    Retro graphics, check. A certain old-school arcade simplicity and brutality, check. A budget price, sure. Gutwhale gets some things right, and I suppose isn’t truly horrible, but there’s just no joy in its setup involving you trying to survive level after level having to pick up and bullet you shoot and dodge enemies.

Gutwhale gets some things right, and I suppose isn’t truly horrible, but there’s just no joy in its setup involving you trying to survive level after level having to pick up and bullet you shoot and dodge enemies. In particular, being dropped to the next floor often seems to leave everything to chance so any run feels like it could end at any time simply on the random luck of where you drop and what sort of enemies are there. There’s just not much here to latch onto to eke out enjoyment, it’s just there determined to be hard… but I suppose for some people that may be a draw. More power to them.

    Gutwhale is an intense yet underwhelmingly short action platformer, offering an afternoon of frustrating fun with no real reason to return once you’ve finished it. Gameplay is tight and music pulse-pounding, but it feels like little more than a demo.
