Mask Around is the sequel to one of the strangest roguelikes of all time

Mask Around: A Gooey Sequel That Packs a Punch

Mask Around, the sequel to 2020's quirky roguelike platformer Mask Up, is now available on Google Play. This time around, the signature yellow ooze returns, but with a significant upgrade: you're not just brawling; you're also running and gunning!

For those unfamiliar with the original, Mask Up was a unique experience where players evolved a puddle of yellow goo into, well, a more muscular puddle of goo. Mask Around builds upon this foundation, adding 2D shooting mechanics to the mix. Players can seamlessly switch between melee combat and ranged attacks, utilizing their goo abilities strategically.

However, the precious yellow ooze remains a limited resource, demanding careful management, especially during challenging boss encounters. Keep a close eye on that meter!

More Than Just Goo

While lacking an iOS release announcement, Mask Around offers a noticeable improvement over its predecessor. The core gameplay remains, but with substantial enhancements. Strategic resource management is key, as players must decide when to utilize their goo powers and when to rely on their weaponry. The visuals have also received a welcome polish.

Beyond the improved gameplay and graphics, Mask Around maintains the series' signature bizarre charm. It's a unique blend of genres that offers a refreshing take on the action platformer.
