Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 129 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (161 of 165 positive).

Players praise UFO as a highly addictive and polished puzzle-platformer that refines the formula of its predecessor. [1][2][3] Many note it offers new mechanics like a kick ability and more content, with a great soundtrack. [4][5][6] A few reviewers find it lacks the flow of similar games or feels soulless compared to the original. [7][8][9]

    A surprise sequel 10 years later to the underrated indie gem "Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe", wasn't on my bingo card for 2023. This new game refines everything about the original. More content, new mechanics, new obstacles, new weapons, better flow, online and splitscreen multiplayer, awesome soundtrack and of course destroying huge chunks of blocks is still as satisfying as ever!

  • [3]Steam user Steam user …0690Steam review · Dec 27, 2023 · Recommended

    Brilliantly designed puzzle game that feels like a mix between Tetris and Mega Man. Masterfuly polished experience that can range from a chill time to a brutal challenge to your reflexes, depending on how well you play. The learning curve feels pretty organic with lots of little challenges being introduced to you at the right time while you play the game. Outside of the super addictive gameplay and high score …

    This is a spiritual sequel to Super Puzzle Platformer, and in my opinion, a much better game. The basic gameplay is that it's an arcade game. Survive as long as you can, and score high. Colorful blocks drop down to the play area, and you must move and jump to make sure you don't get crushed. You want to shoot groups of blocks of the same color to blow them up; the larger the group, the bigger your score. Sometimes …

    I'm in love with Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe, and as soon as I saw this one, I knew I had to get it. It's more of the same, but feels different, with new obstacles, new powerups, a new kick mechanic
