Finished Well Dweller!
Haven't been in a good mood for gaming but could not pass a new Kyle Thompson release. It's another short, cute, very polished and clever metroidvania - it's incredible it was almost entirely done by a single person.
I loved the unique moveset in this game where instead of the usual double-jump the game lets you throw and "stick" your weapon in walls and use it like a springboard, with quite a few interesting plataforming puzzles using this mechanic. Controls are perfect, art and music are fantastic, and the game has excellent pacing. Performance-wise there's some frame drops on the Switch 1 but they are rare and don't interfere with gameplay.
Another great thing is how it's one of those games that respect your time. Equipment to see secret passages? One of the first you'll find in the game. Fast travel? Unlocks early on and lets you move to any save you've found. Stuck or can't find that one missing item? You can buy hints in your home base. It's all optional so if you prefer a more old-school experience you can just skip these features, but I love that they are available.
That was quick! The game just released. I have the trailer open but didn't get around to posting it yet, and you have already finished the game!
Glad to see it's another good one.
Kyle's recent games are around ~10h, I bought it launch day and played pretty much every night after that. Ended up finishing it thursday right before going to sleep.
That's a pretty good length. I was expecting 2-4 hours from your speed.
Sheep is ~4h, the following games are longer.
