How does your game represent "Slick"?
The main mechanic is a slick, satisfying slide of shapes. Also, I made all of the sprites and the background texture from my daughter's play-doh, which I think made this project look pretty slick.

Speedrunning the tutorial by cosplaying as Dunkey is my new favorite game mechanic.
This game is immaculate by the way. Visually and auditorialaityly (audio) this game is basically unmatched. I also love the gameplay, might be my favorite match-3 game since Huniepop (I just play it for the puzzles I swear to god)
Great job here! Might be my favorite solo effort of the entire jam :)
wow!!! Thank you so much for the kind words! It was such a pleasure to create
I love the style and music and writing a lot, but the gameplay is sort of lacking. Without any sort of chaining or holding pieces it's hard for any strategy to feel meaningful. There's a small amount of score optimization but it's very shallow. Again though, great vibe especially the music & sound design.
Thanks!! Yeah I only had time to get the mechanic working and to polish, I agree the depth of the gameplay leaves much to be desired!
The play-doh assets are so charming and lend well to the surreal soul-freeing premise of this game! A clever spin on match three type games. For a game with a simple single control, there is a depth to the decision-making regarding when to stock up doubles, holding on to multipliers for when a power up hits or SRs in a pinch. Thank you for such a wonderful game! Would love to see more, even if just an endless mode. I wanted to keep going!
Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement and feedback! It looks like every design choice I made landed exactly as it was meant to for your playthrough! I do intend to implement at the very least an endless ARCADE mode with option to continue endlessly after completing STORY mode. I might implement further difficulty scaling by allowing multiple spawns per turn, environmental powerups (no x shape for x turns, can't add to a particular lane for x turns, etc).
Love the cley style things
thanks!!!
You never know what you're gonna get in a game jam and I think I least expected a match-3 game :D
I really liked the soundtrack and the artstyle, they really work well together
Good job!
thank you!! It was a joy to create the game, especially the music and art :D
Love the visual style here! Fun game too!
I’m so glad you liked it!!
Love the style! Took me second to figure out but once I did I was immediately in the zone!
thanks so much!
Very well executed match 3 game! Love it
thanks, slick!
love the aesthetics of this one! the music was really good and suited the experience really well. the gameplay kinda left me cold but it was relaxing for what it was
thanks a lot!! Sorry the gameplay isn’t more engaging, I only had a few days I could set aside some time to build this thing and I felt I needed to grab the first idea I knew I could execute quickly :D
ZUMA!
I wish Soul Slide was as fun as ZUMA
Fun puzzle game with a super unique visual style! I like teh roguelike style of trying ot compelte them all in a row, and I was happy to beat it!
thank you so much!! It was a joy to create and honestly I’ve been getting a big kick out of playing it myself!!
Cool puzzle game elevated by the music! I was going to recommend an endless or arcade mode, but it looks like you already know, so consider this reinforcement.
thanks a lot!! I love to make music, so I’m really glad my music is getting called out by so many participants :D
I'm a sucker for puzzle game, I think I could have beaten it, but I was in a yellow drought and all I needed was yellow! 3rd stage's music was TOO scary, but this game had some bops in it! good job!
I hate when that happens!!! Sometimes I just need one shape and I won’t get it for like 20 turns!
One of my highest rated games. Music and sound design made me really enjoy this one. Also game play was simple but addicting. Keep on deving friend.
I am so glad you enjoy it! Thank you for your kind words of encouragement
idk why this give me those old 3d nostgalia graphics vibes aha, but the gameplay is super chill and i could totally just play this for ages!
thanks!!! that's exactly what I was going for :D after the jam I intend to add some more gameplay features including an arcade mode that you can play indefinitely
The art for this is goated, made me somehow miss windows clippy
thank you so much!! I think this was subconsciously influenced by clippy in a profound way :D
The only thing i can say is the game ended too quickly!!!! The game was really satisfying. The art was super cool the stop motion movement of the god was super cool and the music was really vibey. A very SLICK game!
Thank you so much! I’m very glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I regret neglecting to implement an arcade mode that goes on indefinitely that can be accessed instead of story mode or after story mode.
art is amazing and holy crap the intro music is BANGING. game is fun af. i somehow glitched and skipped level 2 so level 3 came at me hard, what difficulty spike that was lol. great job, this is awesome!
thank you so much! Music is my passion :D I’m so glad you had fun with the game, it was a joy to create
The art is amazing
thank you!!
Actually, a banger, I could keep playing this for much, much longer...
Actually, I think I just might. Great use of match 3!
well done! I’m so glad you enjoyed it
