Sklime - A Difficult Climbing Adventure

Quick Score: 5/5 Notes: Really well made game so far. My only gripe is that early on I think it might be a bit too punishing. And I would love to see some at least soft practice tools or mercy mechanics to help progress a little bit. Something along the lines of what Beton Brutal has. Otherwise strongly suggest checking it out. Ill update this review once I've hopefully finished the game lol about 2 hours in and im at 30% through, but ive been stuck in the 20-30% range for basically that entire 2 hours. This is harder than the 1st map of pogostuck by quite a bit IMO, but your mileage may vary. --------- Update: ended up taking 10 hours to beat the map. Another 10 hours of attempts to get the sub-30 minute speedrun. The sub 10-minute speedrun achievement is insanely difficult. If you are looking for a challenge, this is the game for you.

great foddian, awesome gimmicks in each area, and super cool and fun to learn tech

With all of the getting over it clones running around, it's becoming increasingly more difficult to find one with a unique take on the formula. Imagine if in the man in the pot had two hammers instead of one, and that's basically what this game is. That one small addition adds enough complexity to bring a fresh new take on a stale genre. Game is overall made pretty well, and the learning curve is steep, but definitely one of those games where if this is the type of thing you normally like, you should play it.

Do not be fooled by the trailer, sklime is a foddian game that is hard to learn and master. The control looks so simple when you see the trailer. but you will barely be able to clear 1 obstacle at the start. Slowly you will learn and be able to clear obstacle faster but it will take you time and effort to be able to play like in the trailer. The gameplay is really fun imo and i am hyped to see player speedrun and master this game to see how much better you can be. Hopefully, this become a popular foddian game cause it fit the criteria that makes the game fun and challenging. Has hard achievement

yeah i mean its pretty punishing (this game made me madder than anything ever has before), but its a foddian rage game, so you shouldn't buy it if that's going to be a problem for you *cough cough most of the negative reviews*. all in all the movement is actually kind of intoxicating once you start to get used to it, and i'm already making pretty good progress re-learning my fine motor control.

poggers

extremely satisfying and rewarding movement + a perfectly aligned difficulty curve to the expected skill of the player at each area. you make a breakthrough every time you think you just can't make the next jump

The game is pretty fun and has very simple yet engaging controls. The only problem is the difficulty is off the charts. the game need an easier mode or at least a checkpoint system. it is very frustrating when you lose close to 30 minutes of progress from failing just one jump. The game can be very infuriating and requires much perseverance to get anywhere. Overall a pretty good game but needs to be a bit easier.
