Our take on Slam
The game foregrounds increasingly difficult puzzles and a low-move challenge, while its structure remains focused on moving one crate to a goal across a fixed set of levels. The main variation comes from the mechanisms used within those puzzles.
What is Slam?
Slam is a puzzle game in which gravity is the only controllable element.
Each level requires moving a glowing energy crate to a goal while navigating mechanisms such as barrels, sliders, switches, magnets, and teleporters. The game contains more than 50 levels that become increasingly difficult. After completing a puzzle, players can attempt it again while seeking the lowest possible move count. Optional VR support is available for HTC Vive. In VR, players can walk around the puzzle layouts and use the - and = keys to change their apparent size, offering another way to examine each arrangement.
