This is an indie game where you're a raccoon who uses an app to remotely control sinkholes that grow in diameter as they consume objects. The writing utilizes cheeky humor that is as silly as the premise. The characters are an eclectic bunch of oddballs. The gameplay is unexpectedly relaxing. However, the levels are short and present virtually no challenge. The game is also very short. I didn’t do any research before playing. I reached a level I thought would be a bridge to the game really opening up; however, it was the final level. The game feels like a “Chapter 1” of an episodic series. The sinkhole mechanics have so much potential for clever level design and challenging puzzles that was left unrealized. The art style and music are both memorable, but neither is stellar. I’d recommend this game if you find it on sale. At full price, the content is too thin for me to wholly recommend. ScheiGuy Score: 6/10 (mostly due to brevity and lack of challenge) ScheiGuy Score if the Game was $8-9 Instead of $13: 7.5/10 Time to Complete: Two hours
Titled Raccoon game!
