Our take on Slinki
The arm serves several roles at once, but that focus leaves less room for broader combat variety or systems outside platforming, puzzles, and enemy encounters.
What is Slinki?
Slinki is a difficult 2.
5D action-platformer about an altered bunny exploring a hostile forest. Its detachable bionic arm serves as a bladed boomerang for attacking mutated creatures, pulling levers, and crossing grappling surfaces. The character can either call the weapon back or launch toward it with a slingshot movement. The game includes 10 levels, several distinct forest enemies, a score counter, timer, and lives system. Players can find Easter eggs and unlock a harder mode. The Steam edition adds improved graphics, 15 achievements, cloud saves, trading cards, new music, and an additional boss. Controller support is included.
