A Slight Chance of Sawblades is a fun high-score chaser with a demo out now
For readers who like their smaller, faster more casual high-score chasers you’ll want to check out A Slight Chance of Sawblades. Chinykian Games just put up a demo you can try out which has a Linux version available.
It’s raining sawblades in this one. In a tiny little box arena you have to run, dodge and double-jump over them all to last as long as possible, while also gathering tickets to unlock more. The demo offers 1 out of the 3 currently planned modes, and a small slice of the characters, sawblades and backgrounds you can unlock.
Full game highlights:
Game Modes
- Classic Mode – Jump over sawblades to score points. Do it fast to regain time and delay the inevitable Sudden Death!
- Phantom Mode – The player character is invisible in this mode! Rely on your superior spatial reasoning skills to survive in this unforgiving mode!
- Barrage Mode – Once spawned, every sawblade stays in the room forever. This mode is the very definition of the word “Overwhelming”!
Features
- Skill-based score-chasing action.
- High-speed arcade gameplay with time pressure.
- Juicy 8-bit style music.
- Unlockable characters.
- Unlockable game modes.
A small and sweet indie game worth blasting through on your coffee-breaks. There’s no date set for the full version yet but do give the demo a try and see how high you can make it. I’m useless at it, I’ve played for a lot longer than expected, determined to get higher and better at it but I’m just getting sliced to pieces.
