Reviews:
  • This is a title that has me a bit torn since it’s just a bit of an oddball. Visually it’s pretty cute, featuring little squared characters with all sorts of faces and sorts of mini personalities those faces imply. That makes it feel like it will be a light and sort of fun family affair. Well, but it really isn’t, and that’s both good and bad. What’s great is that when you go through the Story mode you’ll find there are all sorts of challenging stages to complete, overall featuring an odd mix of platforming, Pang-like vertical shooting that can involve splitting enemies, and a variety of other surprises. Completing these stages will slowly allow you to continue to grow your menagerie of unlocked characters to play with and open the door to even more levels with more Spitlings to unlock. You can then also opt for Party mode where you can play levels that vary from pretty basic to outright challenging with some friends. I’ll say that given my own arcade roots I actually enjoy what can be difficult stages you’ll hit along the way, though admittedly they vary a bit wildly up and down as you go. As I noted though the game’s aesthetics may turn away people who like tougher games, mistaking it for being easy, and people who are more casual may pick it up and be disappointed that it’s too tough. Just be sure you know what you’re getting into and take a look at it to decide whether it’s a fit for you.
