Slitherise(スリザーライズ)

Slitherise is a 2D physics-based action game where you guide a mysterious snake- like creature through a deep, dark world.

The intuitive mouse-only controls allow players to experience movement that is both simple and surprisingly deep. As players ascend, they’ll encounter unique mechanisms and gradually unravel the game’s mysterious lore through collectible fragments scattered across each stage.

This is a fresh and challenging title offering simplicity in input, but complexity in execution.

Feature 1: Unique mouse-only controls

The game uses a simple system where holding the mouse button makes the snake move toward the cursor.

However, there’s a catch: the snake can only generate real force when touching the ground or a wall.

With this minimal control and realistic physics combined, players can enjoy a deep and rewarding gameplay experience that’s easy to learn, but hard to master.

Feature 2: Interactive gimmicks and obstacles

The path upward is filled with interactive elements that take advantage of the snake’s movement:

• Moving platforms

• Levers and handles that respond to body weight

• Pressure switches

• Zero-gravity lights

• Explosive blasts that launch the snake high into the air

Each new area introduces different challenges, ensuring a fresh experience from start to finish.

Feature 3: A dark and mysterious world

The game uses minimalist visuals—black silhouettes against monochrome backgrounds—to portray a bizarre and eerie world.

The setting is a vast and deep hole, and throughout it are “memories” in the form of fragments, each containing a pixel-art-style animated short.

By collecting these, players gradually uncover the secrets of the world and the snake’s purpose for climbing.
