Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want puzzles that can be solved by moving one character at a time may hit a wall when Red and Blue slide simultaneously.
- Players who prefer a single fixed progression may find the branching level selection interrupts their preferred sequence.
- Players looking for action-focused gameplay rather than path-drawing puzzles
Our take on Slidetracked
Players who expect to solve one route before considering the other may hit a wall as soon as Red and Blue begin moving simultaneously; each path has to account for the other's movement.
What is Slidetracked?
Slidetracked is a minimalist puzzle game built around guiding Red and Blue to their goals.
Players draw colored paths for the two characters, taking care that their routes do not interfere. Both characters move at the same time, so solving a level involves understanding how their movement interacts. The game has 60 handmade levels that explore this movement logic and its consequences. Level selection branches, allowing players to skip a level when they get stuck. The presentation uses minimalist graphics and smooth animations, with a dark mode available for late-night play.
How Slidetracked plays
- 01Simultaneous movement
- Red and Blue slide at the same time, making their movement interaction central to solving each puzzle.
- 02Branching level selection
- Players can bypass a puzzle they are stuck on and choose another available level.
- 03Dark mode
- A darker visual setting is available for play at night.
