    This showed up in my YouTube feed, and I'm glad it did. Haven't had so much fun with a platformer since Super Mario Odyssey. I saw a couple negative reviews, and I don't understand why. It's like you're paying for a burger, but getting a fat, plumpy sirloin steak!

    This game took me back to the glory days of SNES platformers. You'll bop enemies, swing from your whip, use a propeller technique to style on folks. If you like cute graphics and are up to a fun challenge, this is the game for you. AND it's receiving free updates!

    I've had an absolute blast playing this game casually and now speedrunning. This game is a brilliant throwback to platformers of old. Whipseey has colorful graphics, charming enemies, fun bosses, good pacing, and the controls are great. I can't find any fault with the game. Sometimes you'll die, but you learn to adapt.

    This is the most refreshing platformer I've played in years. Whipping enemies, swinging, gliding--you have so much control over the soon-to-be famous pink puff Whipseey. I've been playing this game over and over and can't get the music out of my head. It's so catchy. This game oozes charm and should be enjoyed by all.

    Got this on the Switch and gotta say the game is fire. I'm being 100 with you. I hope Whipseey comes to Smash, so I can BBC pipe people with that slick whip.

    The best way to review is begin to rap. And this game is anything but crap.
    Boy turns into a puff with a girthy whip. Swing over pits, careful not to trip.
    Colorful graphics, take me back to the past. Challenging bosses, yo I'm haven a blast. At five measly bucks, you can't go wrong. Did I mention that whip? it's super long.

    Came across this gem over the holiday break. Fabulous design. My girlfriend and I had fun playing this together, and she NEVER plays games. Fingers crossed for a sequel.

    This developer is really coming into their own. Their latest game Whipseey is like a mix of Kiwi-Craze and Castlevania from the 8-bit NES. I'm a veteran of platformers, and while this game is short, it packs a tight challenge. Not only that, but the game pays homage to classics. Best $5 I ever spent.

    Great game for an evening of platforming. Impressive soundtrack and visuals, fun design. Would be a 10 if not for the length. Not too upset though, as others said it's dirt cheap. Easy buy.

    If Simon Belmont and Kirby had a baby, it would be this game. You travel through five breath-taking worlds and whip everything in sight, no mercy. A jewel in a sea of zircons. Incredible graphics, cute enemies, hip soundtrack. This game has it all.

    A fun, albeit short game that leaves you craving more. But the time you spend playing is amazing! It's even fun to replay, and I'm hoping the bonus levels come soon. Good controls, design, and cute mascot. Love this game

    I bought this game on sale for $1. It was simple, but enjoyable, and well worth the purchase. Gameplay was solid. Quest was short. It does blatantly rip off some well known platformers. A little more length and creativity would make this game even better.

    I experienced everything it had to offer within an hour, and even that brief time could have been cut down if not for some of the more punishing jumping sections. Whipseey is cute, colorful and easy to get into, but it isn’t much more than that.

    If Kirby series could lay an egg, and you made an omelette with it, it would be Whipseey - a short breakfast that could use at least a bit more salt. It is an extremely tiny platformer with a few cheap deaths hidden around a corner, but still en enjoyable retro gaming hour for any fan of the old school.

    Whipseey and the Lost Atlas looks great and I liked the retro inspired music, but it’s a short game. It also lacks exciting features and objectives to keep the player interested. Would be a good game for younger kids though.
