Warshmallows

Warshmallows is a small game built around quick, playful action, and the name already signals the light, silly side of it. By our assessment, that kind of game lives or dies on whether the moment-to-moment controls feel snappy and the basic loop stays fresh enough to keep repeating. The downside is equally straightforward: small, joke-driven games can run out of steam once the central gag has been seen a few times. In practice the appeal is usually in short bursts, with little patience required for setup and a lot of emphasis on simple reactions. It sits in the casual end of the games pile, closer to a snack than a long sit-down campaign. Warshmallows is the sort of thing for players who want something brief and easy to pick up, not a deep system to learn.
