Melbits™ World

Strange game. The intro story is unnecessary and confusing because the actual game is a very simple, Lemmings-like, one-button couch coop game. That's fine for a few minutes with kids...but not worth the price of admission.

[i] My Experience [/i] Although we haven't finished [b]Melbits™ World[/b] quite yet, I think I've seen enough to competently review it. First off, I must call attention to what developer Melbot refers to as the game's "kawaii aesthetics." The game is filled with pastels and bright, bubbly music, and you can dress up the Melbits™ that you navigate each level with hats, bowties, poofy tails, etc. At the conclusion of each level you get to watch your Melbits™ dance, and this never failed to elicit an "oh my god they're so cute!" from my co-op partner.

These adorable beings represent positive digital energy, spreading harmony throughout the internet and technological systems. However, their world is constantly threatened by corrupted data and hostile digital entities that disrupt this balance. Players take on the role of protectors who must guide the Melbits across hazardous environments, ensuring they avoid o…
