What’s unique about Splashteam is that they pull it off and add a wrinkle that makes Splasher its own beast: Speedrunning. Still, there’s many a platformer out there and paying homage to one of the best indie games released in the last decade is a solid choice for many a developer. Fetus, minus the beating up on Bandage Girl. Even the main antagonist, Le Docteur, strikes me as being cut from the same cloth as Dr. This feels like playing Super Meat Boy if he had access to the propulsion gel from Portal 2 with some of the tear-your-hair-out difficulty scaled back. Now, this is not necessarily an original game by any stretch. In short order you find a water gun, and set off to rescue your fellow ink covered colleagues through trial and error over 22 levels of platforming goodness. The plot is simple: you’re working in the Inkorp factory when you see the evil Le Docteur experimenting on your co-workers by injecting them with ink that causes massive and grotesque mutations. Several hours later I took a break, having giggled and yelled at my TV quite a few times at this fun and very well polished indie release. When I sat down at the end of last week with my review copy of Splasherby Splashteam and published by Playdius Games, I figured I’d log a few hours and get a good rich impression of the indie platformer before running back to the arms of my one true love, Breath of the Wild.
