Evaluation
Dark Water: Slime Invader launched on March 18, 2021 as a complete, self-contained action platformer with 46 designed levels and a full suite of mechanics. The developer's last communication was the launch announcement on March 17, 2021, which mentioned they would "try their best to develop into a better game" in response to player feedback — a vague, non-committal statement rather than a concrete commitment to future content. There have been no subsequent news posts, patch notes, DLC announcements, or developer communications of any kind since launch. No DLC has been listed on the store. The game's store description presents a finished, fully-featured product with no mention of planned additions. With no post-launch updates ever delivered and no announced content pipeline, the game launched as a finished product and remains in that state.

About this game
The peaceful atmosphere of the village is suddenly shattered by the massive invasion of the cursed Slimes. A maiden with a bow and arrow and her grandmother must save the village by themselves... What lies behind the Slimes, the Deadly Trap, and the mysterious items?
Fast-paced action platformer game
Dark water brings unique gameplay and graphics. Balance a fast-paced experience with the appropriate level of difficulty. The game offers 46 skillfully designed levels with three different levels of difficulty, giving the game the feel of an action game without compromising its challenges.
Multi-skill combination Dual-character switching
Use a bow and arrow to achieve normal attacks, explosive attacks, bullet times, and more. Defeating the invading Slimes requires maneuvering to avoid deadly traps. More than a dozen different skill combinations will bring different kinds of fun.
As the game progresses, The Maiden will have a white hair mode, under which she will have teleporting skills, greatly enhancing the feel of the game.
At certain points, the player can also play the grandmother, which is a completely different experience.
A bright and unique art style
Rich color and lively style, let players find something new and refreshing. The design of character style, the environment, and even the performance of water all show the dedication of Dark Water in art.
- The controller is recommended.
