    A short campaign is the only downside of this otherwise amazing platformer.

    The challenges don't always delight as they might, but there's always another to try--a prospect that's hard to resist once Shuggy's manic sense of invention sinks its teeth into you. [Oct 2012, p.71]

    The Adventures of Shuggy is a fresh old school puzzle game.

  1. Shuggy is a great indie game with tons of levels to explore! It's an old school Halloween-esque platformer with puzzles and challenges around every bend. The game play is smooth. The graphics and sounds are acceptable. Each room has an array of new traps and foes to overcome by various means -- fly, float, and swing your way to victory! The developer regularly visits the Steam forums and listens to ideas and suggestions. An expansion pack is soon to be released. Which is good, because despite it's charm, once you have completed the game, its replay value is somewhat limited. While the single player campaign is stellar, the multiplayer aspects also need to be addressed. Offline co-op mode for a PC game is impractical. These two minor aspects would make it a solid 8 gaming score, but I always respect a developer who interacts with the public on a regular basis and is constantly improving game play, so I give it a 9.

    Graphics style looks cute, music is bearable if a little monotonous, and no complaints about the technical side of things. Still an altogether underwhelming experience. The game integrates several of the concepts of recently successful indie games, but not quite deep enough to develop a sense of challenge. It was all "ah, here they want me to do this" and "oh, this is the bit where I need to do that" like I'd already played it before. After about the twentieth room I realized my mind had started busying itself with fantasies of doing the dishes, and I gave up. Maybe it gets real good later on so if you're of either the casual or very patient player type, this could be just the game for you. I doubt anyone else will find it entertaining for long either.

  3. Since the late 80s, i stopped being a big platformer fan, but this is exactly the kind of game i like. It's inexpensive, playful, creative, and has very little level grind(a few levels make you fedex back and forth, but it's only a tiny bit so far). I picked up this game on the steam sale for $2.49 and am very pleased with it. Full Review »
