Jun 22, 2020Even when the beat is done, Radio Squid remains an entertaining and challenging distraction for those seeking such. A solid foundation, quirky visual design, and an interesting blend of coin collection and self-created bullet hell allows the title to hold some distinction from the Arcade-inspired crowd. What fun may be had will be determinant on how much tolerance a player has for stringent stipulations, some seemingly unintentional through an unforeseen lack of polish. If the beat doesn't grab you (and it certainly may not), the in-game strategizing will do more than enough to last at least one or two playthroughs.

Jun 29, 2020Radio Squid has varying moments of charm with its monochrome look and fun chiptune soundtrack. But, sadly, it falls short due to a beat-based shooting mechanic that continually works against you and feels half-baked.
