Squishy the Suicidal Pig Reviews

Masterpiece, played back in 2018 and strongly recommend.

Hey, do you enjoy puzzle games or even troll games which aren't even particularly difficult but which just waste your time for no reason? Then this game is for you. Remember those Karoshi Suicide Salary Man games where you had to figure out how to kill your character? Yeah, this is mostly that, only worse. Most levels are needlessly tedious. Objectively they aren't that long, but they are set up in ways that make failure relatively easy and costly. Your character is slow, moves even slower when pushing around blocks (which you do a lot), there's tons of janky positioning of objects, timed things last either too little or too long, and levels are full of "if you miss this chance, you gotta restart" moments. Occasionally there are levels which play more traditionally and you must survive them, but even these can get needlessly convoluted. Oh, and there's area bosses... which can only be refought by replaying the preceding (extra long) levels. There's a few lateral thinking puzzles, but most of it is just your average puzzle platforming. The few trollish moments are either stuff you spot very easily (admittedly, you can overlook them when frustrated by other things, which [b]is totally[/b]] on the player) or which come very late so you are forced to replay a whole bunch of the level with close to no challenge but tons of tedium.
