Slider is a puzzle game released in 1991 for the Sega Game Gear. The main objective revolves around navigating a small block across grid-based levels by sliding it in straight lines until it hits an obstacle or edge. Players must strategically plan their moves to reach the designated endpoint in each stage.
The gameplay pace is methodical and requires thoughtful problem-solving rather than quick reflexes. A unique mechanic in Slider is that the block cannot stop mid-slide, forcing players to consider the full trajectory of each move before acting. This mechanic distinguishes it from conventional tile or maze puzzles.
An unusual idea in the game is how the sliding motion mimics ice or frictionless surfaces, adding a layer of challenge to the puzzle genre on the Sega Game Gear. The clear visual design and smooth controls contribute to its distinctive puzzle gameplay experience.
