WHAT WE’RE PLAYING

Go for the goo in Slime Rancher

This indie adventure oozes with charm.

How many slimes can you find in the alien world of Slime Rancher? Track down every critter in an out-of-this-galaxy expedition loaded with heaps of gelatinous fun.


Slimes bouncing all over the ranch? Round ’em up and upgrade those corrals!

The goo is loose

Our hero, Beatrix LeBeau, is a thousand light-years from Earth on an empty homestead with little more than a vacpack and a dream. Time to spruce this place up!

Vacuum up the adorable slimes roaming the Far, Far Range, bring them to your ranch and feed ’em so they produce “plorts” you can sell at the market. As your slime empire grows, you’ll find all kinds of nifty ways to upgrade your gear – and your new home.


Mind your slimes

Not all slimes are created equal! Pink Slimes are docile, while dangerous Boom and Feral Slimes can have you on the run. Others spit up valuable items, so search high and low for every gooey goodie. And getting by will take more than one pen of these odd creatures. Scoop up resources to add silos, gardens, chickadoo coops and other structures that’ll keep the plorts rolling in.


Add a little Ancient Water and boom – instant oasis.

Expand your ranch

This extraterrestrial quest grows with you. As you unlock new areas, you’ll explore ruins, dive into caves and discover new species. And you can customise the experience to match your stress level. Casual Mode removes pesky Tarr Slimes, while Rush Mode challenges you to rake in funds as quickly as possible.

Slime Rancher’s iPhone and iPad debut plays like a charm with smooth touch controls and controller support. Plus, your progress gets saved when you play across devices.


Know before you go

Pink Slimes are a rancher’s best friend. They’re easy to capture, won’t hurt you and will eat pretty much anything, making them a reliable producer of plorts. Just be sure to install high walls on their corrals or they might bounce away!
