Mask Around: A Gooey Sequel That Packs a Punch
Mask Around, the sequel to 2020's quirky roguelike platformer Mask Up, is now available on Google Play. This time around, the signature yellow ooze returns, but with a significant gameplay twist: you'll be engaging in both intense gunfights and close-quarters brawling.
For those unfamiliar with the original, Mask Up saw players evolving from a simple puddle of yellow goo into a formidable, gooey powerhouse. Mask Around builds upon this foundation, seamlessly blending 2D shooting mechanics with the original's brawling style. Players can switch between ranged combat and melee attacks, offering strategic depth.
However, the precious yellow ooze remains a limited resource, demanding careful management, especially during challenging boss encounters. Running out of goo leaves you vulnerable, highlighting the need for tactical switching between combat styles.
More Than Just Goo
While a potential iOS release is yet to be announced, Android users can download Mask Around immediately. The sequel appears to be a substantial improvement over its predecessor, retaining the core gameplay while significantly expanding upon it. The addition of ranged combat adds a new layer of strategy, forcing players to carefully consider when to utilize their goo-based abilities. The visuals also boast a noticeable polish.
