Super Squidlit

In conclusion, Super Squidlit was an enjoyable sequel to the original, and adding a save feature and more variety was enough to make an already fun experience even better with the more creative ideas here!

    The gameplay builds on the charm and simplicity of the original with added mechanics, varied level designs, and character dynamics, offering a fresh and engaging experience. While it introduces creative elements like swimming and shooter sections, some players find the gameplay slightly repetitive with limited enemy variety. Overall, it's a cute, satisfying sequel that balances new features with familiar, easy-to-understand mechanics.

    • “Wow, they really took the sequel to Squidlit to the next level, not just with color but with levels, bosses, and gameplay.”
    • “This is everything you could want from a sequel: the same charming character/dialogue writing and sweet world, but with lots of new gameplay mechanics, a longer runtime, and just a lot of cuteness.”
    • “Each level has its own set of enemies, its own music, and sometimes even a bit of a gameplay change, such as getting a space shooter section or having most of the level be underwater, which totally switches your controls around (in a good way! You're a squid, swimming comes naturally).”
    • “The gameplay is a little repetitive, with not much enemy variety, though there are a few gimmicks to try to spice it up, such as an autoscroller, a falling section using a first person view, or a boss fight.”
    • “I already mentioned swimming mechanics, and the first person shooter sections are somewhat divisive.”
    • “Maybe it was a bug, but even so, I think it'd be better if this mechanic was implemented in a third game: Squidlit 64.”
