Slime Stampede: a runner powered by typing

The work: 4 October 2026 · Written 1 November 2026 · Entry 11 of 17

The second game arrived on 4 October 2026: Slime Stampede. You run along a dirt road with a stampede of slimes close behind you. The game has no buttons for running. You run by typing.

The rules

• Type the word over the monster ahead to clear it. Every correct letter is a burst of speed.
• A typo makes you stumble, so careful typing beats fast typing.
• Pick up items at the roadside by typing their names: flare pushes the slimes back, boots make you faster, shield smashes the next blocker, and splat splashes goo on the runners behind you.
• When a brute blocks the road, you type a whole sentence, spaces included, to smash through.

Why it is different from Zombie Shooter

In Zombie Shooter the danger comes to you from all sides, and you choose which zombie to type. In Slime Stampede the road has one direction, and the pressure is time: the slimes never stop, and they speed up the longer you run. Every run ends, and the question is how far you got.

Built for phones

Slime Stampede was designed for a phone from the start. Its screen is tall, its status appears as banners above and below, and its start screen asks you to tap or press any key. It later moved onto the shared platform described in the next entry.

Distance and ranks

The run is measured in metres, and a banner appears at every milestone of 250 metres. At the end the result screen shows your distance, a rank title such as Runner, your speed and your best combo, with buttons to play again or share the run.
