Oct 22, 2020With Witcheye's original gameplay and striking monsters, you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for new ways to overcome each challenge. With a fairly short runtime, this game is great for flying through on a lazy afternoon, or coming back to if you want to 100% the game.

Oct 5, 2020Witcheye is a game that feels incredibly familiar yet fresh at the same time. The reinvention of movement, the attention to detail, and the clever role reversal make this 2D retro platformer so good; it’s witchcraft.

Apr 12, 2021Witcheye is one of those games that lives and dies on how much you love its quirk. The controls take some getting used to, and it is frustrating to see yourself miss on some easy gems while you're learning things. Once you get everything down, you'll find the game to be pretty short but very enjoyable. Considering how cheap the title is, fans of non-traditional platformers shouldn't be afraid to try Witcheye.

Sep 18, 2020Witcheye is fun, and it’s cute, and it’s got some great visuals and a cool control system. I think it’s the perfect game to vibe to something else with, which is a type of experience that everyone with a short attention span like me needs. Everything it fails in is simply due to being a game designed for another platform, and so I heartily recommend buying Witcheye…preferably on mobile.

Oct 29, 2020Simply put, Witcheye is a very cleverly created game about role-reversal, and what could potentially happen after seeing the credit roll and the quintessential “The End” at the conclusion of a game. Although I do think that more could have been done to enhance certain aspects of the game—namely in terms of level build—this bite-sized story of witchy revenge is still worth spending the few bucks that it asks for in exchange for an enjoyable afternoon of gaming.

Oct 16, 2020Moon Kid’s Witcheye is a very fun, unique twist on the platformer genre, but it could also be described as a one-trick pony. Based around a single gimmick, the gameplay gradually wears thin over the course of its brief length. And truth be told, the unique controls won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. However, Witcheye is still a very solid recommendation if you’re seeking a kid-friendly, Halloween-themed game to play this October.

Aug 31, 2020A fun little take on an old concept, Witcheye’s tentative leap to bigger platforms is one to keep an eye out for.

Sep 21, 2020Witcheye attempts to bring something new to a tried and true genre. It doesn't take full advantage of the concept, leading to things getting a little stale towards the end of its brief runtime. There's a lot of unlockable content here though, and for the price, it's still worth a go.
-
Sep 15, 2020Witcheye is a solid game and it makes for a fun time whenever you want a quick fix of unconventional and challenging 2D gameplay.
-
Sep 15, 2020Witcheye is a quirky platformer with an innovative movement system, and it's well worth playing if you're after a fresh, bite-size handheld-focused experience. Removed from its mobile context, however, it doesn't quite have the necessary tactile appeal to overcome the game's relative lack of depth. Fun as it is, this is one mobile port that doesn't feel perfectly at home on Switch.

Sep 3, 2020Not every game needs to bowl players over with game-changing, bleeding edge design to be fun. Sometimes a comforting and competent romp gets the job done, and Witcheye succeeds at being just that. It's a novel little experience that, at the very least, acts as a good palate cleanser in between major releases. Everyone needs a game like that at some point, so it's worth keeping an eye out for Devolver Digital's tasty serving of side-scrolling comfort food.
