Axolotl is Dry

é bem curto (terminei em menos de 1 hora) mas muito divertido

This game isn't terrible but it has too many problems for such a simple idea to make it worth recommending. The idea of playing as an axolotl is interesting. I like that the developer tried to make it factor into the gameplay, as he must get to water in order to survive. This actually ends up being the biggest problem with the game because most of the levels are basically simplistic puzzles that you don't have enough time to figure out before dying. The graphics are very simplistic and the game has a single song that loops constantly. The main mechanic of the game is a midair dash that is used to leap around obstacles. If the axolotl grabs a gem while in the air, then he gets an extra dash before he lands. There's also a wall jump. Jumping against the wall does not reset the dash mechanic. The game doesn't explain any of this, so it took me some time to even figure out what I was doing. There are fifty simplistic levels but the game ends up being annoying by virtue of the fact that the axolotl constantly gets dehydrated and dies as you're trying to figure out the best way to tackle the platforming puzzle. Certainly not the worst game I've played but as what essentially feels like a Flash game I would say it's too irritating to be worth a run through unless you really love these sorts of games.
