Slime Laboratory 3

Slime Laboratory 3, you control a squishy green blob as it makes its way through a series of platforming challenges. The aim is to reach the exit while picking up the floppy disks hidden around each level. The ice makes movement a little tricky, so rushing ahead isn't always the best idea. Take your time, find a safe route, and see if you can get your slime out in one piece.

A New Adventure on an Ice Planet

The frozen setting gives this third instalment a different feel from the earlier adventures. Slippery surfaces make it harder to judge your movements, and even a simple jump can take a bit of practice. Your slime can stretch and squash as it moves, which adds to the fun of guiding it through narrow spaces and awkward sections.

Some parts are easy to get through, while others need a little patience. If you enjoy exploring levels and finding your way around obstacles, Graffiti Time is another game you might like. It has a different setting, with city streets to explore and graffiti to create.

Don't Leave the Floppy Disks Behind

Getting to the exit is important, but there's more to do than simply reach the end. Floppy disks are scattered throughout the levels, and collecting them adds another goal to each run. Some are right along your route, while others may need a little extra effort to reach.

It's worth checking your surroundings before moving on. A quick look around could reveal a disk you would otherwise miss. And if you fancy a break from platforming, Air Hockey Go offers a completely different challenge where quick reactions make all the difference.

Slime Laboratory 3 Controls

You only need the arrow keys to control the slime:

• Left Arrow: Move left
• Right Arrow: Move right
• Up Arrow: Jump
• Down Arrow: Move down

The controls are easy to pick up, but getting used to the slippery movement takes a little practice. Make small adjustments when approaching an obstacle instead of holding a direction and hoping for the best.

A Few Tips Before You Start

• Watch your speed: Ice can make it difficult to stop exactly where you want.
• Time your jumps: Look at the gap before jumping rather than making a last-second move.
• Collect the disks: Check side paths and corners before heading to the exit.
• Learn the level: If you miss a jump, try changing your timing on the next attempt.

Once you've had enough of the icy platforming, you could switch things up with Mine Cartoon: Cube World, where you can explore a blocky world. Or, if you'd rather build something, Build Your Dream Car gives you a chance to create your own dream vehicle.

What to Play After Slime Laboratory 3

Fancy something less focused on jumping and collecting? Head over to Papa's Burgeria and take charge of a burger restaurant. You'll be preparing orders and trying to keep customers happy.

You can also step into the ice cream business in Papa's Freezeria. It has a different kind of challenge, with customers to serve and frozen treats to prepare.
