    Although Smashroom was at times too difficult for my liking (and/or abilities), it’s a pretty solid game. Killer art, great music, fun mechanics and combat, and an engaging level-up system make for a fairly polished experience. If I had to find something to nitpick about (other than the difficulty), I’d say that the controls don’t always feel as tight as they could. Sometimes it feels like you’re li’l shroom is a touch too floaty or slide-y when he shouldn’t be. And while it may not stand out as one of the greats of the genre, Smashroom is still a fun experience that platformer fans will likely enjoy.

Obviously then, trying to stand out in a crowded eShop with so much competition is a challenge. Smashroom at least manages to distinguish itself a little bit with its somewhat unusual combat mechanics with a lack of a typical forward attack, and requiring that you work a little harder to dispatch enemies with what skills you do have, primarily your explosive ability which is also key to breaking up obstacles and propelling yourself around. I’ll give credit for it being different, but in this case I wouldn’t argue necessarily better as you often end up feeling very fragile and that often slows you down without adding much in the way of excitement. If you’re in the mood for a change of pace and style it may suit you though.
