In fact, the only real criticism I have is that the checkpoints can sometimes be a little too far apart. All in all, if you’re a fan of the genre, Splasher is well worth playing.    … Expand

    This is a very good modern platforming game at a very low price. The controls are creamy and the game-play mechanics are clever. The story is neutral stimuli but the gameplay is stellar. Splasher has a clean art style and eschews the pixel aesthetic that has been done to death for the past 10 years. It's challenging but not quite approaching Super Meat Boy/Celeste difficulty.

    Awesome platformer that lets you gain abilities and splash gunk to perform different abilities.

    Pros:
    - Look sharp throughout
    - Good challenge overall and especially ramps up towards the last couple levels

    Cons:
    - Only 22 levels and one or two bosses

    Juego entretenido pero un tanto complicado y un precio muy bueno. Lo recomiendo.

    While then graphics, mechanics and level design are too notch, I found the controls not as perfect (or easy to maneuver) as other games offer (Celeste, Dead Cells).

    This game is difficult but addictive, sadly the enemies are narrowed down to just a handful and the couple of crashes during the last few levels (where there are not save points) are annoying.

    This Indies game was entertaining for the first part, but more you advance, and more it became repetitive. The graphics and comic style are delightful. The concepts of painting were the primary reason I brought the game, and it's was pure fun to jump around or escalate the walls. However, you will see the same three monsters, saw or laser.

The concepts of painting were the primary reason I brought the game, and it's was pure fun to jump around or escalate the walls. However, you will see the same three monsters, saw or laser. The lack of story and explanations is hardly helping you to get into the game. In the last five levels, the checkpoints are far distanced from each other, giving the lazy shortcut to challenge the players. The games crashed randomly on the Nintendo switch to provide you with an example; It crashed three times on the last level alone. It's was ok but wait for a considerable discount.… Expand

    so yeah i really enjoyed my time with this game, it is such a hidden gem on the switch, and i think you should defiantly add it to your collection of games    … Expand

    One of the best, most innovative, platforming games I have ever played. I highly recommend getting it if you enjoy platforming games at all.

    Splasher truly shines when it comes to its core gameplay as well as the surprising variety of situations that you will encounter. While not the most ambitious game this year on the technical front, it delivers where it matters for a platformer. Splatoon and Super Meat Boy were good friends after all.

    Splasher is an interesting and fulfilling game, thanks to its good level design and to its simple nature, which allows for fun and compelling experiences in the right amounts of time. A game that arrived full of promises and that fortunately, does not disappoint and is a solid and welcome entry in the growing catalog of the Nintendo Switch.
