When we think of platformer games, we always think of the game as being about running, jumping, and dodging obstacles. Alternatively, when we think of puzzle games, it’s all about solving challenges that test our IQ level. But that’s not true with Slunkey. The game brings both worlds together, but with a surprising twist: a sling mechanism that changes how you move, think, and play.
Here’s the question you might have? What makes Slunkey different from other games? Let’s understand it together!
Instead of just moving left and right, you’ve got a sling-shot mechanic to launch yourself across the Banana factory. Sounds simple, right? But here’s the catch! Every launch has to be just right. Too much power, and you’ll overshoot. Too little, and you’ll fall short. Plus, the add in obstacles, puzzles, and clever level designs makes you feel you’re in for a real brain-and-skill workout. At its heart, Slunkey is a platformer puzzle game, but it doesn’t play like anything you’ve tried before. Each level demands precision, timing, and patience.
It’s not just about completing the levels with one star! It’s about figuring out how to collect all the bananas, plus reaching the end point on time so you get three stars. The game is light, fun, and full of “aha!” moments when you finally nail a tough puzzle. The mix of trial-and-error with satisfying success makes it one of those games you just don’t want to put down.
Slunkey wasn’t just built as a typical game that originated in a studio. It started as a game project of a team of passionate students, guided by experienced mentors. They came together to explore how a simple sling-shot mechanic could be turned into a full puzzle-platforming experience.
What made these talented students possible was the collaboration of Kyodai Gameworks with Backstage Pass’s Accelerator Program. The program gave students the right mix of mentorship, resources, and real-world exposure to bring their ideas to life. Slunkey is one of the standout examples that, with the right support, young creators can design games that feel fresh, challenging, and fun.
Slunkey is no mere platformer, nor puzzle pastime. It feels like stepping into a world where every leap carries a little bit of wonder. Each level is a mystery of its own, and every obstacle is a doorway waiting to be unlocked. And as you move forward, you’re not simply playing a game! You’re discovering a whole new way of thinking, moving, and mastering challenges.
