Why players love itThings to know
59% of themes are praise33% are divided8% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
113 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Splasher is a vibrant and fast-paced 2D platformer developed by Splashteam and published by Dear Villagers that merges the precision of modern indie platformers with the creative energy of its own paint-based mechanics.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The learning curve is sharp but rewarding—each new mechanic layers onto the previous one, and by the midpoint of the game, the player is seamlessly chaining slides, bounces, wall jumps, and sprays in a way that feels almost balletic.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, Splasher adopts a colorful, cartoonish art style that perfectly complements its energetic tone.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And the control scheme makes quite a bit of sense (if you use controller, at least; I found it near unplayable on keyboard and I wouldn't recommend it regardless given how important aiming with the D-pad is).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music and sound design keep the pace fast and engaging, with an industrial-electronic soundtrack that suits the mechanical setting and adds to the urgency of the gameplay.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Game include also the rhythmic fine soundtrack, optymalizated system of difficulty and fun story.
