Slither Link

Not much to say. It has everything a slitherlink game needs, which isn't much (but we all know how easy it is to mess up anyway). Great price for the number of puzzles available.

Brutally hard logic puzzle game. It took me over 200 hours to 100% it. It would have taken me less time; but I had to nuke my save after it was corrupted. That reset the counter on how many I had solved.

First bunch of puzzles are really easy, but don't let that fool you. It gets more challenging, and therefore far more fun, after that.

Great slither link puzzles. Scratches that itch in bite-sized chunks. That is, if you didn't make some terrible mistake that got you stuck.

Love it!

A mediocre implementation of a great Nikolai classic puzzle. Tutorial isn't helpful, QOL things like auto-crossing finished numbers and being able to fill in the squares or at least easily highlight a line just don't exist in this game.

I wouldn't recommend it to beginners to the puzzle due to the lack of tutorial, and I wouldn't recommend it to more experienced players due to the lack of features to make it pleasant to play.

The initial, smaller levels are barely a warm-up, but the latter levels at larger sizes will keep the grey matter working for many hours on end. There's a good 100 hours' gameplay here, without counting infinite mode.

A minimalistic puzzle game that has a simple concept and delivers it successfully.

The rules are quickly understood, based on numbers shown you have to draw a line forming a loop.
It's not excessively difficult but it's not entirely trivial click-to-win either, and there's lots of content, playing through all the levels will take plenty of hours, and since it does not vary on the concept, I can't see anyone pushing though all of this in one go: it's rather a game to have on the side, casually every now and then go solve a level.
And for that sort of gaming, it is executed well.

At least 37% of people who own this game have done 50 levels+ so that's a pretty good endorsement of the quality of the game. I've done 6 hours so far so that's very good value for money.

I liked this game and would recommend it to others.

very nice fast puzzle game

Great game to kill some time while listening to a podcast or during a boring work meeting.

Rare I actually leave a review but fell in love with a Japanese import on the DS many years ago. This is a really good (And fairly cheap) version of the puzzle game. Interface is fairly bare bones but the animation is clean and it's overall really good. Can't really fault much with it.

Well I don't know how you could make this type of game any better. Simple, no-nonsense approach, 300 levels + random generator.

Slither Link is a great, classic logic puzzle, perfectly implemented, with great, unobtrusive background music. The levels are of increasing difficulty, but all can be solved logically without trying around. In addition, the developers are top, the mini-problems that occurred were immediately and perfectly eliminated - all in all, I can only recommend this game

In short: Slither Link is a lovely simple logic game, ideal for killing time with. Even considering the shallow gameplay and plain presentation, the abundance of content provides an insane value proposition. This is a very easy recommendation for people who like to relax with straight-forward algorithmic thinking and pattern seeking.

In long: The gameplay rules are quickly explained and follow the Slitherlink template, as the name suggests. There's a grid of squares and left-click fills in edges. Some squares will have numbers that indicate how many edges should be filled in. The end goal is to have all the number conditions satisfied while all the edges form one continuous loop.
In terms of content I really enjoyed that nearly all 300 levels had unique solutions that were logically mandated. In general there is no guessing required, but a handful of levels have tiny areas where you have to select one of two solutions at random, as both will work. Most levels are on the easier side, but some can have quite tricky relationships and dependencies that you have to carefully navigate in your head to find a logical progression points with forced moves. Over time you will learn more and more useful patterns and what they indicate. The game seemed trivial at first (more about finding where to proceed than about employing actual logic), but there are a few levels which are real brain teasers. For how simple the game looks and feels, I was actually surprised to find depth, challenge and a learning curve. Unfortunately within a size block, the difficulty is essentially random and follows no progression. While the small 5x5 grids take seconds to work out, the larger ones up to 25x30 can easily take more than an hour. Thanfully progress in the active level is saved when you close the game. Overall it took me around 75 hours to work through all levels once. I would normally complain about a lack of level generator, but with this much unique content you might as well call it functionally infinite. By the end you will likely not remember any solutions from the start.

The user interface is a bit of a mixed bag. I love that there is a ton of different color themes from very bright to very dark. Left-click creates edges, right-click marks non-edges with a helpful "X". Mouse wheel zooms in and out (very helpful on larger levels), but apart from zooming into different regions I have not found a way to pan the screen with the mouse. For that you can use the undocumented and unchangable hotkeys WASD (and additionally QE for zooming). The arrow keys, which I tried first, do nothing. I would have loved a way to mark temporary edges, to play out some of the more complex scenarios without having to remember what to roll back after I find a contradiction. Every level has a clock in the top right which I found distracting at first (you cannot disable it), but I got used to it and used it as an indicator for the difficulty of the level.

The presentation is very bare-bones, but I don't mind the graphical simplicity. At leasts the appearance is clean. I found the animation at the end of each level to be a really nice touch. There are no sound effects and the game starts muted. Which is a god-send as the "music" loop was horribly glitched/bugged for me. By recording the noise I could reverse engineer that it must have been sped up and pitched up by something like 80% which really hurt my ears.
On the technical side there is not much to report. I never experienced crashes and the game appropriately has a very low resource demand. Apart from a button to change the theme and one to mute the "music" there are no settings. The game starts windowed and there is no fullscreen mode. You can resize the window by grabbing the edge and the size is remembered between sessions. Everything was perfectly functional for my needs, but your milage may vary.

In conclusion this is a perfectly functional implementation of a classic logic puzzle mechanic. It's small and simple, perfect for firing up if you have a few minutes to pass or if you're watching a video on the other screen and you want something to play that doesn't demand too much attention. Don't expect to be amazed by the presentation - Slither Link is just pure gameplay and tons of it. For ~75 hours of unique content the regular price of less than 1 Dollar/Euro is insanely cheap and I can wholeheartedly recommend buying this lovely game.

Hard to find a good Slither Link game especially on Steam. Really appreciate this one. Has a lot of levels and UI colour options, no issues whatsoever and late levels are actually challenging. It's a shame that it has to meet a threshold to count towards achievements because the achievements actually take work. If you like Slither Link this is the game for it.

A good version of slitherlink. Simple but nice interface with almost everything you need: choosing grid size and color, zooming with mouse wheel, relaxing background music. I like it.

Love this game, once it's rules were figured out. As good as any. Recommended.
Bug Fixed where it would not see Steam on a new HP laptop. Great!
