Rodland of Pipes

In these "buddy horror" games the learning curve usually relies on you recognizing small inputs and hints to react in certain ways to avoid monsters and hazards, in Rodland Of Pipes this is replaced by mapping out a giant level that feels impossible until half an hour later you can breeze trough it with ease, something that makes every pipe feel satisfying and different from the last. In a way though that's also one of the game's weaknesses, too much of the gameplay is based on the mapping and i feel like there is a lot of wasted potential with the enemies which are all just glorified quick time events, i was pretty disappointed in that as i feel like none of them, except for one [spoiler](the purple slime thing that you have to hold PING to explode) [/spoiler], really interacted with the existing game functions in a meaningful or intresting way and i think there was alot of wasted potential there. I'd love to see a sequel which plays more with its mechanics (like some monster that messes up your GPS orrr like a guy that you have to run away from in the pipes... there are just so many cool ideas that could work!!!) Overall though simple concept, good execution and a great artstyle. Maybe a bit too short for 8€ but i had a good time
