[h1] Unique visuals, casual gameplay, quite the feat coming from a one-man dev “team”. [/h1] [b]Pros[/b] -Unique visuals -Easy-going, laid-back gameplay thanks to the generous checkpoints -More or less reasonable price point [b]Cons[/b] -Lack of music other than the menu and select few occasions -Lack of ‘Settings’ menu -More fluid controls would be welcome (ie. cancelling grapple animation) -Screen vibration is killer -No pause only restart or quit to menu -Short [u] Schmutznik is a treat for the eyes and offers a mild but just about fun enough gameplay experience despite it’s shortcomings. While the total playtime you’re getting out of it is expected to be just shy of the 2 hour mark, at the 10 euro price point I’d say that’s a mostly fair proposition if for no other reason than at the very least to support and honour the creativity and the immense amount off work that has had to go into bringing this vision to life as a solo developer.

pretty good, and unique graphics

A cute hand crafted art style hides a relatively challenging and creative platformer.

Schmutznik needs recognition NOW! This solo project is so creative and so fun, that I implore you to try it and review it for others. No reviews since October? This is an outrage I've always been amused by claymation, and now it's mixed with indie 2d platformer hijinks and some pretty delightful sound effects/mechanics. The puzzles are challenging and surpass any doubts about precision. Highly recommended for Twitch players or platformer nuts. It's like bubble-wrap being squished into two-dimensional clay spaghetti. Try it! If you want to see some personal gameplay, I have posted a video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dxzZnzH93Is

I had such a fun time in this play-doh world! I'm a big fan of platformers and my favorite mechanic in this game was the inability to make big jumps. In most platformers you look forward to some kind of dash or double jump but this game is more cerebral in a good way. I don't always have the most accurate control over movement but being able to think about trajectories (almost like in billiards) made me feel powerful. The controls are simple but it's making assumptions about your environment and testing those assumptions that makes this game so fun to discover. Even more so, you're racing against a clock (but a reasonable amount of time on the clock) because the environment is toxic for your character, so planning movement that is efficient is key.
