At first glance, Slope looks like a complete banality: simple 3D graphics, a ball and an endless sloping track. But once you start it, you’ll find that it’s exactly the kind of game you’d play « for five minutes »… and then half an hour has passed.

The controls are extremely simple – just left and right – but the game is brutally uncompromising. The speed gradually increases, the track breaks, obstacles appear and any small mistake means an instant end. No checkpoints, no mercy.
