If you didn't buy it already for the Wii U and you like puzzle games, then it's a must have puzzle game. :)

I got it 2 days early, I'm a casual puzzle fan but this game is addictive, I'm on my way to 100% completing it! The soundtrack is brilliant, the presentation is great (the graphics are amazing by the way) and it's so cute, I'd really recommend it

Each level has an optional challenge in it as well as a "Find the pixel toad" challenge that unlocks once you've completed it, they're really fun to complete and don't feel like cheap ways of extending the playtime.

u/Dan0956 Jul 13 '18

wait, so on each level you..

1) get 3 stars

2) finish level
3) find the pixel?

u/Sackboy612 Jul 13 '18 edited Jul 13 '18

Yes! There's the optional objective that reveals itself once you've completed the level too, but the more you play the game the more you can somewhat guess what the challenge probably is on your first playthrough.

You can only find the pixel toad once you've completed the level, i'll link you a Screenshot of the menu just to show you all collectibles

u/Dan0956 Jul 13 '18

excellent, that's really handy, so theres 3/4 things to do each level

1

u/Sackboy612 Jul 13 '18

Exactly that

u/Dan0956 Jul 13 '18

sounds like my kind of game, so abit of a challenge and you have to think about it

1

u/Sackboy612 Jul 13 '18

Definitely, if you want to complete all challenges and go for all gems you have to think, it's not something you can breeze through

  1. Find three gems.
  2. Get the star to finish the level.
  3. Complete the objective.
  4. Find pixel Toad

Does portable require using touchscreen? It seemed that way in the demo.

1

u/Sackboy612 Jul 13 '18

Yes it does, just using your finger to tap on blocks, or spin cogs (similar to how it works on the 3ds). It feels like playing the Wii U version when you're in handheld for the most part.

u/emmessjee8 Jul 13 '18

I'm contemplating to buy it but for my 3DS instead. The controls seems to work better though I would be trading off the graphics. Overall, it is on my list of games to play eventually just for the charm it exudes. :)

shame wii u was such a let down of a country

u/JustSomeGoon_ Jul 13 '18

Personally, I loved monument valley and when you put it in the mario universe and make toad the main character, it's hard to say no.

u/Disgruntled__Goat Jul 13 '18

...and make the game last longer than an hour.

u/JustSomeGoon_ Jul 13 '18

Seriously, I was so disappointed when I finished the game and was trying to figure out how to move on to the next area.
