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 twist: you'll be engaging in both intense gunfights and close-quarters brawling.

For those unfamiliar with the original, Mask Up saw players evolving from a simple puddle of yellow goo into a powerful, gooey warrior. Mask Around retains this core gameplay but adds a dynamic new element: 2D shooting mechanics. Players can seamlessly switch between ranged combat and melee brawling, offering a more versatile and strategic experience.

However, the precious yellow ooze remains a limited resource, demanding careful management, especially during challenging boss encounters. Keeping a close eye on your goo meter is crucial for survival.

More Than Just Goo

While details on an iOS release are pending, Android users can download Mask Around immediately. Though I haven't played the original, Mask Around appears to be a substantial improvement, expanding upon the original gameplay while retaining its unique charm. The strategic use of both your goo abilities and weaponry adds a new layer of depth. The visuals also appear significantly enhanced.
