8 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is praised for effectively utilizing existing mechanics while removing some previously criticized elements, such as spiders laying eggs and a time limit, which players found annoying. However, there is a notable criticism regarding a specific spider-related mechanic that lacks proper explanation, making it challenging for players to engage with certain bonus levels. Overall, the gameplay offers a solid experience, albeit with some minor instructional shortcomings.
“They show how much this game has to offer with the same existing mechanics.”
“The one sole criticism I have is that one particular mechanic (a spider-related move) is never properly explained, yet required for a few bonus levels.”
“There are two mechanics that weren't implemented (spiders laying eggs + the 'time limit' thing from original level 52), but those mechanics were kind of annoying and dumb anyway, and I personally am glad to see them gone.”
