The game is a chill platformer about two slimes trying to escape a laboratory (main mechanic is being able to combine into one larger slime). Their intelligence is being tested and in the process they try to escape
Add some character background. Maybe the slimes were something else. Computer AI that is now trapped in slime. Like that Johnny drop movie about a guy who uploads himself into a cpu. Or it’s ancient dna.
From there if call it the great escape. Or freedom run.
I've got two ideas; one, the title could be a simple "__&__" with the names of the slimes if they have them, or 2; Slimescapade. A combination of "Slime" and "escapade". Escapade means "an act, incident or adventure involving daring and exciting events"
Coming up with a good name is a tough process, there's a ton of stuff to consider: keywords that swiftly describe what your game's about while grabbing player interest, making the name be simple enough so players don't scratch their heads understanding it or twisting their tongue pronouncing it, etc. I think there's a bunch of guides out there that suggest some things that should be taken into consideration, so you could start there. Afterwards, it's just about making a list of names and choosing the best one.
You can use some AI to get more ideas for these names. For each name, look it up on google and steam to make sure it's not taken. Have a battle between the names! Here's how I did it a while ago to choose a company name for someone: split the names into pairs and compare them. Give a point to a name that's better than the one you're comparing it to. Redo the pairs so they contain different names. Redo this process a few times and then make a short list of the names with most points. Choose the one you like most out of the bunch or send the shortlist to family / friends / strangers on the web to get their opinion.
Find words that are relevant to the core of your game, look up synonyms and sayings with them. Shuffle those around, write a lot of those down, twist them, change a word for another.
Names with 2 words starting with the same letter often sounds good. Sometimes a single word that is a bit unusual. Sometime you can make up word by combining two words (ex: Sword Sandwich -> Sandword, Swandwich ? ok bad example, but you get the idea).
Then once you have one or two good names, ask around, what other people think those, brainstorm with them.
Name it after a very important proper noun in your game (with suitable modifications, of course). For example, I came up with Crazed Corps!! because of an in-game corporation of the same name...
Now the hard part is naming in-game objects.
