about the game

slickpaint the maze, one slide at a time

A free sliding puzzle with endless mazes. Every board is generated to be solvable and comes with a par. Works with swipes on phones and arrow keys on laptops. No download, no account.

slick is a free sliding maze puzzle you play in the browser. Swipe, or press an arrow key, and the penguin slides in that direction until it hits a wall. Every tile it crosses gets painted. Paint every floor tile to clear the board.

Every board is generated from a seed, checked to be solvable, and comes with a par: the fewest slides that paint it. Three stars for par or better. Tap mid-slide to brake and stop on the next tile, which can beat par.

Play endless levels on easy, medium or hard, race the clock in a 90 second rush, or play the daily maze that is the same for everyone that UTC day.

questions

slick questions

How do slides work in slick?

Swipe on the board, or press an arrow key or WASD, and the penguin slides that way until the next wall. It paints every tile it crosses. A slide that cannot move bumps and costs nothing. Up to two slides queue up while one is still moving.

How does the brake work?

Tap the board, press Space or B, or press the brake button while the penguin is sliding, and it stops on the next tile. You get three brakes a level on easy, two on medium, one on hard and two per rush board. Undo does not give a brake back.

What do the special tiles do?

Honey stops you on it. Arrows turn you mid-slide. Portals come in pairs and send you out of the partner still moving. Cracked tiles break after one crossing; slide onto a broken one and you fall, the slide is undone and costs one slide.

What is par and how are stars earned?

Par is the fewest slides that paint the board without brakes. Finish at or under par for three stars, within 30 percent over par for two, and anything else for one. Brakes can beat par.

How does rush mode work?

Rush gives you 90 seconds to paint as many small boards as you can. Each board has two brakes and three undos. Your best count is kept for each difficulty.

How does the daily maze work?

The daily maze is one board that is the same for everyone that UTC day and difficulty. Your first clear counts on the daily leaderboard, ranked by fewest slides; replays are marked as practice.

What are coins and the shop for?

Clearing boards earns coins for stars, beating par, splashes and unused brakes, doubled on the daily. Spend them on hats and paint trails for the penguin. Coins are cosmetic and never change a score.
