Jesus, Mary and Joseph! What are Loriciel trying to force upon us now! In the wake of the global mania for puzzle games, it seems that any old rubbish will do these days. Here we have Slider, a fat yellow thing who must trundle around a selection of mazes doing his utmost not to bump into the bad guys. Once Slider has travelled over, and therefore coloured in, each square in the maze, he moves onto the next.

Later mazes are made more hazardous by sliding platforms which will propel Slider into deadly situations.

A time limit prevents the player from being able to dawdle, or maybe consider his next move, and there are lots of squares which simply kill off Slider on contact. Terrific.

Far from being the sort of game to while away many a train journey, Slider is a pain in the arse of the first order, and deserves a place in absolutely no-one's software collection.
