If you have recently been on YouTube and Facebook, you may have come across ASMR videos. These are videos of people doing visually pleasing activities, like a clean slice of pie, or perfectly laid brickwork. Whatever the content, the main purpose behind it is to create a sense of relaxation. Building on this trend, ASMR slicing, brings the experience right into your hands!
What is ASMR Slicing?
ASMR Slicing is a game that attempts to induce ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) in the players. The game is simple and calming. It involves using a knife to gently slice through different shapes of kinetic sand. Kinetic sand, as you may have seen online, has a very pleasing way of being sliced.
The slicing is accompanied by gentle physical vibrations on your device, as well as sounds. (make sure your phone volume is turned up).
The first couple of levels simply have you enjoy the art of slicing kinetic sand. As you advance through the game, you receive different goals for different levels; for example, ‘slice the object into 4 portions only’.

Special tips to avoid Ads!
These types of games are usually riddled with popup ads that ruin the continuity of the gameplay. If you are like us, and do not like constantly being interrupted by ads, use the following tips below.
- Turn off the Internet: Video ads require an active internet connection to stream. By turning off your Internet, the ads will not be able to load. Even if they try to open and stream, you will be able to press the ‘back button’ on your device and immediately skip them.
- Use the home button to skip the Ad: If you need to keep your internet on, there is still a way to skip the intrusive ads. When an ad pops up, quickly press the home button on your device to minimize the game. Then launch the game again, by clicking on its icon. This will cause the ad to skip, and you can continue on to the next level!
