A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Slime Switch. Sonic the Hedgehog launched in 1991 and turned speed itself into a defining platform-game mechanic. The timeline takes another interesting turn: The first crossword puzzle book appeared in 1924 in a cautious initial printing of 3,600 copies, complete with a free pencil. So a round of Slime Switch is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer platform games timeline.
