At a Glance

Slide Soldiers is a cozy sliding puzzle game where the goal is to get all the enemies rather than reach an exit.

There’s no rush to complete puzzles. While every level has a perfect path to discover, finding it is completely optional. You can choose from multiple difficulties and modes to customize your experience, making this the perfect "brain off" or "brain on" game.

In this reimagined genre, the shortest path to victory is right through your enemies!

Features

Solve puzzles at your own pace With no timers to worry about, things stay chill and relaxing. Take your time, enjoy the music, and solve puzzles at your own speed.

It’s the perfect game to grind out 100 levels in one sitting or just clear a few when you have a spare moment.

As you progress, the forest transitions between seasons offering new visuals and music to keep things fresh.

Challenge yourself across 4,000 levels Slide through 4,000 pre-generated levels ranging from easy to hard! Are you up for a challenge? Every level has a perfect path to discover.
Watch out for Hard Mode that introduces decoy enemies designed to mislead players who rush their decisions.

Want to explore? Try Adventure mode and slide into the densest part of the forest. You can’t see as far, so you’ll have to follow your trail to know where you’ve been. Levels are built without dead ends, so you might get lost but you’ll never get stuck.

About Us

Who We Are

Distracted Coder is a solo independent game studio based just outside of Chicago.

I'm Alex Wagner and I'm the founder and developer behind the studio. I handle the game design, programming, and creative direction for every project.

How it Started

I have been coding and making games since I was in 6th grade. It's been 15 years now!

I released my first iOS game at 19, which went on to surpass a few thousand downloads. After releasing 2 more apps and spending five years creating content on YouTube, I set my sights on something bigger: a Steam game, and maybe someday consoles.
