Step into the wonderful world of Slackers! Picture this: you and your friends run out of drinks and the store is closing! Hop in a shopping cart, the ultimate eco-friendly marvel, master the art of riding an unpredictable beast, discover shortcuts as you pave your path to glory!
The game tasks players with controlling an unpredictable shopping cart, which has no brakes, engine, or steering wheel. Reviewers highlight how the deliberate "clunkiness" of the controls feels challenging at first, but becomes incredibly rewarding as players learn to master the art of drifting and carefully navigating obstacles. Maintaining the right balance between speed and control is crucial, as even the smallest misstep can send the cart spiraling out of control.
Players universally praise the game's physics-based gameplay, which one reviewer likens to "Trackmania on caster wheels." Navigating sharp turns, avoiding obstacles, and pulling off perfect drifts require a high level of skill and precision, often leading to a strong sense of accomplishment when players execute these maneuvers flawlessly. Reviewers draw comparisons to other titles like "Trials" and "Happy Wheels," praising the "surprisingly tight and challenging physics" that are "difficult to master but so fun when you learn how they work."
The game's 20 handcrafted levels (including 4 additional tracks added in an update) feature multiple paths and shortcuts, encouraging players to explore and discover the optimal route to the finish line. Reviewers highlight the satisfaction of "finding shortcuts" and "mastering the unpredictable and unique movements of a shopping cart" to shave seconds off their times. The level design is consistently described as "well-designed and thought-out," with tracks that are "interesting and diverse both in gameplay and setting."
A key aspect of the game's appeal is its competitive nature and replayability. The inclusion of a global leaderboard that tracks players' personal best times motivates them to continuously improve their skills and climb the ranks. The short but intense nature of the tracks, combined with the ability to quickly restart a run, leads to a "one more try" mentality that keeps players engaged. Reviewers find the game to be "addicting and rewarding," with a high skill ceiling that encourages them to invest time in mastering the controls and finding the optimal routes.
While the single-player mode is highly praised, the game's cooperative multiplayer features also receive positive feedback from reviewers. The ability to race against friends, either online or in local co-op, is seen as a highlight, with players describing the experience as "a blast" and "hysterical." Reviewers note that the multiplayer mode could be improved with additional features, such as the ability to choose specific tracks or game modes, but overall, the competitive and cooperative aspects of the game are widely enjoyed.
