Review: She remembered caterpillars (Nintendo Switch)

She Remembered Caterpillars

A fungipunk fantasy about love, loss, and holding on, told in the format of a color-based puzzle game. A tale as the bond between parent and child, this lush and bewildering title will have players testing their wits against a variety of challenges, all beautiful and very strange.

Pros:

  • Hand drawn artsy graphics.
  • 2.26 Gb download size.
  • Touchscreen support-you can play it all with a touchscreen.
  • Puzzle gameplay.
  • Has a nice stop-start animation effect.
  • Gameplay-move all characters to their goal leaf, all characters are colored and this not only sets their goal lead but also what route they can and can’t take.
  • The story is presented between chapters.
  • Merge-combine characters to make a new color.
  • Decent brain workout.
  • Simple layout for the levels.
  • Chilled soundtrack.
  • A lot of eureka moments.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
