SLI-FI: 2D Planet Platformer

I received the game key for free from the designer on Reddit and I'd like to offer my impressions on this game. After playing for a bit under an hour here is what I have to say: the game is visually appealing and it's easy to understand/read what is on the playing field even in the most crowded scenes. The color palette and the mostly black background really help with that. Because of this, all the obstacles are clearly visible and that can be very helpful when pulling off more complicated moves. Players can learn a bunch of things from experimenting with the mechanics: how to move between planets, how to use a planet's gravity to propel yourself, how to fall/land with some grace and so on. Actually, I'm quite fond of physics-based games (Besiege, Poly Bridge, Turbo Dismount, Kerbal Space Program and etc) and SLI-FI features nice use of gravity/orbit in a platforming environment. Considering it is still in beta, there's a lot of potential to grow the game in different directions. I don't know if this is in the plans, but adding mutators (in the style of Unreal Tournament, like altered gravity, doubled movement speed, explosive objects and so on) and user-created levels/skins/challenges would be an awesome addition. The music is nice and there's a subtle touch I love: when you're out of orbit between planets the percussion fades and comes back only when you reach a planet. That amplifies the suspense of "will I make that jump or will I float away into space?". The game features co-op, but I have yet to try it. TL;DR - Cool game with room to grow, physics-based gameplay, easy to understand and very accessible.

Fun little time waster, but unfortunately its just too slow paced to be interesting for that long. Thanks for the free game and a really friendly developer :D

A good little game which fits more for mobiles. A good difficulty that increases according to the levels. Slightly repetitive music. With an price of 3.99 €, we expect a little more finishing and research in the style of the game. A price like 99cts would surely attract more players.

simple, relaxing and cheap the controls are really simple as well. you can start without needing a tutorial

fun to play with the littles
