Mullins' second installment in the "Satan gets into Gamedev" saga.
Essentially, the game is a mixture of different games into one semi-cohesive but detached story. One moment you'll be playing a platformer, then a fighting game, then a whole turn-based RPG; all with meta commentaries throughout (using YOUR Steam friends!).
Gameplay Rating Average: 7.5/10
A lot of the gameplay sections are a little basic, but it really shines in it's diversity. Every section takes a little getting used to, but once you do figure it out, it becomes pretty satisfying; this is especially true for the latter half of the games, so I'll give a review on each section of the game.
Super Weasel Kid: It's a basic platformer game, clearly based off of Mario, Sonic, all that. It's pretty ok, gets worse as it goes but that's intentional. 8/10
Combat Arena X: Feels really gimmicky and clunky, much like a flash game fighter, but still janky. 7/10
Secrets of Legendaria: It's a fun RPG and there's a surprise gimmick that makes it pretty cool. 9/10
Waste World: An SRPG that's basically modded to have a cheat engine; so you have to carefully balance your cheat use to go through every level. 9/10
Vicious Galaxy: THE highlight of the game. A top-down shoot-em-up that suddenly has a pretty damn impressive twist and fun puzzle sections. 10/10
Walk: It's meant to be shitty but... it's a little too shitty. 2/10
Story Rating: 8/10
It's super intriguing, but man is it a pain in the ass to explain. It's best to play Pony Island prior to this, since it provides a little bit more context (and I mean LITTLE). I don't want to spoil anything about the story, but it's not bad at all.
Colorblind Test: A
I don't recall there being an issue with being colorblind in this game; maybe a few switches in Vicious Galaxy but the wires are indication enough.
Overall, yeah, good game.
