SlimeClimb takes you straight to the top in a subterranean world of action platforming

The humble platformer genre, once a staple of console gaming, has seen a decline in attention from AAA developers in recent years. However, it continues to thrive in the indie scene, where creativity and innovation flourish. A standout example is the solo-developed, Terraria-inspired action platformer, SlimeClimb.

SlimeClimb is a fully free-to-play game that challenges you to navigate the dense dungeons and caverns of Subterra. As a slime, your mission is to leap, bounce, and jump your way upwards, skillfully avoiding obstacles and confronting deadly bosses. The game isn't just about dodging sawblades and fire; you'll also face formidable boss monsters determined to stop your ascent.

Drawing inspiration from indie classics like Super Meatboy, SlimeClimb has been meticulously crafted for mobile devices, featuring portrait mode-style levels that enhance the gaming experience. For a project developed by a single person, the level of polish is remarkably impressive.

He slimed meSlimeClimb also incorporates a popular feature among indie games: a creator mode. This allows players to design their own levels and share them with the community, adding significant replay value and extending the game's lifespan if it gains popularity.

Currently, SlimeClimb is available in open beta on Google Play, and you can sign up for the iOS version through Testflight.
