The gameplay of "Squidlit" is characterized by its simplicity and charm, drawing inspiration from classic Game Boy titles. While the mechanics revolve around basic platforming and ink-based attacks, many players find the experience enjoyable despite its short duration of around 30-45 minutes. However, some critiques highlight a lack of depth and variety, with the gameplay feeling repetitive and not fully realizing its potential.
“The gameplay feels solid and intuitive (more or less, there was a boss that had me confused for a minute) and the aesthetics of the game are pretty nice.”
“It’s a fun little romp as a cephalopod with well done gameplay, good writing and decent boss fights.”
“The simplicity keeps the game simple, yet challenging at times and there was plenty of variety in enemy types, and gameplay that I never got bored, even during my fourth playthrough.”
“Unfortunately, Squidlit completely fails to deliver on any gameplay potential.”
“Since both the gameplay and the story aren't interesting and there are no achievements and no registered scores in any way, there is really no reason why you would play this game.”
“It's not a very long or mechanically deep game.”
