Mask Around is the sequel to one of the strangest roguelikes of all time

Mask Around, the highly anticipated sequel to 2020's quirky roguelike platformer, Mask Up, is now available. This time, prepare for a thrilling blend of run-and-gun action and intense brawling. The signature yellow ooze returns, infused with some surprising new gameplay twists.

For those unfamiliar with the original, Mask Up was a unique experience where players evolved from a simple puddle of yellow goo into a formidable, well, gooey powerhouse. Mask Around builds upon this foundation, adding a dynamic new 2D shooting element to the existing brawling mechanics. Players can seamlessly switch between ranged combat and close-quarters melee, utilizing both their goo-based abilities and newly introduced weaponry.

However, the precious yellow ooze remains a limited resource, demanding strategic management, especially during challenging boss encounters. Keep a close eye on that meter!

A Mask for Every Occasion

Currently available on Google Play, Mask Around represents a significant evolution from its predecessor. While retaining the core gameplay loop, it expands upon it considerably, adding depth and strategic layers. Resource management is more critical, demanding careful consideration of when to utilize your goo powers versus your weaponry. The visuals also boast a noticeable improvement, offering a more polished and refined aesthetic.

While an iOS release remains unannounced, Android users can jump in immediately. After experiencing the unique blend of action and strategy in Mask Around, be sure to check out our latest list of top five new mobile games for even more exciting titles!
