Slider's speedrun achievements are really good puzzles, and I highly recommend figuring out the routing yourself before consulting this guide. If you're really struggling (or just don't feel like it), read on!
General Tips
  1. Speedrunning Slider is unlike most other game speedruns. Slider is extremely route heavy, but don't be fooled - there's still a moderate skill ceiling for execution. It took me a few tries to get village sub-3.
  2. You can queue moves in a chain; you don't have to wait for moves to finish executing in the UI. Use this when you have a long sequence of moves to make.
  3. Moving sliders takes time. Try to walk while sliders are moving.
  4. You can skip dialogue by pressing [interact].
  5. I play with mouse and keyboard, so the move sequences are optimized for that control scheme.
  6. Don't worry about following the move layout exactly. The moves in parentheses are suggestions!
  7. There's no easy way to tell your current elapsed time in game, so try getting livesplit. I heard rumors that there are plans to integrate livesplit into the game in the future.
  8. I found a good 8-puzzle solver online[tristanpenman.com].
Position Graph
Notation
  • 4 -> 5: move slider 4 to position 5
  • 3 -> 5 (3 -> 6, 6 -> 5): move slider 3 to position 5, using the individual moves suggested in the parentheses.
