Splasher Review

Splasher is a creative, fun, and competent 2D platformer. It takes a gimmick and runs with it as far as it possibly can in the best way possible. It keeps the player interested and the difficulty curve fair by slowly feeding new tools to change the environment and gameplay, ensuring the game stays fresh towards the end. It is, however, on the short end, and a special world with extremely challenging stages at the end of the game would not have hurt it at all. That said, when the only complaint is that the player is left wishing for more, even after a filling meal, it is a great testament to how good and solid Splasher truly is.

When someone mentions a particular genre, there are normally a few amazing games that come to mind. With platformers, we normally think of Super Meat Boy, LIMBO, Rayman Legends, or Braid. It’s incredibly hard to break into this top tier list, especially with the huge influx of games lately, but Splasher is making one hell of an argument for being added into the big league.
