Level 5
Surf level. Reach 21 points in 48 seconds. Difficulty: Relaxed.
Level 5 is a Surf level in Zone 1. You need 21 points before the 48-second timer runs out, which works out to 0.44 points per second.
New here: Explosive Slime appears for the first time. The Slime Discovery panel opens the first time you meet it.

Slime mix
Each spawn picks one of these slimes at random using these odds:
| Slime | Chance | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | 67.6% | 1 |
| Poison | 12.2% | 0 (−3 s) |
| Money | 8.1% | 0 (+5 coins) |
| Extra Time | 5.4% | 0 (+2 s) |
| Explosive | 6.8% | 3 |
How hard is it?
About 49 slimes spawn over the full timer. Popping every good slime once would give roughly 43 points, so the target asks for about 49% of that. Difficulty rating: Relaxed.
You can afford to miss some slimes, so use the spare time to practice avoiding bad slimes.
Tips
- Slimes enter from the right and slide left at a base speed of 250, with random speed and wave motion. They speed up by up to 35% as the timer runs down. A good slime that leaves the screen costs you 3 seconds and breaks your combo. See Surf Mode.
- Pet passives that depend on slimes expiring, such as Bones, do nothing here because surf slimes never time out.
- Poison slimes are bad slimes: tapping one costs 3 seconds. Leave them alone, or use Purify.
- Money slimes score nothing but add 5 coins each to the level total, paid when you win.
- Always tap Extra Time slimes. Two seconds is about two and a half extra spawns here.
Rewards and unlocks
- Winning pays 70 coins, plus any coins collected from Money slimes during the run.
