With its super-cute graphics, amazing soundtrack and polished gameplay, Offspring Fling! surely is a great puzzle platformer, and so far the best game in Kyle Pulver's portfolio.
Offspring Fling! feels like a good old 2D platform game. With more than a hundred levels to keep you puzzling for hours, Offspring Fling! is a deep game that will keep you entertained for hours. And that's exactly what we want from a platform game.

Offspring Fling is an amazing game with multiple levels of depth. It combines platforming with time trial racing and a bit of puzzling. The more skillful you become and the faster you get at clearing levels, the more of the game you discover. With the game's organic secret discovery, you get out what you put into it.

Catchy logical platformer introduces original concept of mother-offspring cooperation in hundreds of creative puzzles. [May 2012]
It's a cute and pacey game. [June 2012, p.105]

A small puzzle-plarform game that is somewhat entertaining.
In the game you are a pikachu-like character trying to put all of your offspring into the doorway in order to progress. To do that you must solve more and more complicated environmental puzzles - figure correct order to gather your offspring without killing them or yourself.
The graphic is a standard a bit retro 2D style platformer graphic. Not extremely cute but does the job well and look good. Controls are nothing to pick about either - work and behave well.
The puzzles are interesting enough to keep you going although the whole game feels a little like a mobile game. You solve a puzzle or two in between stuff that you do normally and come back to it at a later time. Admittedly there is quite a handful of puzzles to try and ability to both create custom levels and load new ones from the internet.
Overall I can enjoy the game for some time and move on before coming back for a little bit more. Nothing really keeps you **** in to finish all the levels.

While the gameplay mechanics are fun and interesting, this fresh approach to the puzzle/platform genre never actually impresses. The music is good, but there aren't enough tracks to remain enjoyable. The 16-bit art style is cute, but the main character's design is too derived from Nintendo's Kirby.

Just another overpriced, ugly indie platformer that does nothing new. You have to carry your "offspring" across the level and you can "fling" them across gaps, pits, traps, etc., hence the clever name. Very disappointing because when I saw this for sale they advertised 100 levels but each one is under a minute (speedruns are encouraged). Would not recommend this for anyone because $8 for 2 hours tops of gameplay is not a good value.

Summary Offspring Fling is a game about a poor forest creature that has misplaced all of her children. She'll have to fight her way through over 100 levels of action puzzle platforming to get them all back home. There's danger around every corner, but she won't rest until her family is safe again.
