How it feels

A bright, playful homage to Game Boy Color-era platformers with bouncy movement, quirky characters, and lighthearted combat.

What players say

Players say Super Squidlit improves on the original with more variety, longer length, and a wall-bounce dash, but the first-person shooter sections are widely criticized as poorly controlled and frustrating, especially on keyboard. The writing stays cute and the retro Game Boy Color aesthetic charms most, though some miss the simpler focus of the first game.
