Slider, known in Japan as Skweek (スクウィーク), is an action game for various home computers by Loriciel. It was ported to the Sega Game Gear by Victor Musical Industries and published by Sega.

Gameplay

The objective of Slider is to move Slider across 99 levels, turning all of the floor tiles pink in a given amount of time. Enemies continously spawn from nests, and Slider can dispatch them with projectiles fired with . Bonuses frequently appear across the map, and hitting an enemy, falling off the screen or failing to clear the stage in time causes the player to lose a life.

The Game Gear version of Slider differs slightly from its home computer counterparts, with levels scrolling horizontally rather than vertically. Also collecting all four Teddy Bears grants lives in this version, whereas in the original it acts another means of finishing a stage.

Tiles

	Starting point
	A special tile to point out where Slider has begun on the map.
	Floor tiles
	Blue and green floor tiles can be changed pink by walking over them.
	Walls
	In the Game Gear game, all walls are solid objects that can never be removed.
	Ice
	Causes Slider to keep moving in one direction until he overlaps a different type of tile.
	One-way
	Attempts to force Slider to travel in one direction. If going against the arrow, Slider will slow down, but going with it will cause him to speed up.
	Enemy nest
	Constantly spawns enemies.
	Blue boom
	Causes both itself and the eight surrounding tiles to disappear after a short period.
	Green boom
	Kills all the enemies currently on-screen.

	Disappears when stepped on.
	Shortcut
	Allows Slider to fast travel to another shortcut tile if is pressed.
