(GS). The reviews seemed quite generous, and the clearance rate for the achievements showed that most players were able to finish everything, if they were interested enough. I suppose that should have been a sign it was on the easier side, as a bit of difficulty greatly diminishes how many people pick up those achievements. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] From what I saw on the store page and reviews, I expected a fairly challenging platformer, including death-defying secrets to really amp up the difficulty. In reality, this is a pretty easy platforming game, as enemies don't even kill you in the conventional sense. Instead, you get kicked around and knocked back if you collide into them. Additionally, all you can do is jump and bounc…

Un juego cariñoso y más desafiante de lo que parece a un inicio. Se disfrutan y agradecen todos los guiños a otros videojuegos <3

If you spent your youth playing platformers on the Amiga, and coverdisk demos of platformers, you'll feel right at home with this game. The art style is very similar to the standard amiga 32 colours graphics, but also the gameplay, which is simple and doesn't overstay its welcome, but still very sophisticated and polished. The levels can get annoying sometimes, mostly due to some segments that require repetition, but it never lasts for too long. Which is a sign of well managed difficulty. I finished everything and I don't regret anything [h1](follow my curator page [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33882793/]GenXPlayers[/url] for more retro and indie reviews)[/h1]

The game is absolutely fantastic! It features a 5×5 grid of main levels, a boss fight, and then another set of 2×5 bonus stages. There’s a cute Celeste easter egg tucked away, but 'Go Slimey Go!' is far more forgiving: the only mechanic you really need is a single jump. That doesn’t mean it’s easy, though. I’d put its difficulty somewhere close to 'Kaze and the Wild Masks'. The music and the gorgeous pixel art? Easy 10 out of 10. It took me just over six hours to get 100% completion — but I’ve got loads of platformer experience. If you're new to the genre, this game is actually a perfect fit: no timer, and checkpoints are nicely spaced out. The platforming itself is fairly straightforward (well… most of the time). The real challenge for 100% lies in collecting everything on every level — and that’s trickier than it sounds, thanks to the secret rooms :) Highly recommend!

[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43083373/]Clever games curator review: 8/10[/url]. This is a delightfully simple puzzle platformer. All you have to do, or rather all you *can* do, is collect all of the trinkets. Yet the clever interplay between enemy movement and platform layout makes many of those trinkets surprisingly tricky to grab. Beyond the obvious "coins" there are also hidden areas and objects that add an extra layer of challenge for players who want to dig deeper, but they’re entirely optional. You’ll need both wits and reflexes to figure out how to collect everything. I love how the game takes a very simple concept, hardly more complex than classic Super Mario Bros., and turns it into a legitimate puzzle platformer. The graphics are also delightful, with a style reminiscent of many Sega Genesis games. One especially notable aspect is how streamlined the controls are: there are literally only two inputs, directional movement and jump, and nothing more. It’s impressive how much mileage the game gets out of such a simple input scheme. I really enjoyed this and look forward to playing more. Highly recommended.
