Addictive! Nice graphics!" - One of the many reviewersDescription:Meet Sam! Sam loves his girlfriend but he is far away from her. Luckily you can help him! Use your finger to draw the lines on which Sam will slide to return to her. Use your skill and imagination to avoid the obstacles, take the boosts and finally get a kiss as your reward :-). Enjoy this fun and original gaming experience with over 100 levels in 5 different universes!Features:- HD graphics and new artwork!- Highly addictive!- Fun and original gaming experience- 100 levels in 5 different universes- Cute graphics and animations- Realistic physics- A lot of different solutions to complete each level- Achievements and leaderboard Information Seller: Genre:Action, Puzzle Release:Apr 08, 2013 Updated:Aug 28, 2014 Version: Size:0.0 TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating: (4) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal iPhone version here: https://itunes.apple.com/app/sliding-sam/id541437006?mt=8 Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel The iPad version is free for the first time and was US$1.99 all the time before. I literally couldn't stop until I was almost through with Sliding Sam (what's a rare thing believe me) and got all stars. Perfectly crafted level design and difficulty balance (ramps up @ #15). Some levels are pretty hard but never unfair. The levels are short enough so you won't miss an erase or save function. But be precise! Extra challenge in chapter three: Spoiler Restricted line-drawing areas—challenge and benefit at the same time! Wait: There are Spoiler obstacles (walls), boxes to move, funny red tempo-boost fishes , three stars, time bonus, line bonus (great replay appeal for higher score), Spoiler keys for cages and—of course—birds that can't fly. Twelve motivating Game Center achievements and one highscore list. Cute! Hidden Gem Alert! Highly recommended! Tested on iPad Air. Sad that they had to switch off the video sharing feature (according to update info)—wouldn't that have been great? Can't await the next 20 levels! (There is already a place holder for Chapter 5.) Wishlist: Turn off music separately (keep effect sounds). Other threads: iPad, iPhone, earlier sale of the iPhone version (almost nothing in it).

Have played it and we like it too much. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #3 nightc1, Aug 12, 2014 Looks pretty cool. Like line rider with more purpose.

It's a good game but ultimately in the higher levels I don't feel like I have the precision required to draw perfect enough lines without it being frustrating to the point of being unenjoyable. I'm about 1/2 way through chapter 2 and am already considering this a delete. I bet its better on iPad where there's a little more real estate to work with. This reminds me of World of Goo. I loved it on wii but found the iOS version unenjoyable for the same finger in the way of precision issue. Ultimately I feel like the Steam version is the best of that game as the controls are just perfect. I bet this would be more fun with a mouse on PC/Mac. pacmangamer78 New Member Aug 13, 2014 3 0 0 #8 pacmangamer78, Aug 13, 2014 fun game fun game, good puzzler. thanks for sharing. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 1,997 145 63 #9 orangecan, Aug 13, 2014 I'd second this. myzr New Member Dec 16, 2013 4 0 0 #10 myzr, Aug 13, 2014 Thirded? Oh and when you retry, why does it completely erase your lines?? I'd like to retry and then tweak a part of the line that isn't working instead of having to start over. Also an option to switch to "eraser" mode to erase certain parts of the lines would be nice. bhavukjain1 Well-Known Member Jun 14, 2013 451 0 0 #11 bhavukjain1, Aug 13, 2014 There's an option just besides the play button. Will erase the last drawn line. bhavukjain1 Well-Known Member Jun 14, 2013 451 0 0 #12 bhavukjain1, Aug 13, 2014 The game's pretty cool. No problem with the controls on smaller sized screen. kra096 Well-Known Member Feb 20, 2013 220 0 16 Student Brazil #13 kra096, Aug 13, 2014 Nice game. I see the difficulty of making perfect lines on small screens as a challenge. I see no problem with that. I think people give up too early when they find themselves face to face with a challenge.

I didn't know that (I believed that curved arrow would be a quick level restart) and it's VERY helpful especially in the harder levels! nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #15 nightc1, Aug 14, 2014 I LOVE challenging games and my GC scores may not always be #1 but I usually manage top 25 in games that make this look like an Elmo pre-school game. I just don't like the main challenge in a game being the controls. The gameplay in this is pretty easy and basic if you've ever played Line Rider on PC or other similar path making physics games. rdmd Well-Known Member May 4, 2014 197 0 0 Habakuk's husband with Habakuk #16 rdmd, Aug 14, 2014 Exactly how I feel about this game. bhavukjain1 Well-Known Member Jun 14, 2013 451 0 0 #17 bhavukjain1, Aug 14, 2014 If you liked this game, I will suggest to play StringZ.
