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

Mask Around: The Gooey Sequel That Packs a Punch!

Following the 2020 hit, Mask Up, comes its highly anticipated sequel, Mask Around! This time, prepare for a thrilling blend of run-and-gun action and intense brawling. The iconic yellow ooze returns, but with some unexpected and exciting new gameplay twists.

For those unfamiliar with the original, Mask Up was a unique roguelike platformer where players evolved from a simple puddle of yellow goo into a powerful, gooey powerhouse. Mask Around builds upon this foundation, adding a dynamic 2D shooting element to the mix. Players can now seamlessly switch between ranged combat and close-quarters brawling, utilizing both weaponry and their signature goo abilities.

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

More Than Just Goo

Currently available on Google Play (with an iOS release still pending), Mask Around appears to be a significant step up from its predecessor. While retaining the core gameplay of the original, it significantly expands upon it, introducing new layers of strategy and depth. Players must carefully balance their ooze usage with their weaponry, adding a tactical dimension to the combat. Furthermore, the graphics have received a noticeable polish.
