REVIEW: Slide the Shakes (iOS)

In theory, the game Slide the Shakes shouldn’t work. After all, each of the successive levels involve one thing: sliding a calcium-rich beverage across a bar surface to land it in a pre-specified target. But it does work – utterly brilliantly. Here’s perhaps the most deceptively simple game you’ve ever read about…

Slide the Shakes consists of over a hundred levels, each of which require you to make a carefully-timed swipe across the screen. The longer you swipe, the faster and further your shake will travel. It’s a wonderfully simple control system which means that the game can even be easily played one-handed – ideal for when you’re out and about and your other hand is occupied with carrying luggage…

Meanwhile, variety throughout the levels is provided with randomly-placed obstacles, like icy surfaces and moving platforms, which you have to carefully navigate your shake past. The actual shakes vary, too – and, every few levels, you will unlock a new milkshake recipe to keep and try out. It’s yet another incentive for avid milkshake guzzlers to freely download Slide the Shakes for iPhone or iPad.
