slushier

Increasingly half-frozen

Slushier is the comparative form of slushy—more like slush, the half-melted snow or ice that accumulates on roads and sidewalks in winter.

Streets get slushier as temperatures rise above freezing.

The word extends to anything with that wet, semi-solid consistency: The margaritas got slushier as the ice melted.

Figuratively, slushier describes something more sentimentally excessive: Each sequel gets slushier than the last.
