Slide: Platformer

About

Slide Platformer is a tough indie game with a control system that flips traditional platforming. Instead of standard movement you use a sliding mechanic that demands timing and precision. Levels are tight and packed with deadly traps and tricky jumps. You'll die a lot, probably more than you'd admit, which is part of the challenge. The learning curve is steep and forgiveness is scarce. The games relentless difficulty and minimal guidance have split players. Some praise its purity and satisfaction after mastering levels. Others call it frustrating. Released in 2015 it's a short but intense ride for those who enjoy punishing platformers. The control scheme is polarizing but central to the experience.
