What players say

Slightly sexy puzzle platformer, now in high definition. The characters and levels look appealing, and the HD is definitely an improvement over the original. The puzzles and platforming are the right level of challenging for me, not too easy and not too hard.

A funny, easy to learn, hard to master game, if you played the original, this is more of that, a great game overall, you need a bit of practice to fully enjoy the game, but after a while, it just feel good to complete a level, specially when you get the par time.
Infamous HitmanRecommendedafter 18hMay 2025Read on Steam
I got this game alongside a few other Wayforward titles and was a little underwhelmed by this. Block switching puzzles are a majority of the gameplay and often get tedious, and combined with stiff platforming it often can be tiresome or annoying. When it's good, it's a simple but decent platformer, but it wasn't one that caught me. I couldn't be bothered to finish it despite making it a majority of the way through.
