Red Game Without A Great Name
When a game can use a simplistic mechanic and get so much out of it, as well as carving out its own look and feel, it deserves credit.

“The teleportation mechanic itself is very straightforward.”
“It's very minimalist and simplistic, which actually helps with the gameplay.”
“The soundtrack is enjoyable, the gameplay is simple and quite fun.”
“Visually attractive 2D game where you play as a mechanical homing bird, but the controls were oftentimes clunky and frustrating.”
“Anyways, it's a cute little game with pretty visuals, but it's that kind of rinse-and-repeat gameplay that requires you to die again and again until you memorize the patterns and understand how to avoid the death traps. It can get boring after a while, unless you play it occasionally.”
“That's all I can say about the gameplay really, because that's more or less all there is to it.”

There is no shortage of quality games to play - covering a wide range of genres, styles and just about any other criteria you could ask for - in the Switch eShop library. Red Game Without a Great Name ends up being disappointing, then, as you'll likely become frustrated with its occasionally inconsistent touch-based controls, along with its initially cool but repetitive mechanic and devilish level design. It attempts to hide its flaws behind some stylish yet derivative silhouette designs and some pretty cool jazz tunes. In the end, though, we have an average game with a bad name.
