Shiny BeaglesWhat strikes me the most is how much polish this game has. A whole lot of thought has gone into every single detail, and it shows: There’s basically no flaws at all, awing me with it’s perfected simplicity.
Small, small things, like how the number of remaining ropes/chutes pop up over your characters head when you use them, or how you can pick up dogs or things in other layers if they are close. Or how puppies are worth more than adult dogs. I mean, they’re cuter, right!
All these mechanics works in wonderful symphony, leaving you with really smooth gameplay that you just can’t help coming back to.
The addition of the level end bonuses is just a monocle on the owl: offering a lovely sense of risk for reward. Should I jump the slime, run to the end of the screen to no-rope jump from that hill, and run back to try and catch the beagle before it goes off screen? Or just screw the Skyline bonus and rope my way up there?
If I had to pick on something, it would be that the landscape generator sometimes produces holes that make it downright impossible to get the Skyline Flow bonus. But those are rare, and hardly a problem except for perfectionist misfits like me.
