Gooey gooey goo! Time for another Sling review! The third full installment in the Sling series, Sling Ice, has just been released by the Edis brothers. Once again, evil monsters have stolen an element from the Oozeville power source, destabilizing it and threatening to destroy life as they know it.
Playing Sling Ice is easy, though the levels you must beat often aren't. You take control of Sling or Slingette, the one-handed blob of goo who goes to reclaim the element. Grab your character by clicking on it, drag to stretch it back, and release to send it flying across the level, hopefully to grab onto one of the other grab pegs. As you touch each peg, it turns green. When you've turned them all green, a portal will appear. Grab hold of it to complete the level. As you grab, stretch, sling, and bounce your way through each of the game's 50 levels, watch out for spikes, freezing water, special grabs, monsters, and more!
If you've played either of the previous Sling games, Sling Ice will seem very familiar. The same basic system has once again been spiced up with a few new tricks. While it's not revolutionary, it's every bit the good game we've come to expect from the Sling series.
What are you waiting for? Play Sling Ice.

This game feels... recycled. :/
I mean, it was fun, but there weren't very many new things compared to Sling Fire.

Madacaek: I had some of the same reaction at first, but in thinking back over it, I think there may be more new things in Sling Ice than in Sling Fire. What really causes that feeling of "been there, done that" is that most of the game doesn't use the new stuff.
I'm a big fan of learn-as-you-play, but by the third game, that model is getting tiring. In the next game, I hope to see the game start off with all we have so far and then add new stuff as it goes.

Sling is usually fun, and this game isn't too much of an exception. If the Edis Brothers continue to make games for each of the elements, I hope they move off from the obvious easy ones, Fire, Ice, etc. and onto the ones which will really be interesting like Space and Magic!

I love the game, but the been-there-done-that feeling comes a little bit too strongly now.

Fun game, but other than a change of scenery, thee nothing new or innovative.

Why does it always sound like someone's coughing in the background of the boss-stage music?

this game is recycled... the only thing new here is maby 3 or 4 lev's and the drippy hold i mean if the Edis brothers were looking onto this form i would say if you don't make something new i will get to your origanil webpage, ping it and then i will come and... you get the idea
