Find Slinky Find Slinky is a series comprised of three games, Find Slinky 1, and Find Slinky 2. Find Slinky 3 is currently being worked on and is not yet available to the public. The trilogy is dedicated to a streamer known as TheSadSlinky. The trilogy tries to give his character a slinky a backstory, while also being a fun and interactive series that anyone can enjoy. The series involves finding a slinky repeatedly as it is hidden, stolen, and taken from you. Each of the three games plays drastically differently, each with a unique playstyle and theme.

Find Slinky 1

A up and coming game designer's first attempt at a game dedicated to thesadslinky, a streamer on twitch.

Pros and Cons

Pros: - Easy to understand mechanics and gameplay. - Each level is pretty straightforward and fun to do. - Levels get more complex and are more challenging as you progress.

Cons: - The story behind the game is minimal, besides getting to your slinky. - It is a very short game, with the average first playthrough taking a player 1 to 5 minutes. This game's replayability is low since it is short and straightforward, but it is fun to play on occasion. - Unable to restart the game at any point, and when you finish the game, it force closes itself.

Level Design

Starting area: Simple flat level where you are given instructions on moving and progressing to future levels.

Level 1: Basic starting level where your goal, a slinky, spawns across from you, and you must get it.

Level 2: A slightly more complex level where the character has to go through a simple maze to find their slinky.

Level 3: Sadly, your slinky stopped working slightly, and you get angry at it; this is the first and only level where the slinky is a solid object that you can interact with directly.

Level 4: In this level, you start in an open area, nothing is around you, and you wonder what is happening.

Level 5: The final level, all you see is a wall in front of you.

Ending area: At the end of the game, a typical congratulations screen.

Speedrun Timing and Rules

For speedrunning the game, it is commonly accepted that the timer starts when you touch the first slinky on the starting area and progress to the first level. Timing ends when the game closes after leaving the ending area.

Find Slinky 2

This game takes the concepts of having to find a slinky from Find Slinky 1, FS1, and adds a new spin on it, starting with trying to find a slinky in a maze for the first half of the game, and becoming the slinky in later stages of the game

Pros and Cons

Pros: - This game is a much more polished game compared to FS1. - It is a much longer and complex game but should still be considered a short game. It should take the average player about 10-30 minutes to beat it the first time. - Text appears at the bottom of the screen with hints and instructions for the game. - This game has much more of an actual story and is portrayed through the text that appears at the bottom of each screen. - Ability to go to the menu and restart a run at any time.

Cons: - Its mouse sensitivity is very high. - Still a short game, and its replayability is limited unless you want to go for a speed run of the game. - Going to the menu ends your current play-through.

Level Design

Starting area: A simple box-like room with grid lines indicating distances. Levels 1 through 5 will start in this room.

Level 1: You are in a maze and have lost your slinky, gather your wits, learn to walk, and move around in the maze to find your slinky

Level 2: Someone is passionate about keeping your slinky from you, and you find yourself back in the same situation as level one

Level 3-5: The same situation as level 2 occurs with further dialog about each level.

Level 6: You have successfully found your slinky and manage to secure him in your home, now you have to get some sleep from exhaustion due to trying to find your slinky all day.

Level 7: You wake up randomly and decide you want to play with your slinky some more.

Level 8: You seem to pass out and become slinky, but now you do not know what to do. Maybe find something to go down since slinkies love to fall down particular objects.

Level 9: Escape from hell

Ending area: Wake up and get to play with your slinky more.

Speedrun Timing and Rules

For speedrunning the game, it is commonly accepted that the timer starts when you hit play on the menu screen. Timing ends when you get back to the ending screen after waking up from escaping hell. Hitting escape does not count.
