G ame Play System

🧃 Juice Power System

  • Mix unique fictional fruits into custom blends.

  • Each fruit provides a core buff (speed, stamina, bounce, etc.).

  • Some blends trigger negative interactions (loss of control, fizz explosions).

  • Encourages experimentation without overwhelming players.

🧗 Movement Mechanics

Slimes can:

  • Wall Hug & Wall Jump

  • Ground Slam (bounceback or breakables)

  • Hover (juice-enabled)

  • Spin/Homing Attack (traversal or rhythm play)

  • Crouch, Bounce, Stretch — with expressive physics-driven animations

🏡 Town Hub

The social hub and player home base, featuring:

  • Mixer Hut – Combine fruits into juices

  • Fruit Garden – Grow fruits for quests/tutorials

  • Quest Board – Procedural quest types (delivery, survival, time trial)

  • Style Pod – Cosmetics-only customization

  • Juice Shrine – Rare fruit collection for endgame unlocks

🎵 Rhythm Bosses

  • Dungeon bosses attack and animate to music.

  • Movement and dodges sync to the beat.

  • Each dungeon has a unique music style and tempo.

  • Some fruits alter beat perception (slower/faster sync).

📦 Monetization

  • 100% free-to-play.

  • Cosmetics only: skins, trails, badges, facial features.
