Slider News

Guys... we did it!

Despite the stacked line up of amazing free games, Slider managed to be the 2024 Thinky Awards' Best Free Puzzle Game!

5 Big Booms for Slider please!

This is probably the last award we will be getting given Slider's expiring shelf life (though we are still constantly getting new players which is awesome!), but it's been an amazing time releasing a game that has captured so many. Every time I see someone asking "Why is this game free?", I can't help but smile.

Things have stalled out a bit, but there are still a few more projects that I'm hoping to get to before closing the book on Slider.

Thank you again for all of your dedicated support, it truly means the world to me!

We have our normal updates, but also...

Slider was nominated for 3 awards in the Thinky Awards!

And for the usual bug fixes:

- Main menu buttons properly highlight when you hover over them
- Fix bug with Chad Race sometimes floating around
- Fix bug in Mountain where crystals don't save properly during the turn in
- Fix bug in Factory and MRI where the lever in the bottom right of the map wouldn't properly force doors open
- Tried fixing a bug related to hint text not properly disappearing

- An experimental Korean localization has been released! Huge thank you to Tororo for helping us translate the game ❤️. Please give us any feedback you have. We are currently working on a Chinese localization! But there's so much to translate...
- Updated some NPCs who were using the default talking sounds

==========

Slider v1.0.18b

- Added some missing translations in the Korean localization

- Fixed a bug in the Factory where the time glitch was not properly happening unless you quit + reloaded
- Fixed a game breaking bug in Factory where if you quit while the conveyors were in a loop, the game would get softlocked until you fully reset.
- Fixed a bug in the Military where equipping the anchor right after you flag move a unit would put the anchor in a bad state
- Fixed a bug in MRI where the final hint for missing gems wasn't properly given
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't click on artifact tabs if keyboard only mode was on
- More Localization changes!

I have a dream... that one day I'll see those words next to our game

"Overwhelmingly Positive"

Only 300 more reviews to go!



Slider has been such a journey and I've been wayyy too addicted to constantly reading the reviews. I'm doing my best to keep up with the bugs (which have been for the most part kept up with?!) and in the coming months we should be able to start rolling out localization!

Anyway, thanks again to everyone who's been reporting bugs and everyone who's been writing reviews. It's made the whole team super happy to read all the positive feedback and I've been glad that I've been able to find the time to keep supporting the game.
