Platformers may have taken a backseat in the world of AAA gaming, but indie developers are keeping the genre alive and well. A standout title in this realm is the solo-developed, Terraria-inspired action platformer, SlimeClimb. Currently in open beta and soon to be available on iOS via Testflight, this game is poised to make waves in the indie gaming scene.
In SlimeClimb, you embody a humble slime navigating the dense dungeons and caverns of Subterra. The game challenges you to leap, bounce, and jump your way through obstacles and take on formidable bosses. It's a fully free-to-play (F2P) experience that promises hours of engaging gameplay.
Drawing inspiration from indie legends like Super Meatboy, SlimeClimb has been meticulously crafted for mobile devices. Its portrait mode-style levels and impressive polish for an indie project showcase the developer's dedication to delivering a quality experience. The game also incorporates a trendy feature among indie releases—a creator mode, allowing players to design and share their own levels, which could significantly extend the game's lifespan if it gains popularity.
