    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in Squidlit 64 is praised for its simplicity and charm, featuring diverse levels with unique enemies and music, as well as engaging mechanics like swimming and first-person shooter sections. However, some players find the gameplay somewhat repetitive due to limited enemy variety, despite the inclusion of various gimmicks to enhance the experience. Overall, the game offers a cute and satisfying experience with easy-to-understand mechanics and enjoyable character dynamics.

    • “The gameplay is great in its simplicity.”
    • “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).”
    • “Very cute and satisfying gameplay with easy-to-understand mechanics, lots of little encounters to have with random NPCs along the way.”
    • “The gameplay is a little repetitive, not much enemy variety, though there are a few 'gimmicks' to try to spice it up, such as an autoscroller, or a falling section that uses this 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.”

    • “While the characters are interesting, the plot is predictable and fails to engage.”
