Mask Up

Don't judge this game purely on it's amusingly janky spritework! Mask Up is a -surprisingly- deep roguelike with a ton of secrets and masks to find. I went in expecting a night's worth of meme entertainment, and was gifted with more replayability than most games at this price point. The goo your body is made of can take a variety of forms, and each have their quirks to controlling them. You might be used to scooting along as a small pile of squish, then find yourself too tall take the same path in Man form later. Your goo is your health, ammo, money, even a movement cost, so runs can end real quick before you get the hang of schmoovin' your yellow self around efficiently. I've barely uncovered a 1/4th of the masks in the game, had a great time doing it. The alternate scoring modes add some run variety as well. If punching everything in the face gets too easy for you, try only retaliating against enemies that damaged you, only attacking to the left, or not killing anything at all!

A hidden gem that has more content than meets the eye. At first glance, this game may seem like an average $5 meme indie game, but after a few hours of playing, you will see what I am talking about. Mask Up is a not-traditional-rogue-like action platformer game where you play as a being that is made out of yellow juice. You can collect juice by breaking cans and by damaging and killing enemies. Your juice is your health, money, attack and movement costs, everything. You have 3 forms (and a 4th secret one), and your form is determined by the amount of juice you have. Every form has unique attacks and movement options. In an action platformer like Mask Up, this changes everything. This means you have to master 3 different movesets in order to get far in this game. The game also features a shop where you can buy items with your juice. Some items are very useful (tip: sabre is op) and can save your life many times. There are also 71 masks you can unlock. Some of them are easy, some of them are extremely cryptic (contact me if you know how to get the [spoiler]bomb mask[/spoiler]), and some of them are mostly RNG. Did I also mention the hidden mechanics such as [spoiler]the Dark Shop, c…

I haven't played that much yet but it was everything I was hoping for by the steam page and I feel this game is a bit very underrated so I was dying to give this a review. So, this is kind of a first impressions review still. This game has a STRONG visual identity, the art style is super charming and eye catching, definitely different from so much I’ve seen and it's so vivid by its vibrant colors (I love colors). The animations feels very natural and fluid, I can see so much care and love put into this, I also would like to point out the menus, they also carry on all of this I said previously, it continues on and even adds to the visual identity being kind of scribbly, or more accurately flashy style, and I absolutely adore it. A fun easy to learn but hard to master mechanics system, it has a ton of different stuff that adds to the gameplay like the traffic lights that was a very neat addition I haven't seen in other games at least of what I can recall. It's very creative, it has a lot to do and it's very fun, I felt myself getting better every run and I'll certainly play more. 10/10 you can pet the dog
