IguaRPG

I love the whimsy vibes in this. The combat mostly involves bouncing on enemies, which is surprisingly really fun? You might have to learn enemies' attack pattern to not get your ass kicked; it can be challenging but not unfairly difficult. Each zone in the game has a temple that require you to complete different rooms that introduce new challenges, all varied and fresh. I made my iguana yellow and I love them.

Be an Iguana! collect gems! Fight angels! You can do it it all in IguaRPG!!!

"IguaRPG" is a short and great little 2D-action-adventure with light RPG elements, where you play an iguana tasked to find an ancient weapon to fend off otherworldy invaders. The premise is simple and a little silly (the ending is really bonkers) but earnest and immersive at the same time. Gameplaywise you walk around, converse with NPCs, buy consumables or stat-raising items at the bar, hop and charge on things until they pop and find keys to unlock blessings that open up the map further. The worldbuiling is very unique and retro, the soundtrack is weird, funky and really good. The character creator is also quite adorable! It is sadly quite short, but densely packed. But don't be fooled by the cute and charming presentation: The game is not easy, for enemies in the later areas pack a punch and the boss patterns are quite tight! Give it a try! It's solo-dev indie game goodness with a vision!

[h2]イグアナとなれ、そして世界を悪の手から守れ――[/h2] 音楽やビジュアルにローファイの温かみを味わえるアクションRPG。クリアまで2～3時間ほど。 見かけによらず快適に遊べる仕組みが多くて好感触。 ジャンプしてギリギリ届かなくてもお情けで足場に乗っけてくれるし、コヨーテタイムもあります（イグアナだけど） 基本操作は2Dアクションがメインで、敵には体当たりで攻撃できます。 ボスが強いと感じたら、お金を稼いで店で攻撃力や最大ライフを増やす手もあり、そういったところはRPGをやっている感覚です。 ゲームの進行は新たな町に着いては3つの鍵を集めて、というのを繰り返す感じ。 町ごとに鍵のヒントを教えてくれるので親切ですし、たまにアイテムを使った謎解きも混じるので退屈せずに進められました。 全体に漂うゆるいユーモアが好きなところです。 妙に項目が多彩なキャラメイクを始めとして、たびたび表れる懐の広さが面白いなあという印象。 きみもツノとか口とかのパーツを自由に配置して、世界にひとつだけのイグアナを作ろう！

What a delightful game, I have just started playing it but I love the cute little protagonist. I am looking forward to meeting more of the inhabitants and am proud of my Iguana heritage.

Two words to sum up the gameplay: Simple and Intuitive. Everything simply makes sense, the puzzles, the enemies, the patterns. You just need some patience and you can pull on through. If you try to rush through the game or get impatient, expect to fail a few times at some of the bosses and challenges. I've only played through 47% of the game, and I'd say it is worth $5 for a sweet charming game. Especially if you want your kids to try something harder, but not too hard. Also the iguana customizer is pretty fun to use. You can even use it to modify the size of your hitbox (for better or for worse).

Packed to the brim with neat puzzles and challenging bosses! A world that isn't all that big, but holds plenty of secrets, hidden pathways, and a structure that has you grow really familiar with the playful spaces. Getting to customize your character and talk to fun NPCs for hints was a pleasure!
