Wuppo

One of the best experiences Ive ever had in my life. This is just so unique and the world feels so alive. Ive played this like 5 times and it was good every time. And it might not look like it at first but the lore is quite deep. Please make a part 2

Wuppo is not just a game. Nay, it is THE game. The game of all time that is this one, this game. No words or Wums can describe the immaculate charm and absolute joy this game gives me. Truly, how can one properly describe the divine experience that is WUPPO - DEFINITIVE EDITION? The word of masterpiece may come to mind, similar to something like the Mona Lisa, a work of art that all should experience, and all can enjoy, except 700 times, possibly one million times better, than the Mona Lisa. Only those who play Wuppo may know love, happiness, patience, excitement, and several other very important things that can only be gained by playing this game. A tale of heartbreak, innocence, ice cream, guns, murder, multiple other federal offenses. This game should be played and must be played by all.

A charming game with a whimsical world that is a joy to discover. The lively environments, fitting music, and well realized world building immersed me into its setting. I enjoyed the mundane activities like travelling on public transportation, waiting in lines for amusement rides and delivering newspapers. It made the locations more believable. It felt like I was not the center of the universe but a single participant. I liked the game slightly less towards the end when it became more heroic and epic.

I love silly wum game! The guys are very silly. I got this on Switch, but since I couldn't do the Boss Run, I decided to get it on Steam (luckily, when I got it here, it was on sale). Very silly. Somehow has deep lore. 11/10, would recommend. I just wish there was more of it, as it is a short game when you know what you're doing (and I do). Gladly Breft Festival is coming out "soon," so that's something to look forward to.
To summarize: buy Wuppo and you will be very happy (as Snekflat says)

Cute, interesting, and silly platformer with some twin stick combat mixed in. It also has a partially simulated world with NPCs appearing to go about their days, which is very uncommon for the genre. Difficulty was a step higher than I expected; it's no Spelunky but the final boss and Redav Kned's guesthouse gave me some trouble. If there was anything about the game I didn't like... it was Redav Kned's guesthouse. Wuppo was never going to set the world on fire, but it knows what it wants to do and does it very well. I feel $10 USD is a fair price for this in 2025.

This is the world's most whimsy, silliest game ever thought up. There is no other game that makes me so happy playing it.

I give this game a rank C+ (65-70%)
Decent game - a pleasant experience... on sale.

I really thought I would enjoy Wuppo more, but after 3 hours I don't think I want to continue my journey in it. Since I did not finish the game, I will just write a quick review here instead of my video reviews on YouTube.
The game is not bad, it is quite decent at what is tries to achieve. Very nice little adventure game, with platformer mechanisms, jumping and shooting features of a metroidvania, not really the level design of one though. Art is cute-ish but maybe too much on the cute-silly side. LOTS of dialogues and story (as shallow as it is, mind you). TONS of music, varying for very nice sounds to bleeping/kiddish muzak. MANY items and stuff to gather and quest for.
The problem with Wuppo is that despite its cute, silly, whimsical, kiddish looks... it is not really much more than a cute, silly, whimsical, kiddish game. I kept hoping for the few hours I played to discover some hidden depth, some more grown up content in it, but all throughout it felt just silly and a bit dumb. I don't mind hiding some depth and scope behind some silly looks... but not silly looks for no content. The content here had nothing deep or smarter than I was given, so after a few bosses and MANY dialogues that just felt pushy and heavy, I had to come to the conclusion that this game was maybe just not for me.
My son, who is around 10 years old, loved it.... for a few hours too, since then he has not picked it up. So I wonder if it is just me, and not more than that: I think this game lacks substance, and it is sad because I can feel the work. Lots of efforts put in here. If you are young, or if you enjoy silly/whimsical just for the sake of it, you might give this game an A. Still a very decent game!
