How to play
- Move to make time run. Stand still and everything freezes, blobs and robots too.
- Tap or click a point to throw a paint blob there. Throws come back only while you move.
- Hit their blob with yours: both splash, and the splash pops every blob near it, a chain.
- A splash hurts every robot inside it, and you too. One touch is an Out: the room starts again.
- Clear every robot to clear the room. No Out and under par give the second and third stars.
Controls
- Phone or tablet: Your left thumb on the left pad walks (push further to go faster, and time runs faster); flick up or press JUMP to jump. Tap anywhere else to throw there. SWAP switches your two blobs. Hold the phone sideways.
- Mouse and keyboard: A D or the arrows run, W, Space or ↑ jump, the mouse aims (a dotted line shows the throw), click throws, right click, Q or E swaps blobs, Esc pauses.
- Keyboard alone: A D run, W or Space jump, F throws at the best target in sight, Q swaps blobs, Esc pauses.
- Gamepad: The left stick runs, A jumps, the right stick aims, the right trigger or right bumper throws, the left bumper swaps blobs, X throws at the best target.
Tips
- Aim at their blobs, not at the robot: a blob next to a robot pops into a splash that hurts it.
- Stand still to think. Nothing moves while you do, but your throws only come back while you walk.
- Look for blobs close together: one splash that reaches the next one keeps the chain going.
- A Shield turns to face you. Splash it from above or behind, or bounce a Bouncer off the wall.
About this game
Slow Step Shooter is a time-puzzle shooter with one rule: time moves only when you move. Stand still and the whole lab freezes, robots mid-shot and their paint blobs hanging in the air. Take a step and the world runs again, as fast as you do.

Every shot in the game, yours and theirs, is a slow paint blob. When one of your blobs touches one of theirs, both burst into a splash, and a splash pops every other blob it touches. So the best shot is rarely at a robot. It is into the middle of their frozen cloud of blobs: one tap, one step, and the splash runs from blob to blob until the whole room goes off in a single chain. The game snaps the frame of your biggest chain for your Gallery.
Getting there is the hard part. You have three throws and they come back only while you move. One touch of a blob, a splash or a robot and you are Out, back at the start of the room in an instant. Five worlds of eight rooms bring nine robot kinds: the Spitter, the Fan that throws three at once, the Orb's spinning ring, the Sprayer's sweep, the Shield you have to splash from behind, Drones, the Charger whose dash slows when you do, and two bosses, the Mixer and the Core. Unlock four new blobs as you go: the Splitter, the Bouncer, the Magnet and the big Glob.
Each room gives three stars: clear it, clear it without an Out, and beat the par time on the world clock. Play the Daily Gauntlet, the same eight rooms for everyone each day with three hearts, try the Weekly Cup's twelve rooms, or pass one device back and forth in the two-player Relay.
