If you can’t get enough of milkshakes, you’re going to love the new game that developer Prettygreat has just added to the iOS App Store. It’s called Slide the Shakes and involves, yes, sliding milkshakes across a bar. It’s a lot trickier than you might expect…
Prettygreat was previously responsible for the well-regarded iOS game Land Sliders, which we reviewed favorably in October. In this new game, which is free to download for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, players carefully slide calcium-packed drinks with the aim of landing them in a target zone. A slide’s power is set through a finger drag, before that finger is lifted to send the shake on its way.

Successive levels call for multiple slides each and, unsurprisingly, grow in complexity as the player progresses. The bar top, for example, can change in shape or length, while extra obstacles like ice patches and holes can be thrown in to threaten the smooth slide of your shake.
Still, isn’t the game’s common reference to milkshakes really just a visual gimmick? Not quite. That’s because, with every fifth level that is completed, a new milkshake is unlocked and added to the game’s Shakeopedia, along with a recipe for how to make that shake for real.
