What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Squigley is a challenging precision platformer with an engaging core concept, but players consistently report frustration with poorly explained mechanics, inadequate checkpoint systems, and difficulty spikes that feel punishing rather than fair. While some appreciate the game's oddball charm and precision platforming when they can understand it, most reviewers find the learning curve and lack of player guidance make it more tedious than enjoyable. Players suggest this is only for those with significant patience and tolerance for trial-and-error gameplay.

I barely managed to complete the tutorial, and I still spawn back there to repeat it every time that I die. Where's my checkpoint!? The precision platforming seems alright, though a bit confusing how some of it works at first (I almost dropped the game out of sheer confusion on how to complete it due to some poorly explained mechanics). If you're a patient masochist, you might find more joy in discovering what this odd indie retro precision platformer has to offer but I've had enough of being punched in the *&$%.

Lots to admire but at the same time frustratingly counter-intuitive and confusing. Wanted to give it a fair shot but it gets more and more frustrating, and not in a good way.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
