  Gutwhale is a fun little roguelite. It has a nice set of mechanics and gameplay elements even though they are very limited. It is somewhat odd (I forgot to mention how a van falls down into the level every time you get a game over), but it has some charm and is one of the better games in Ratalaika’s catalog.

  Gutwhale is an intense yet underwhelmingly short action platformer, offering an afternoon of frustrating fun with no real reason to return once you’ve finished it. Gameplay is tight and music pulse-pounding, but it feels like little more than a demo.

  Despite the short length, Gutwhale doesn’t feel too simple. There is a simplicity to it, but also a challenge with a sense of satisfaction when you finally hit the bottom. And there is a lot of replayability to it, even after you have illuminated the five blocks and achieved the ‘true’ ending.
