  • story28 mentions

    The game's story is described as unique and enjoyable, featuring a pig with amnesia on a quest to reunite with his family, which adds depth compared to other indie platformers. However, some players feel the narrative is stretched too long, with parts easily missed and not revisitable, and there are calls for a more focused sequel. The story concludes on a cliffhanger, adding a bittersweet note due to the passing of a team member before the game's release.

    • “Great game with a great story!”
    • “The story is strange but also funny and enjoyable, and it adds a lot more depth to the game than other indie platformers where you just grind through levels, not knowing why.”
    • “Along the levels, you follow a story about Mr. Bree traveling through the forest to get back to his family.”
    • “Much like Meat Boy, though, the story is near-irrelevant fluff meant to tie certain worlds together.”
    • “The story is decent, though I felt that it lacked something.”
    • “The whole pretext of the story is a pig waking up with amnesia after escaping from a slaver, and he has forgotten most of his basic skills.”
  • gameplay28 mentions

    Gameplay is generally enjoyable with a fast-paced feel and a variety of mechanics, but it suffers from a frustrating wall jump mechanic that many players find unforgiving. While the game features generous checkpoints and a unique mood-changing mechanic upon death, the boss fights are considered lackluster and repetitive. Overall, the gameplay is a mixed bag, with some innovative elements overshadowed by technical issues and design flaws.

    • “Mr. Bree balances the hardcore nature of the gameplay with very generous checkpoints.”
    • “With the changing mood, great soundtrack, level-based metroidvania-esque mechanics, and tens of levels and collectibles, this game will not leave you cold.”
    • “The levels are generally pretty nice, with a lot of mechanics and decent variety.”
    • “The wall jump mechanic is just ridiculously unforgiving and difficult to use.”
    • “The 2 boss fights in the game are okay, but don't feel too fun because of their boring mechanics that are reused between both of them.”
    • “New mechanics are introduced in a counterintuitive manner - the wall jump, for example, is acquired in a tight space with no way to try it out immediately.”
