I highly recommend this game. I've played about an hour total and want people to know about it. It doesn't quite fit the cliche of a simple to pick up yet deep platformer. It is more of a skilled puzzle platformer from the get go and it took me a bit of time to adjust to the controls. Experiment and be patient and you'll be into it in no time (if you like difficult platformers). I played just under an hour according to my stats and reached level 10 maybe? Bite sized levels similar to super meat boy. Much more challenging than meat boy, although the more I get used to controls it may become easier. If you're worried its too puzzle oriented and not skill based enough, don't worry as you need more skill to see through the execution of your path. The introduction of new controls (new jumps etc) is beautifully introduced in the context of the level you're in. Experiment. Die. Think some more. Execute poorly but realise you have the right idea. Sucessfully execute. Reward. Next level. ...

About This Game
In some platformers you die a lot. Not because you are being killed by things you could not possibly know - you perfectly know what's what but you still can't pull off the moves. In some platformers you spend 10 minutes on a level that can be passed in under 15 seconds.
You might look at SLIDE's footage and think that it's an easy game. But you would be wrong.
SLIDE is a hardcore 2d platformer where you run, jump and (often) die. No enemies, no blowing stuff up.
What makes this game stand out - for better or worse - is a system of contextual jumps which allows to perform dozens of jumps simply by combining direction keys with the "jump". You can even jump down.
This feature not only makes for a unique paltforming experience but also adds a puzzle element where you need to figure out what jumps are available to you and which ones to perform in certain situations.
