About Sliding Hero

Sliding Hero is a top-down puzzle Metroidvania where movement is key—think carefully, as once you start sliding you won’t stop until you hit something! Imprisoned in a sinister 1700s Venetian villa, explore a world of Carnival mystery, solve devious puzzles, uncover secrets, and unmask your fate.

More Sliding Hero Details

Sliding Hero is a brainteasing, explorative puzzle game where you can only slide in a single direction until hitting an obstacle.

Will you outsmart the villa’s many trials and unmask the truth behind your imprisonment?

A PUZZLE METROIDVANIA OF MOVEMENT AND MYSTERY

Imprisoned in a sinister Venetian villa, use your wits to help Luca Sicomoro, a Serenissima military man, escape. Every move is a test of strategy, turning movement into a puzzle. Navigate a dark and intricate world inspired by 1700s Venice and Carnival’s masked mystique, where danger and deception lurk in every shadow.

MASTER THE SLIDE

Use environmental hazards, weapons, artefacts, and your momentum to dispatch enemies and avoid deadly traps. Each encounter is a skill test, where puzzle-solving and combat seamlessly intertwine in an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master movement system.

EXPLORE AN INTERCONNECTED WORLD

The villa is a maze of hidden passageways, locked doors, and secrets waiting to be uncovered. Unlock new tools that let you backtrack to previously unreachable areas, forge shortcuts, and interact with the eccentric and enigmatic characters who dwell within.
