Our take on Slow Down, Bull
The bounce point arrives with the steering system: every directional input increases Esteban’s stress. Players expecting unrestricted movement may struggle when repeated inputs raise that stress during a level.
What is Slow Down, Bull?
Slow Down, Bull is an action collecting game starring Esteban, an overachieving bull who wants to create art.
Players steer him through five schoolcraft-themed areas while gathering craft pieces and managing his stress, which rises whenever he is steered. Levels include running and bouncing, avoiding residents, and escaping Annette the Bullcatcher. Critter characters join Esteban during his journey. Completed levels can be replayed to pursue higher scores. The game was developed by Insomniac Games in partnership with Starlight Children’s Foundation.
