Slope game guide

How Slope works

In Slope you steer a glowing ball down an endless track that keeps generating ahead of you. The ball rolls downhill on its own; you only steer left and right. Your score is the distance you travel in metres. Falling off the track or hitting an obstacle ends the run.

The ball gets faster the further you go, up to a top speed. Every 600 metres you enter a new zone, the colours change and the track usually gets a little narrower and busier.

Controls

• Phone and tablet: press and hold the left or right half of the screen.
• Computer: ← → arrow keys, or A and D.
• Music: turn it on or off in the menu, or press M on a keyboard.

Every track has its own soundtrack, and on Cyber Beat the music tells you when the blocks will move.

Choosing steering sensitivity

The menu has three steering settings: Low, Mid and High. Mid suits most players. Choose Low if you often overshoot, especially on narrow tracks like Lava Gorge or slippery ones like Glacier Run. Choose High if you feel you can’t get out of the way in time on fast sections.

General tips for a higher score

• Look far ahead, not at the ball. By the time an obstacle is close, it is usually too late.
• Stay near the centre whenever nothing forces you to the side. It leaves room to dodge both ways.
• Use short taps for small corrections; hold only for big moves.
• Before a ramp or gap, line up straight. Steering in the air works, but only a little.
• On banked curves steer against the tilt.
• Learn each world’s special terrain: it causes more crashes than obstacles do.

Daily Challenge

Every day one of the tracks is chosen as the Daily Challenge, and every player gets exactly the same course. That makes it the fairest way to compare scores with friends. The challenge track changes automatically each day and your best daily distance is saved separately.
