  • gameplay

    72 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    61% positive mentions, 35% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions

    The gameplay is praised for its unique, intuitive, and satisfying mechanics that blend precision platforming with innovative movement inspired by titles like Celeste and Hollow Knight. While generally short, the game offers a challenging yet fair experience with tight controls and thoughtfully designed levels that encourage replayability and mastery. Many reviewers express a desire for a longer or expanded version, highlighting the strong foundation and enjoyable core gameplay.

    • “In all seriousness though, it's incredibly high-quality, you've got a knack for design, in gameplay and levels!”
    • “At its core, slash/jump is a 2d platformer with a unique movement mechanic that sets it apart from the crowd. This mechanic feels intuitive yet challenging, offering a satisfying learning curve that rewards practice. The tight controls and precise mechanics make every second count, and I can easily see dedicated players shaving off seconds in their quest for the perfect run. The core mechanics are so satisfying that it’s easy to imagine them being expanded upon in a longer game with more levels, enemies, and perhaps even additional abilities.”
    • “Really awesome concept and very good difficulty, introduces a few mechanics at a nice pace to stay fresh for a really nice little progression, I instantly replayed it after beating to see how much faster I could beat it and it was even more fun the 2nd time.”
    • “Too short, even after beating the game three times and once in reverse, I still don't even have an hour of gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is straightforward but offers only a limited amount of potential puzzles before it gets old.”
    • “Although it features only one mechanic, it uses it to its fullest in a half an hour (or less) long campaign that may leave some players less satisfied.”

Overall, the story complements the gameplay without overshadowing it.

    • “Would love to see a full game with more biomes, secrets, story, etc. Full Celeste mode.”
