Skylar & Plux didn't do anything particularly spectacular, but you can tell it was made with love by a studio that was unfortunately given the raw end of the deal with the game being pulled from digital storefronts by the publisher. What a travesty!

It is a very simple game with a couple of cool unique mechanics, but it certainly could have been fleshed out more. Being only about 2 hours long, it was pretty short. For what it was, though, I had a very enjoyable time with it. I think that if the developers were to build on their design for this and give more playgrounds for the movement, especially with moments where switching in between all the powers is necessary to progress, it could be really cool. Add in some things like wall runs or wall jumps and you've got yourself a pretty stellar platforming engine.

The characters, for the most part, are pretty par for the course, as is the rest of the game. The more unique character is the villain, who is a giant television with robot hands named CRT which was pretty funny. The dialogue is all very safe, sometimes borders on cringe but I'm assuming the game is aimed more towards kids so it's fine! I can imagine playing this as a kid and having a really good time with it as a first platformer.

Maybe one day we can see Skylar & Plux realized to its fullest extent, but until then, I'd recommend anyone who is a fan of 3D platformers to give it a shot. I'm sure there are other ways to get a copy.
