Slackskin & Flint (Amiga) - A Playguide and Review - by LemonAmiga.com
35This is a game I found whilst looking for mystery and unknown games to vote for in the Lemon/EAB compo. I had a quick warmup go on level 1, but the rest is all new to me.

This game is fairly manic, and to play it is a lot harder than what it looks on the screen. My controller was moving all over the place trying to play it, and its a bit like building a wall which is collapsing all around - go here do this, go there, do that. I found the graphics and the playability are there, with amazing music which has now been stuck in my head for several days. The game has its flaws, the biggest being having to play 50 levels in one sitting, and I was worn out after perhaps playing 3 or 4 levels. I can imagine 2 player mode in this would be amazing, but I figured the review was a bit over-long, so I didnt bother to record any extra footage.
The items:
Barrel - Fire Balls
Book of Matches - Nostril Fire
The Steel Balls - Slow down / sink faster
Two reversed arrows - switch left/right controls
The Spring - jump higher
The old boot - run faster
Rings and Crowns - invulnerability
Diamonds - points
Hearts - lives
Vacuum - draw items closer
Clocks - unknown
Bugs:
I say I found this on the Lemon database, but the game is not yet on the Lemon database, so I must have seen this on HOL. The image of Slackskin was also taken from HOL, so I just want to extend my thanks to them for noticing this game.
