How to Play

How do I play Deslize?

Swipe in any direction to tilt the board. Every block slides that way until it hits a wall or another block. A level is solved when each block rests on the target with the same color and shape.

How do stars work?

Each level has a par: the minimum number of moves, verified by a solver. Solve it in par or fewer moves for 3 stars, up to 2 moves over par for 2 stars, and any solution earns 1 star. Undo and restart are free, so you can keep trying for a better score.

What are the sandy sticky tiles?

From world 5 on, some levels include sticky tiles. Any block that slides onto a sticky tile stops there, even if the path ahead is clear. Use them to park blocks where walls can't.

How do I undo or restart a level?

Tap Undo below the board to take back your last move. To start the level over, tap the restart button in the top bar and confirm. It sits away from the board so a stray tap never wipes your attempt.

How many levels are there?

Deslize has 200 levels across 10 worlds of 20 levels each, from gentle to fiendish. All of them are free.

How do I unlock the next world?

Worlds open with stars. The first world is always open, and each world after it needs 30 more stars in total than the one before: 30 stars for world 2, 60 for world 3, and so on. Inside a world, each level opens once you've solved the previous one.

Can a world lock again?

No. Once you've played a level in a world, that world stays open for good.

Does Deslize have leaderboards and achievements?

Yes. When you're signed in to Game Center, Deslize reports your scores to leaderboards and unlocks achievements as you progress.

How do I sign in to Game Center?

Open the iOS Settings app, tap Game Center and sign in with your Apple Account. Then reopen Deslize. Progress you made before signing in is reported once you're connected.

Can I play if I'm color-blind?

Yes. Every block and target has a shape as well as a color, so you can match them by shape alone.

Does Deslize support VoiceOver and Reduce Motion?

Yes. The board, blocks and controls are fully labeled for VoiceOver, and animations calm down when Reduce Motion is on in the iOS accessibility settings.

How do I turn off vibrations?

Open Settings from the Deslize home screen and switch off Haptics.

Is there a dark mode?

Yes. Deslize follows your device's appearance setting automatically.

Does Deslize cost anything?

Deslize is completely free. There are no in-app purchases, no subscriptions and no ads.

Does Deslize collect my data?

Deslize has no accounts, no ads and no tracking, and it never asks for your name or email. To help tune the levels, it sends anonymous gameplay statistics (such as how long levels take and which hints are used); turn off Settings → Privacy → Share anonymous usage to stop. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.

A world is still locked even though I've played a lot.

Worlds unlock by total stars, not by levels solved. Replay earlier levels and match par to earn 3 stars. The world card shows how many stars you still need.

My progress was lost after reinstalling the app.

When you're signed in to Game Center with iCloud Drive turned on, Deslize saves a copy of your progress and restores it automatically after you reinstall. It can take a few seconds to arrive, and Home shows a syncing message meanwhile. Settings shows when progress was last saved, or "Needs iCloud Drive" if iCloud Drive is off. Without Game Center, progress is stored only on your device, and restoring your device from an iCloud or computer backup brings it back.

My scores don't show up in Game Center.

Check that you're signed in under Settings → Game Center and have an internet connection, then reopen Deslize. Scores are sent the next time the game connects to Game Center.
