'Slimyer'

[X1 / X68000] [JAPAN] [MAGAZINE] [1990]

"Three distinct species of slimes have suddenly erupted into conflict. To restore balance to the slime ecosystem, a lone warrior has risen to the challenge (sort of). This is a strategic puzzle game where you must utilize the slimes' rock-paper-scissors-style hierarchy to eliminate all but those of a specific, designated color. You'll guide the slimes using blocks and multiply them with potions; however, unless you carefully consider the effects of each potion—and the precise order in which to use them—clearing all 100 stages will be no easy feat. Incidentally, an X1 version of the game is also scheduled for release by Takeru." ~Oh!X (Vol. 9 #06, June 1990) [BMT🤖]

Using circuit boards as material, Dion confronts the sprawl of human industry and its effects on people, often by creating work that recalls environmental destruction through the materials of waste, often through the language of textile design.

Wally Dion's work was also featured in a national geographic special issue on Indigenous futures. Here is the link to all the essays in the issue, which you can read with a paywall remover (try option 2).
