One Minute Non-Review of Splodey. It's not for me.
LAG's score - ?/10
I can't review Splodey properly, but I CAN tell you I hated it after 20 minutes of play. Splodey is a "trap game" for me, I like the aesthetic, story, graphics and details - games like Super Meat Boy, Celeste or VVVVV, but the gameplay is too frustrating or hard for me to keep going.
With Splodey though, that difficulty wall came shockingly early - on Stage 17, where even watching a speedrunner, he had problems in the exact same spot - So it seemed almost random when he was able to make it through the puzzle.
Some platformers, like Mutant Mudds are forgiving enough for me to fight through the pain - Splodey was too much frustration too quickly, and I'll move on to the next title. If you like this style of game and the extreme challenge that comes along with it, you may enjoy it - everything else seemed fine. It's just not for me.
