Games Like Slope: More Ball Games, Tunnels and Two-Key Runners
Published · 1 min read

Slope is two keys, a ball and speed. If that is what you liked, the games below share at least two of the three, sorted by how close they feel.
The slope in a tube
Slope Tunnel puts the same ball on the inside of a tunnel, so there is no edge to fall off, only walls to hit. Tunnel Rush is the same idea louder and faster; Color Tunnel is the same idea gentler. Death Run 3D is for when Tunnel Rush feels slow.
The sequels
Slope 2 and Slope 3 are fan continuations with new pieces and steeper speed curves. Slope 2 Multiplayer puts two balls on one keyboard, which is the best way to find out who in the room has the calmer hands.
Other balls
Rolling Sky is a ball runner set to music with fixed levels, so memory works where it does not in Slope. Stack Ball drops the ball down a tower instead of a hill and is one of the best one-thumb games ever made; Rolly Vortex is the tunnel idea at a mobile pace.
Two keys, no ball
Cubefield is Slope's grandparent: a ship, a field of cubes, left and right. Two Neon Boxes makes you steer two things at once and is humbling.
One key
Drift Boss, Flappy Bird and Jetpack Joyride reduce the steering to a single input and keep all of the tension. If Slope has taught you to tap instead of hold, you are already good at all three.
Where to start
If you want more Slope, Slope Tunnel. If you want a friend involved, Slope 2 Multiplayer. If you want to feel calm, Rolling Sky.

The wall most players hit is not reflexes. It is three habits: holding the key, watching the ball and steering in the air. Fix them and 100 is routine.
