Blocky's Short Quest

Really solid platformer with a decent amount of content. The level layout is weird and makes you skip certain paths, so make sure you go back later to look for anything you missed.

I'm just going to give my thoughts after completing every level. It's a solid game all things considered, but the later game was a lot more hit and miss for me. In spite of that, it's free and not so short to be mostly a waste of storage space, so it's worth a look. I don't have much to say about the most of the game, if I'm not mentioning it here it's at least 'ok' if not good. I don't want to spoil too much, but my favourite world was the one with the 'magic' (ie. stamina) meter. It felt like such an interesting mechanic, that I've never seen before in a platformer, and was surprisingly not awful to play. Now onto the negatives: The hitboxes are wacky, I'm almost certain that either the edges of platforms are rounded and/or the player is, which doesn't line up with the boxy visuals. World 12 (rising lava) and World 13 ('fuel' (ie. hunger) meter) have a lot of overlap in terms of how they play. It bored me a little trying World 12 after completing World 13, and seeing the mechanics built up in a similar way for the most part. World 15 was lame; wall jump after the more exotic mechanics, seriously? The final World was fun at first, but after I started level 2 and realised there wasn't going to be that much mixing of different world's mechanics, I did feel a little let down by that. Then again, it's not like any of these issues ruin the game for me.
