Overview
Softboiled is a precision platformer that puts you in the shell of a fragile egg. Developed and published by Slimak Software, this single-player title launched on Steam on October 19, 2026.
The game strips platforming down to its essentials: you roll, you balance, and you try not to crack. There's no jumping, no double-jump, no grappling hook—just you, gravity, and a course designed to punish the slightest misstep.
Highlights
- Physics-Based Movement: Every roll and tilt is governed by realistic physics, making each movement feel weighty and deliberate.
- Brutal Obstacle Courses: Narrow paths and unforgiving drops await, with checkpoints available to mark your progress—or you can skip them if you're feeling bold.
- Simple Controls, Deep Challenge: Use Arrow Keys, WASD, or the Left Stick to roll. That's it. The difficulty comes from mastering momentum and precision, not from complex inputs.
Who It's For
If you enjoy games that test your patience and precision—think of titles like Celeste or Super Meat Boy, but with a physics twist—Softboiled will likely appeal to you. It's also a great pick for players who appreciate minimalist design and a quirky premise.
The game supports multiple languages, including English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, making it accessible to a global audience.
