Splasher
SCORE: 63
I am pleased Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital download code
for Splasher on the Playstation 4. This downloadable only video game can
also be found on the Nintendo Switch, Personal Computer, and Xbox One. I
found no information on a physical copy version of Splasher in my
research for this review. Splasher is a 2D side scrolling puzzle
platformer speedrunner with paint mechanics.
Before you get all Splatoon on me, let me explain a bit more about the
paint mechanics in Splasher. Paint can be sprayed on surfaces. Red is
sticky and lets us walk on the ceiling for example. Yellow allows us to
bounce off of the surface we paint. You will go flying with yellow and
probably hope you are in a submarine. Paint can also be washed off.
The music in Splasher is nice. The graphics look good for an indie game.
The game play in Splasher can be fun. I should warn you though, expect a
challenge from this digital download. Few gamers will breeze through
Splasher. There is a casual version in Splasher which removes the timer,
and slows down the saws. Even with those adjustments Splasher can be
challenging at times.
Splasher abuses bulls. This game has a common theme with little bulls.
We have to wash bulls off paint they are stuck to and have them fall to
their death. I do not know what the developer has against bulls, but
they are killed frequently in this game that has some blood and violent
content. The two modes in Splasher are time attack and standard mode.
The physics in Splasher can feel strange at first. Like jumping around
saws on the walls. I do not know why it was set up this way, but it was.
I had to press toward the saw to go around it. I thought I should press
away, up, and then toward. There are two types of collectibles in
Splasher. We can save scientists or spray yellow in certain spots. The
whole spraying yellow paint felt weird to me.
