About the Game

Sluggish is a punishing, charming and simple platformer where you guide a bouncy, slippery slug spirit through the whimsical underworld of Sorborn. Ascend a seamless vertical world across six distinct biomes, dodging obstacles and enemies in a silhouetted art style. With permadeath, checkpoints, and limited hearts, your goal is to reach the Well of Souls to find eternal rest. One wrong move, and you’re back to the start. Can you conquer the climb?
