Sizeable

Sizeable in the grand scheme of things is a very well-crafted game. There has been a lot of work and effort put in to ensure this small project is packed densely with great ideas. The core mechanic, whilst simple in execution, is used to achieve an impressive array of effects, which make for some entertaining puzzles. The length of the game may disappoint some, but with the game sitting at an equally bite-sized price, I would encourage those interested to absolutely check it out anyway.

    • “The gameplay itself is probably around 2 hours, and for the price (on sale) it offers an amazing deal.”
    • “For others seeking a deeper or more mechanically demanding puzzle experience, it may feel like a fleeting diversion rather than a full journey.”

    • “The trailers show exactly what to expect: there isn't a story or a crazy gameplay twist, but there doesn't need to be.”
