Slick Tricks

This is an entry for the Bigmode Game Jam 2026, made by Aimless Studios and Dilosh Designs

We chose two definitions for the theme "slick" (Source: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/slick):

• "operating or performing skilfully and effectively, without problems and without seeming to need effort" 
• "smooth, wet and slippery (= difficult to move on without sliding)"

Controls:

• A/Left: move left
• D/Right: move right
• W/Up: Jump
• S/Down: Stomp
• Space: do a random trick
• ESC: Pause

Features:

• Slick beats
• One level with a soundtrack of 2:45
• Pick ups (extra score, extra HP, double jump, invincibility)
• Tricks (frontflip and backflip) which make you invulnerable during the performance
• Upgrades (+HP, pick up spawn chance, more points per trick, more tricks per round, lower cooldown for tricks)
• Due to time constraits, we weren't able to polish the game enough regarding animations, sound effects and bug fixing, but we hope you like it :)

Description:

In Slick Tricks, you control "Slick Rick, the Trickster", an ice cube with one mission: survive and do as many tricks as you can

Different pick ups spawn that will help you during a round

Buy upgrades to survive even longer and make sure not to die until the end of the song (two minutes, 45 seconds)
