The good: The game is challenging and keeps you engaged; it's fun to discover your environment as you play. The graphics are simple but oddly enjoyable. Level design is good; it starts pretty basic but as you work your way up the designs become more challenging and require some careful planning in order to survive. Enemy mobs add a little spice to the basic find-your-way-through-the-level format. The developer seems to be pretty active on the discussion board and responsive to bug reports and other game issues.

The bad: Controls are still a little wonky; sometimes the jump key goes straight to double jump, which kills me a lot. The music can get a little repetitive after long play sessions and so far there isn't a menu option to turn it down/off, or to remap the keys.

General info: This is a platformer in which you play as a little sponge that throws paint/ink splashes as you jump or impact surfaces. You discover more of your environment in each level the more you play. It's a fairly simple game, yet oddly addictive. I've only logged a few hours and I'm already enjoying myself immensely. There are hidden secrets in some of the levels, which does give you a bit of replay value.

Overall: Definitely recommend.

System Specs Used: Intel Core i7-3610QM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 670M / 3GB GDDR5, DDRIII 12GB RAM, Windows 7
