Short but sweet. Magicdweedo punches well above their weight in this weird little platformer. There's so much shit packed in here, and it's all of it bizzare. But it kind of jives together, and it does well not to overstay its welcome.
There isnt any particularly groundbreaking platforming, at its best it will remind you of VVVVVVV, but the real draw is the oddball design. It's absurd on a consistent level, with the straightforward platforming really the only constant and even that gets twisted a few times. The music all feels raw and chunky, on the whole the game feels like playing through an adult swim bumper. It's too short, it's dense but I would've liked to see this get pushed to even further extremes. For fans of Frog Fractions and the like.

Undertale innovates the JRPG style of video game by taking the shocking step of occasionally introducing actual gameplay mechanics. Previous games in the genre which Undertale borrows heavily from, such as Earthbound/Mother 3, flirted with this concept but dared not tread too far upon it lest players begin asking why they couldnt just get a bit more of this "gameplay" stuff. If indie games continue to suck this game off--which it deserves, as it has a pretty decent unit once you get the pants off--we might actually get to play actual video games again. I'm sure newer games like Omori will learn this key lesson from Undertale, and not just do a slightly different iteration on what is essentially Pokemon turn-based battle mechanics.
