Review: Mekorama (Nintendo Switch)

Guide the adorable robot “B” (because he looks like a Bee) to safety after he crash lands on a strange cubic planet. Think outside of the box to find solutions sometimes in unconventional ways to find a way forward. You’ll be amazed at what’s possible (and necessary!) and before long captivated to get to the end.

Pros:

• Cutesy graphics.
• 31.1mb download size.
• Opening tutorial level.
• Puzzle gameplay.
• Touchscreen controls.
• The game plays out on a cubed location.
• The view can be changed by spinning the level.
• Interact with platform blocks.
• Choose your own level order as you unlock a few levels after each completion.
• Movement is done by clicking squares.
• Four difficulties-easy/medium/tricky/hard.
• Hints-on/off.
• 25 levels in each difficulty.
• Good brain workout.
• Level creator which is easy to use and does a block by block build system.

Cons:

• Tedious repetitive soundtrack.
• Created levels are local play only with no way to share online.
• The level editor lags a fair bit.
• Only one control scheme.
• Controls are fiddly as it doesn’t use a snap to system and instead, the stick is used like a mouse and pointer.
• No leaderboard or scoring system.
• Little replay level.
