We have quite enjoyed the games released by developer ChinyKian over the years, starting with the frantic “fall down" platformer Serious Scramblers in late 2018 and then the extremely polished one-button platformer Jump Jerboa which was released in late 2021 and earned our coveted at that time. Now this self-described “mostly solo" developer is gearing up to release another new title called A Slight Chance of Sawblades, but don’t let that name fool you: The chances of sawblades here are anything but slight. In fact, I’d say they’re 100%. Here your goal is to avoid a menagerie of sawblades for as long as possible by jumping, double-jumping, and wall-jumping around an enclosed arena. Here’s the trailer for A Slight Chance of Sawblades.
You can definitely feel a connection between all three of ChinyKian’s games which are all variations of some form of platforming. Interestingly, this is sort of a rebirth of an older ChinyKian game that I loved back in 2016 called . I enjoyed the heck out of that game but it featured a healthy amount of ads and no IAP to remove them, so despite liking the game a whole lot I hardly ever played it because of that. I don’t believe that will be the case when A Slight Chance of Sawblades launches this coming Wednesday, as Chiny’s more recent games all have an ad-removal option. If you’d like to pre-order this one ahead of release you can do so as well as the for Android.
