Guys... we did it! Despite the stacked line up of amazing free games, Slider managed to be the 2024 Thinky Awards' Best Free Puzzle Game!
5 Big Booms for Slider please! This is probably the last award we will be getting given Slider's expiring shelf life (though we are still constantly getting new players which is awesome!), but it's been an amazing time releasing a game that has captured so many. Every time I see someone asking "Why is this game free?", I can't help but smile. Things have stalled out a bit, but there are still a few more projects that I'm hoping to get to before closing the book on Slider. Thank you again for all of your dedicated support, it truly means the world to me!
