  • Summary: Poor Molly! A sculptor's apprentice cursed into a snake-haired Medusa - and so, every living thing she goes near instantly turns into a stone statue. Enemies and friends, bosses and shopkeepers, monsters and allies, even animals and small insects, they all turn to stone.

    Molly's quest takes her through a series of mystical temples, as she struggles with loneliness and alienation. Inside these temples gravity is "local". Molly's "down" is calculated from the surface she's currently standing on, which means she can easily walk up walls, or upside down in the ceiling. This allows the level design to twist in on itself, and curl into labyrinths that are physically impossible. Petrified enemies accompany gravity puzzles and non-euclidean architecture, in M. C. Escher scavenger hunts.    … Expand

    The fact is that the game is plagued by camera controls so dire, they make it impossible to enjoy anything else. With some major tweaks to those controls, it’d be easy to imagine Molly Medusa becoming an under-the-radar hit, but for now, it’s definitely one to avoid.

    Molly Medusa: Queen of Spit takes a great idea and, unfortunately, fails to deliver on its promise. The throwback camera is a mistake and needed far more refinement, and the controls feel clumsy as a result. Molly's lack of reaction to her curse takes away any emotional impetus or impact from the plot. There is a potential gem here, but despite a handful of inspired ideas, it feels antiquated and is very difficult to recommend, at least in its launch state.
