Sigil

Jabba1701 on TouchArcade discovered the Sigil on the game's 88th level. u/TobiasPak brought it to GameDetectives' attention.

Players can find the Sigil at Level 88, when loading the shake at full speed.

The green bars in each stage of the level are morse code, which spell out "ARCHUSB".

Walkthrough

  1. Reach level 88 in Slide the Shakes
  2. Max out the power meter, as a result the screen will zoom out to show you more of the scene.
  3. The sigil can be seen on the bottom right side of the screen.

Piece

Arch USB referred to a location in LA where the same developer had hidden a USB for an ARG for their previous game: Land Sliders.

Upon checking the same location that had an arch, user /u/mutanoman found the USB titled PRETTYGREAT and posted the puzzle piece that was on it (file name was slide.jpg).
