    Wuppo is a sensational experience that’s packed with content, charm and an endearing soundtrack that runs deep in the colourful design. I found issues with the difficulty spike during boss encounters, and I was a bit let down by the lack of a solid story, but these small faults are not enough to pull the game down from greatness.

    This little indie game is testimony to what can be achieved with a small team of developers and a lot of crazy creative imagination.

    With a distinct sense of humour and a few secrets hidden beneath its cutesy demeanor, Wuppo will surprise any player that hasn’t seen it in action before. This sense of surprise is consistent throughout and is only made that much better when bosses are introduced. Interesting areas with bizarre characters and tons of items to play with, Wuppo will keep you busy for a remarkable amount of time.

    A visually pleasing open world 2D platformer, with vivid hand-drawn graphics and a rich and alive world. We would have liked more varied and compelling gameplay, though.

    With a simple yet eye-catching visual section, Wuppo introduces us to a surreal world in which we will undertake an adventure back home that will take us from platform to platform, from puzzle to puzzle, in an exponentially incremental environment that will grow up as we find new items.

    Wuppo offers a simple and fun proposal full of humor and action in a nice and colorful world drawn by hand. An action and exploration game with bosses and challenges that would please the biggest and smallest members of the family.

Wuppo manages to do all of these things and without a doubt it’s one of the most enjoyable indie game’s I’ve played this year. The story in the game fits in perfectly with the gameplay, and the best thing about it is that it’s packed full of humour and charm. The world in the game works very well with the story and I loved how much the world was alive, which in turn made me want to explore even more. I was very fond of the gameplay in the game and I especially liked the combat. The combat is fun and exciting throughout and the most important thing is that it remained responsive throughout. I will say though that the game does have difficulty spikes and these spikes can make you become a little frustrated because they seem to come out of nowhere. I also found the controls to be a little fiddly and awkward at times, but thankfully that only occurred when I was dealing with a full inventory. One of my favourite things about the game were the boss fights. You can tell that a great deal of effort has gone into the bosses and they definitely have a unique side to them. The presentation side of the game is also unique and certain things make the game stand out quite a bit. This is especially the case with the visuals, and the art style that’s used here is brilliant and makes you love the game even more. At the end of the day Wuppo offers you an adventure that’s charming and very very addictive. It’s a game that can be enjoyed by gamers of all ages and I must admit that me and my family had a great time with the game. It does have a few niggling problems every now and then, but you quickly forget about them because the game gets so much right. If you’re looking for something that’s fun, charming and at times very unique then look no further than Wuppo.… Expand
