Critter Crunch

Now this is how it should be done. All you retro pixel art low-res trying-to-be-retro f##ks. take a look a this game. It is the embodyment of 16bit era games, just without making it look like total crap in the process. Fun, easy to understand, pick up and play gameplay, you can play with your friend without wanting to kill him. More like this one please.

Critter Crunch est un jeu extrêmement addictif et très agréable à jouer. J’y ai passé de nombreuses heures sur PS3 et même sur iPhone 4 à l’époque, alors que je ne joue normalement pas aux jeux mobiles. Je suis très surpris qu’un aussi bon jeu n’ait pas été porté sur les plateformes actuelles (et la version iPhone n’est plus disponible). Le jeu propose différents types de niveaux, les graphismes sont soignés, et le design des personnages, en particulier celui de Gros, est une véritable réussite en termes de character design. Gros est adorable et apporte une touche de mignonnerie qui renforce l'attachement au jeu. De plus, il n’y a aucune mécanique de type free-to-play, ce qui le rend encore plus appréciable. Je le recommande vivement aux amateurs de puzzle games et de jeux à la Tetris.

Super cute and twitchy arcade-style puzzler style that doesn't pull punches about the murderous gluttony of cuddly animals. Great for local co-op with inexperienced gamer friends.

Critter Crunch is a puzzle game where you play as a creature known as Biggs! The story is Biggs is trying to collect food in his bottomless belly to feed his children on the other side of the island. As Biggs you do this by playing a fun game of popping insects in particular order and collect gems that they drop. The game is colorful and vibrant. I love the backdrops and animations of the bugs and Biggs himself. Since the game takes place on an island the developers did a fantastic job of using lots of color to give the game a great and memorable personality! The music is tropical and very catchy. It really gets you in a smiling and playful mood when you're solving puzzles and trying to reach the goal. I found myself bouncing on my seat and humming along as I played and loved it. The difficulty scales perfectly in this game. In the beginning the puzzles and stages are pretty simple. But the further you get into the island, you meet different types of bugs that alter and change the stage. You gain power-ups, and the puzzle mode stages (even though they are optional) really make you sit there and think. Watching the bugs explode into huge combos really got me pumped on the later stages and I will most certainly be playing the survival mode for fun on my off time. Lastly I want to praise the developers for giving players three ways to play this game. You can play with keyboard, mouse, or controller. I personally felt i had more controller and speed with the keyboard, but it's nice to have options for different players. So if you like a good puzzle game with great color, great music, and will really test your brain later on. I implore you to head on over to the island of Critter Crunch and help out a Biggs of your own. Until next time! TL:DR: A great and colorful puzzle game that's fun and has a great difficulty curve to challenge both casual and hardcore players.

Played the hell out of this on the PS3 and now I will be doing the same on the Steamdeck, such a great puzzle game and hey, let's feed the main characters kid by puking rainbows! For the price on sale (even full price) totally worth it.

This is a brilliant and beautiful puzzle game. The basics are easy to learn, and they do a good job of keeping it interesting by always introducing new types of mechanics. + Great Presentation Values + New mechanics keep things fresh + Ramps up into a really solid challenge Easy recommendation to anyone who enjoys puzzle games, or just wants something a bit lighter in tone.

Great mechanics, cheeky theme/design. Graphics are excellent and crisp.

Recommended for any fan of arcade puzzle games, especially if you enjoy vigorous head-to-head multiplayer matches. My girlfriend loves Worms Blast, Bust-A-Move, etc. and this scratches that itch beautifully. The graphics are charming, and the game mechanic is both fresh and familiar. The fun food-chain mechanic is thoroughly enhanced by the visuals and audio. The artwork is adorable without being insipid, and the animation and sound effects feature delightful details, such as the way the critters cringe and are scared by nearby explosions. Versus mode is a lot of fun, and is our main attraction to the game. The fact that it's fun and keeps bringing us back says a lot--because it has a problem I don't usually enounter: Half the time a match ends, neither of us are sure exactly what one of us did to beat the other. For example, while helpful powerups can be triggered at will once picked up, opponent-foiling boosts trigger the moment you touch them. Not bad, but reduces some of the strategy. Plus, it's not clear whether powerups spawn randomly or not, and some powerups will add 3-5 rows to your opponents screen--easily an instant match winner. I admit that some of the confusion comes from action moving so quickly as we rush to beat each other, that we can't always tell what powerup we just picked up. I play on a Steam Link in my living room, with two Steam Controllers. During this game (and no other I've yet played) sometimes one of the controllers just stops responding. We pause, pop the battery out and then in again, and everything is fine. Weird. (Side note, anyone know how to power cycle a Steam Controller without removing the battery?) The strengths outweigh the flaws by a longshot, and this inexpensive game is worth your time.
