Slab is an older game from 2018. It's a venerable 6 years old at the time of this review.
Slab is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Breakout (Copyright Atari, 1976). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. At this stage no legal action has been taken by Atari against the "developer", but it's never off the table, as previous copyright law cases have shown.
Putting aside the unethical intellectual bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept for profit, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping off. Slab is considerably worse than Breakout.
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals.
The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic "retro" looking 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.
The developers didn't design the game for modern gaming PCs, as such the display resolution caps out at 1080p, a very low resolution that became mainstream back in 2006 and became obsolete when 4K entered the mainstream in 2014. The game simply won't look right on modern gaming displays due to this failure on the part of the developers.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 10 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam?
Slab is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 14,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.
Love it! I've been looking for an arkanoid clone for a long time. Not sure how I got it, but it's really great. The only thing I don't get is the sticky margins. I don't remember that part.
Ok, I've changed my mind, this is not a good arkanoid clone, but it's the closest one yet. There are just too many bugs, to the point that it just doesn't feel like a challenge anymore. There is no polish and absolutely no effort put into level design, the whole thing is just some kid's prototype probably.
I wish there was a neutral option because i'm still enjoying the physics of the game, but also disappointed in the overall product.
Changed my mind again. Level 19 is pretty good, more by chance than by design, but anyway, none of this matters.
if you click resume in the pause menu instead of pressing esc, the ball launches immediately because it doesn't only count as a button press but also as a launch command. major issue reported years ago, dev doesn't give a fuck.
