    The story mode offers a linear progression through increasingly challenging levels framed by simple, comic-style storytelling that lacks subtitles, making the narrative somewhat unclear. It provides additional replay value with timed challenges unlocking harder variants called "b-side" stages, which are notably difficult. While the story mode is engaging and fun, its narrative depth is limited, and its appeal seems stronger in multiplayer or party settings.

    • “You’ll probably want to start out playing through Spitlings’ story mode, which has you complete a linear list of levels introducing various gameplay elements while gradually ramping up the difficulty.”
    • “This gameplay is framed by a simple story told through short comics you unlock after completing certain worlds, providing some nice diversion.”
    • “While the story’s later levels are already quite challenging, these so-called b-side stages quickly become nail-bitingly hard and will certainly put friendships to the test in multiplayer mode.”
    • “Besides a story mode (really not sure what is going on, some subtitles would be nice – you have to guess by watching some cartoon).”
    • “Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.”
    • “While there are a couple of levels unique to this mode, most of them are taken from the story mode, being unlocked once you’ve beaten them there.”

    The graphics feature a clean, crisp, and polished 2D art style that fits the gameplay well, reminiscent of titles like Pico Park and Inversus. However, some find the visuals simplistic and low-effort, comparable to casual flash or mobile games, which may feel underwhelming for a PC game audience expecting more visually impressive graphics.

    • “Graphically, Spitlings features a crisp, clean art style perfectly fit for the gameplay.”
    • “Reminds me of Pico Park, and has the aesthetics of Inversus.”
    • “Fast game with modern-day graphics and easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on.”
    • “The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort flash/browser games and mobile apps.”
    • “While they're clean and polished graphics, they're really simplistic and come across as a bit low effort.”
    • “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

    The gameplay is fast-paced and challenging, combining simple mechanics with increasing difficulty through varied levels and unique components across multiple worlds. It features a linear story mode with comic-style storytelling, keeping the experience fresh and engaging. While the mechanics are fun and reminiscent of classic games, the demanding precision required can sometimes feel frustrating.

    • “A fast-paced party platformer taking simple gameplay and creating nail-biting challenges from it.”
    • “Three of these packs make up one of 12 worlds, each of which introduces unique gameplay components, which very much keeps things fresh and creates a nice difficulty curve.”
    • “Goofy mechanics + demanding perfection = annoying.”
    • “It has some mechanics similar to that of the old game Bubble Trouble where big balls bounce around the area and when you shoot them, they split and divide into smaller pieces.”
    • “You’ll probably want to start out playing through Spitlings’ story mode, which has you complete a linear list of levels introducing various gameplay elements while gradually ramping up the difficulty.”
