Sights & Sounds
- Despite being over a decade old, the visual style of the game has held up well due to the smart artistic choices
- The music is fine, but nothing too memorable
- The rest of the sound design is similarly serviceable, if unremarkable
Story & Vibes
- Not much to the narrative for this one. You're an alien blob that's being experimented on by humans. Become huge and get your revenge
- The goofy little animated interludes and casual gameplay lend themselves well to the game's overall silly tone
Playability & Replayability
- It's a platformer without any really challenging elements. Just eat things to grow in size so you can eat bigger things
- None of the puzzles (if you can call them that) are very difficult
- There's occasionally enemies that can hurt you, but there's often enough objects lying around nearby for you to grow large enough to defend yourself
- The controls felt nice and responsive. I just wish there had been a few challenges to enjoy them with
Overall Impressions & Performance
- It ran extremely well on Steam Deck
- I played this mostly because I was interested in what Drinkbox was doing before the Guacamelee games. It's interesting to see how much more developed the gameplay and level design are in those games
Final Verdict
- 6/10. It's a fun little time-waster without much to it. I'd suggest waiting on a pretty deep discount, though, due to the short length, rudimentary story, and casual gameplay
