigger, and bigger is slower. So you have to balance getting bigger and smaller.

  • You can play this with either a keyboard or a gamepad. Both are fully rebindable.

  • Hope you enjoy the game and it makes you smile.
