Super Squidlit

About

Super Squidlit is a pixelated platformer with RPG elements that channels the charm of 90s handheld games. You control Plip, a jellyfish-like hero who leaps and sprays ink to navigate the floating islands of Squishu. The game blends simple side-scrolling jumps with turn-based battles and exploration, all rendered in a retro Game Boy Color-style palette. Your goal is to stop Skwit Skwot, a villainous squidlit, from unleashing chaos across the archipelago. Gameplay loops around collecting upgrades, solving environmental puzzles, and managing a small party of squishy allies. The game stands out for its nostalgic visual design and tight controls that feel polished despite its old-school roots. Players appreciate the creative use of ink mechanics to reveal hidden paths and defeat enemies. While the story is light, the retro aesthetic and quirky character designs have earned praise from indie fans. Its 8-bit soundtrack and deliberate pacing make it a cozy pick for short sessions. Available on PC and Switch, it clocks in at around 8-10 hours with optional challenges.
