Nirav from GL: "Animal Well has shattered my understanding of game design in the best ways."
I'm Loving it! The physical edition goes on sale tomorrow from LRG. I know a lot of people dislike them, but I want a physical copy of this game so I'm gonna double dip and buy it again!
A small but mighty metroidvania that you won't be able to put down
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I would like to reiterate that the fact Animal Well was created by a sole developer is worthy of an entire room giving it a standing ovation. It’s impeccably well-designed, with a ton of secrets to unfold, but I also feel it wasn’t that much fun at all times. I’m all for a game not holding my hand throughout its entire runtime, but it didn’t need to feel so cryptic, and so focused on trial-and-error, especially when its checkpoints were way too far away from each other. At times, I loved exploring its many secrets. Other times, I felt so frustrated I wanted to throw my Switch across the room. All in all, it’s still worth checking out if you’re into a deceptively complex metroidvania, but be aware of some truly obnoxious design choices and roadblocks."
