Completely Stretchy

Completely Stretchy is such an aggressively mediocre game, that i really can't recommend it at it's current price (or any price really). It relies on one mechanic, the stretchy arm (which is for all intents and purposes a grapple) which completely fails to be utilised to it's fullest extent. The maps barely accommodate for it, being mostly long and somewhat flat, instead of very vertical which would allow for the grapple mechanic to shine through, and the world is not very interactable either, most objects are static and can't be moved by the player, nor are there any quests which require the player to grab distant objects and manipulate them. Now this could be forgiven of course if the rest of the game made up for it, but it does not. The story is so bland and non-existent that i honestly couldn't even tell you what it was about in this review (and i just finished the game). The same can be said for the NPCs, the game even has the gall to throw a random NPC name at you in the final mission, and expect you to be like "Oh yeah that guy let's go find him" when they are all completely bland, one-liner uninteresting characters (even calling them characters is a stretch).

Very goofy and generally good fun

Pretty fun.

9/10 A visually stunning work of gaming. Very Dr. Seuss feeling world, which is extremely rare to see. Very fun and funny puzzle, exploration game. The dialogue is incredibly well done and every character has their own personality. The stretch mechanic had absolutely no right to be as good as it was and was very fun to use. It only gets a point off because there are a few glitches, specifically with the monorail. The first time I played I got stuck in the starting area for an hour because I thought I was doing something wrong, it was a bug. It was replicated on my second playthrough and disabled the ability to get the achievement on the first run since it got locked. Overall though, I thoroughly enjoyed the game and hope to see more in the future.

Basically a walking sim with a grapple hook! Janky but definitely workable physics, an annoying Where's Waldo bit, and vehicle controls that...certainly exist. It's a fun little goober of a game overall.

good
