Slider

Slider is a game I created for the Ludwig Jam with the theme being a Foddian game. My approach to this was to make a game with an unconventional control scheme and a punishing failure. You use the mouse to control the player who slips and slides whenever they move on surfaces but can just an unlimited amount. Avoid touching the red platforms otherwise you'll have to start again. The game also includes an editor mode which I used to begin creating the level. The initial release features an unfinished level due to time constraints but it has since been fleshed out some more with a goal coin added at the end.

This project was the first project to include hTech (at the time it was called 'HalTec') which is a 2D game library I am working on.
