Great little experience, but it falls short of what it could have been. Feels like it's over before it starts. It gradually introduces you to its mechanics, but once it introduces all of them, you only get one level wherein you get to utilize them all. The result is that most of the game feels like a tutorial, and it never really puts you to the test in any way. Still, what is here is great, and wholly unique. This is my first Blendo game and I'm very impressed and will definitely be checking out more from them.

This does one of my favourite things, and that is allowing you to bumble like a fool until you do a run so smoothly that you feel like a genius.

There's nothing quite like seeing a puzzle before you that would have taken a good 5 or 10 minutes of planning when you had started out, and now you're just throwing out gadgets and calmly typing commands into the deck to execute actions remotely like you were born holding a keyboard. Nothing else can elicit that self-satisfaction.

BLENDO Games was basically a fave dev after Gravity Bone and Thirty Flights of Loving. This fully cements that. I cannot wait to see what Skin Deep has to offer.
