Slider Widget is a puzzle game that challenges players to eliminate groups of colored pearls for entertainment.
To play the game, the player must combine three or more pearls of the same color in a row or column of the game board. Once combined, the pearls will be removed from the board, and the pearls above them will fall into the open spaces left behind. New random pearls will then fill the board from the top to replace the removed items.
The player is given one move per turn, and the move must result in the removal of game pieces from the board. If a move does not result in the removal of pearls, the move will be automatically reversed – except in the case of special pearls. To perform a move, the player uses the directional buttons around the game board. The player may move a row one place to the left or right or a column one spot up or down. The pearls in the affected row or column will then shift one place in the direction of the button pressed.
As the game progresses, the strategic aspect of Slider becomes apparent. The first pearl in the direction of the move will wrap around to the other side of the row or column. This can create unexpected combinations and presents the player with new opportunities to score points.
Points are awarded for each combination of pearls removed from the board. The more pearls removed with one turn, the more points per pearl the player will receive. Additionally, the pearls that randomly replace the removed pearls can also form combinations and will be removed from the board, creating a cascading effect. These cascades create additional bonus points and add an extra layer of strategy to the game.
Overall, Slider is a must-play for puzzle game enthusiasts. Its colorful graphics, intuitive gameplay, and challenging strategy make it a standout in the puzzle game genre.
