What players say

A very beautiful and simple game that engages with picturesque stages, gameplay and unlockable content

Lifeslide is an indie flight-focused experience developed and published by Dreamteck that transforms a deceptively simple idea-guiding a paper airplane-into a demanding, atmospheric, and quietly emotional journey. At first glance, the game appears minimalist in both presentation and controls, but that restraint is intentional. Lifeslide is built around physics, momentum, and flow, asking players to engage deeply...

A classic example of a game ruined in the gamification, they made the zen mode where you fly endlessly and then (maybe at the last minute) made the story mode where you grind grind grind for upgrades and new planes....not worth paying for it, I really wanted to refund but stuck with it....not a bad "game" but I wouldn't recommend anyone paying for it.
