About Alkali
Physics-Inspired Gameplay
Utilize the physical properties of your alkali metal body to react with the environment. Jump into water to explosively leap upwards, use yourself as an improvised torch to move fire, sacrifice half your mass to go through a whirling saw, or simply use the polished movement system to avoid hazards.
A Game Where Size Matters
A precision platformer without instant death. Keep your body topped off by picking up pieces of alkali metal in a world that wants to grind you down, and use your varying size to your advantage.

Quick Score: 3/5 Notes: The gameplay itself is a solid albeit basic platformer, and there is a fair amount of content, but that is about it. The visuals are pretty bad, and the level design ranges from middle of the road to mildly annoying. The core mechanic of the game is hardly ever utilized or actually matters, that being the weight/health/size thing. As a result this also makes the gems or "collectibles" scattered around the levels mostly irrelevant except in rare cases. The game also has a scoring mechanic that serves essentially no purpose because there are no achievements for it and there are no score goals or leaderboards connected to it. If the game ever decided to introduce either IL score goals or a deathless type challenge, that would remedy the issue of the core mechanic and gems currently serving almost no real purpose. It would also massively increase replayability, I would strongly encourage the devs to do so. Overall though, in its current state, the game is just okay. I wouldn't put this anywhere near the top of your wishlist. but if you can catch it on a big sale or happen to find it in your library, its worth a play.5 found this helpful
Thanks Sleipner Games, very cool! My girlfriend has already forbidden herself from playing more because the game is too addictive! (Noob but still :) I'm also noob but it's fun anyway.4 found this helpful
The gameplay of this game flows super well and I have not encountered any bugs. The devs have done an awesome job on this one and deserve more visability and players enjoing this hidden gem! If you enjoy platformers this one wont dissapoint!2 found this helpful
Wonderful precision platformer. The health mechanic is unique and surprisingly impactful, the basic controls feel wonderful, and the level design is honestly superb. That this game is so unknown is an utter crime! Play it.1 found this helpful
Great game! Fans of Celeste and Super Meat Boy should enjoy Alkali! Interesting new mechanics, fun levels. Alkali is challenging but not over the top. I'm still working my way trying to complete the game but I recommend this game to anyone into precision platformers!1 found this helpful
