Slope is more than simply a game; it's an impossible-response test, a vertiginous plunge into the abyss, and an unexpectedly fascinating quest for the ideal run.  As you careen down an unending, neon-lit hill, your one objective is to maintain your route, while everything else around you becomes a haze. And that is the essence of the charming simplicity of Slope's gameplay.  It's a simple game that puts the emphasis on the excitement of the chase rather than complicated mechanics.  With merely a rolling ball, an endlessly decreasing slope, and no power-ups, adversaries, or distractions, this game is pure chaos.

Slope is lovely because it is simple yet elegant.  Getting about the dangerous landscape is as easy as dragging your finger left or right, thanks to the controls' intuitive design.  This seeming ease conceals a very difficult ordeal.  You need pinpoint accuracy and reflexes to keep up with the ball's escalating velocity.  You will be compelled to begin your descent all over again if you make even the slightest mistake, or if you underestimate the gravity of the situation.  Your hand-eye coordination and composure will be put to the test as you navigate through an endless loop of terrifying close calls and almost misses.
