This game is a direct sequel to TrailOfSlimer 1.  This game introduces multiple levels (19 to be exact) and other features.

How to play:

Use arrows or wasd to control the slimer and absorb the food.  If you can absorb all of the food then you win!  

'r' to restart

many other keys pause.

Hint: If you want to know how to skip levels look in the Installation instructions after you click the download button.

Background:

This took some doing to get working.  I programmed this in 16 bit real mode using Borland C++ entirely in DOSBox.  It only uses BIOS interrupts.  its only 4,866bytes and that is including the extra junk Borland put in there.

Future:

It needs more levels and many other bits of polish.  Perhaps they will come soon.

How to get it running:

This game runs in DOSBox, Boxer, or on real PC MS-DOS hardware. 

On Mac:

1. Drag the `.com` file onto the `Boxer app`.  It should start.  Thats it.

Alternately:

1. Download and Open DOSBox

2. type `mount c ./` to mount the current folder (or whatever folder the .COM file is in)

3. type `c:` to go to that folder

4. type `slimer2` to run the game

If that doesn't work here are some instructions about getting DOSBox working on Mac

On other Modern Computers:

Use the .COM file from the zip.  The process should be similar to Mac but possibly you can drag the game (the .COM file) into the DOSBox window or onto the icon and it will work right away.  That didnt work for me but if not here are some more instructions about getting DOSBox working on Windows

On Old Computers:

Or for the adventurous and enterprising MS-DOS users out there the .COM file should run in any version of DOS on ancient computers even as far back as 286's and before.    I haven't and cant test it on an old machine but please let me know what you find out if you do.
