SAVED. Let that be a lesson to other publishers to not pull this kind of stunt again. Time to go spread so democracy.

Publisher doesn't allow single player modding anymore, which was a huge part of what made the game great. Greedy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥...

Giga Wrecker is a puzzle/plateformer game with an anime art style that take place in a post apocolyptic planet. The character you play as has the ability to manipulate debris from enemies she kills and from rock formations she can destroy. The debris you collect is used as your main weapon and it has increased utility the more you collect.

To begin with the combat in the game is very simplistic yet satisfying. Your attacks can be used to solve puzzles and destroy enemies. While satisfying the game does have a lack of enemy variety as there are only a handful of enemy types with single move sets. This however is not the main aspect of the game as the puzzles are what make up the core parts of the game. The only area where the combat truly excels is the boss fights. The bosses have multiple movesets and attacks which make them alot of fun to face even if you're not to great at platformers.

The puzzles in the game are quite easy to solve but are unique in their nature do to the debris ability the game gives you. Most of your time in game will be solving these puzzles and trying to find the unfortunately limited amount of collectable items. The puzzles can either be fun to solve or become a nightmare do to the sometimes wonky physics engine. You may very well know the solution to a puzzle but executing it properly is finicky sometimes.

The game has a leveling system which is very 1-dimensional as the upgrades you get for them are uninspired. These upgrades range from more health to extra weapon damage and range.

Finally, the game's story is nothing special as it is filled with common tropes and bland characters. I'm not going to go into the specifics as to not spoil anything. The story is atleast entertaining as for most of the game there is an element of mystery. The overall story is soft-hearted with some dark elements thrown in. If I could describe the story's appeal in 1 word, it would be "cute". The character designs also reflect that description.

Overall I think Giga Wrecker is a fun casual game that you will enjoy if you like cute characters and satisfying puzzle/platformer gameplay. It was enough to entertain me for around 18 hours with screwing around with the level creator and gameplay elements.
