Sklime - A Difficult Climbing Adventure

Too frustrating

This is a masterclass in game design, a MUST PLAY for almost anyone that likes Foddian games. The reason for my praise is the brilliant idea of adding minigames to a Foddian. They're super fun practice places where there's no risk of falling. There, you can choose to take a break from the main objective, while still working towards it, which is just genius. The skill ceiling of the controls is INSANELY high. That is due to the 2 free axis of movement instead of the usual 1 from most Foddian games. There are a lot of great features taken from Pogostuck, which are: Physical leaderboards in the game. Hidden collectibles for skilled players. Challenge modes to make the base game harder. The art is also really pretty and avoids the cliché of random objects that make no sense. Now that you know the game is amazing, let's talk about the minor problems I've had with the game: There is no song when falling from a high place, and there is no snake. Because of that, it lacks on the psychological warfare aspect of a Foddian game. If you enjoy Foddian games only because of the raging when falling and pleasure when winning, this might not be for you. This game focuses on movement mastery, and doesn't try that hard to make you feel bad. If you can derive pleasure just from movement mastery, you really need to buy this though. My verdict is that this game is barely not a masterpiece, so I won't rate it an 11/10. It definitely deserves a spot in the Mount Rushmore of Foddian games, because this is 500x better than Jump King. 10/10
