Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
15 of 61 sampled reviews raised it
If you're looking for a game that you can play for an hour or two and enjoy those hours with some good humor, reasonable shoot em up type gameplay, and some nice exploration and backtracking in the metroidvania genre, then Pear Potion is for you.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
7 of 61 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is simple but effective in keeping movement to the horizontal axis, which leads to some hard choices in some of the bigger combat set pieces.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
7 of 61 sampled reviews raised it
All the core mechanics here are executed with confidence, and the difficulty curve is just about right; the bosses are definitely significantly harder than the rest of the game, but overall the challenge level feels appropriate.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
6 of 61 sampled reviews raised it
The dialogue writing is excellent, I only wish I had more of it, and perhaps a few central characters could have more lines.
