Our take on Sklime - A Difficult Climbing Adventure
The defining constraint is independent control of two climbing arms, with each joystick governing one side of the slime. That setup turns a small number of inputs into a coordination challenge, while the absence of checkpoints makes every setback part of the ascent.
What is Sklime - A Difficult Climbing Adventure?
Sklime is a controller-focused climbing game in which a slime attempts to rise from the bottom of the Depths and return home.
Each arm is directed with a joystick, requiring simultaneous control of both sides during the ascent. Arm movement accelerates when an arm falls farther from its intended position, creating a simple control scheme with demanding execution. Progress is retained in both directions, but the game has no checkpoints. The route passes through seven environments, each introducing different obstacles, mechanics, or minigames. These minigames include score-based activities that can be used for friendly competition. The game presents a deliberately severe challenge and draws inspiration from Bennett Foddy's Getting Over It.
