Summary
Squidgies is a puzzle game that after just a few levels feel familiar. I nailed it down to feeling a lot like Lemmings what with both games have characters that have unique abilities and you use these to get your tribe from one way to the other. It’s a lot of fun and I recommend playing with the touch controls as the controller is a cursor and is not as reactive. Feats give the game some replay value but they are just another set of tasks to tick and serve no real purpose and for some reason are buried in menus. Overall it is a solid puzzle game.
