It would be impossible to play this game without the brightness set just right, and even then you’ll probably still stumble upon a problem or two. ![]() Exploring is made all the harder thanks to the odd layers in each stage that sometimes make you doubt what you can actually stand on. The design is such that you won’t often be able to dodge these sections, but that shouldn’t prove too much of a problem, as it’s the levels themselves that are against you. Platformer fans will tell you that there’s a natural feeling to the best entries in the genre, a ‘tightness’ that gives you control over your character, but that just doesn’t appear to be present here. It’s endlessly annoying to have to time a leap just right, and then to fall two or three levels downwards because you hit the jump button when you were too close to the edge of a ledge. The title’s most annoying moments will come from the disparity between what you want your putty to do and what he’ll actually do. You’ll occasionally be blocked by enemies that move both left and right (and sometimes even upwards), but for the most part there’s nothing too challenging outside of the act of actually exploring everything. The gameplay is simple: as a little blue blob of putty, you must collect all of the red splodges of goo and hurry to the green door that appears. It’s surprising, then, that this revamped PlayStation 4 version does little to stretch above and beyond its retro roots. Jump forward 15 years, and we no longer get excited by shapes (unless they’re naughty shapes and you’re a member of Reddit), or game logic.
