How does your game represent "Slick"?
The game has very slippery controls. The main character is named Slick and rides a snowmobile. The enemies are members of the Slickness Neutralizing Organization (S.N.O.). The objective is to get the enemies to slip and fall. Slick maneuvers may be performed during gameplay.

Super cool game! The movement took a bit to get used to, but felt really slick and satisfying. The art is also fantastic, the color palette gives an old school arcade vibe and suits the gameplay really well. Loved the intro cutscene as too, no idea how you had the time to get that done in addition to the game with such a short amount of time. Overall, a really creative idea and a lot of fun. Awesome job!
awwww thanks so much! That’s a very kind comment.
This has hotline Miami vibes
exactly what we were going for!
Man, the movement felt really slick, I like it a lot!
Also, the intro sequence was very well made and I also love the reference to a certain organization that isn't doing all too well at the moment, let's just say that
Pretty cool entry, great job!
Thanks a lot! Totally agree with you.
nice. lol but for real this was a fun game at first i was strugglin a bit and just slammin into everything but i started to get the hang of using the charge up quickly! Fun game wouldn’t mind a wave based difficulty system to be implemented in the future!
it takes a bit of practice to get down for sure. Thanks for playing it enough to get over that learning curve with the controls! We liked making this game a lot, and maybe with some tweaks we would think about adding more of an objective like waves and upgrades.
Add snowballs
Totally 👍 need roguelike mode haha
Racked up 516, those agents are snow more…really satisfying to drift right through a big crowd of them.
That’s a great score! I’m really glad you liked the game :)
Like the story :D
thank you! Thanks for playing
Nice graphics and nice intro. It is fun and chaotic. There is an unintended effect; since the snow is the actual projectile and you have to drift to throw snow there is a high chance of just bouncing around. Other than that, Good job!.
thank you! During testing we found ourselves enjoying the chaos of bumping around like a pinball, but it’s also fair to want a more controlled experience. Maybe different snowmobiles with different stats would be a way to accomplish this? Lots to think about
Using the snow as your projectile is a really cool idea! I fell into the trap of thinking that I needed to ram into penguins, but once I realized it was the snow that was causing them to fall, I enjoyed it a lot more. The snow from the sky and the snow from the snowmobile were the same color, so I didn't notice it was important at first. It was fun to attack with something that didn't need to be precise!
that’s a great point!! We were working with a limited color palette so that’s why we decided to make the snow this color. But I probably should have used a different color that was within the palette for visual clarity. I also think, if we had more time we would have given the player more feedback on downing an agent.
The colors, sprites & music are all fantastic, & I love the fact that I leave tracks in the snow, that was a really nice touch!
thanks a lot! I love the neon vibe, I’m going to have to try out your game at some point this week
The soundtrack is fun. I had a hard time controlling the snowmobile, but I did retire 47 agents.
thanks for playing! Also, agent 47 👀
This is a really cool idea. I thought the art in this entry was really good, and I enjoyed playing it, but I found it tricky to meaningfully control, so I was mostly just mashing buttons and enjoying the graphics while managing to rack up a decent score. Would be interesting to see how you can try to restore a bit more control and challenge to the player while keeping the core idea intact. Well done!
thanks for playing, and for the valuable feedback. We may have gone too far with the “slick” theme 😅. I find the movement to be really chaotic and fun but most of the feedback I’ve received is aligned with what you’ve said.
I was vibing to the music omggg ! The snow mechanic is such a good idea ! Almost made it to 300 kills !
glad you liked it! ❤️
Wow, the intro was so cool! I love the animation!
Nice idea, it was interesting to control the character to throw snow over the enemies.
Nice sound design!
thanks for playing! Glad you liked the intro
I love the visuals and music, it really makes a vibe. That intro cut scene is fantastic. The controls are slippery, but once you get it down it feels pretty good. Its pretty difficult to avoid projectiles though, whether or not I took damage felt more like chance than skill. I would have liked score pickups or powerups, and if there were unique levels that would have made me want to come back and play more. I really like kicking up snow to hit the enemies, that's a great idea and feels nice in practice.
I’m glad you learned to enjoy the slippery controls! It’s a really challenging game, but it’s by design. The projectiles and enemy abilities/obstacles could definitely be improved to fit this type of game more.
The sound design is really nice and I love the color palette. It took me a moment to get the controls down, but once I built up some momentum, it was a lot of fun! Also, thank you for not making me kill any penguins haha
Thanks!!! Yeah because of the political connection, we didn’t want to encourage too much violence haha
fuck sno all my homies hate sno
i LOVE the intro cutscene and the artstyle of the game, it's refreshing to see something so arcade-y. i'd love to see a version where you can turn any directions instead of tank controls, or one where the snowmobile drives faster so you could pull off some BIG drifts. Really unique and fast paced game, great job!!
agreed!! Man I really like tank controls but one thing I learned during this jam is that most people aren’t a big fan, which is fair!
That intro animation was sick! Love the isometric map. I gotta come back and try it with gamepad.
Thanks for the compliment! I’m unsure this will work with gamepad though, I really should have thought of that
This is a very fun mechanic, and excellent music. I played to like 200 SNO. DEATH TO SNO!
Thanks so much!!! Fuck SNO
Love speeding into groups and doing donuts, the spray is immensely satisfying.
Thanks! Doing donuts is a great strategy. I'm glad you had fun!
