GameGrinJoseph GilSep 20197/10This game is simple and easily kills time. There is a charm to the retro, old arcade machine gameplay. In the current landscape of visually stunning, it is nice to go back in time to videogame roots and just play a plain game with basic controls. For a break from the intensity, Mekabolt is a good breather, especially at the value of the low price it is selling for.

Pure NintendoTrevor GouldSep 20196.5/10Mekabolt is quite an enjoyable little game. Yes, it's simple, but there's no shame in simple if a game is fun. I just can't ignore the short length and lack of replay incentive, though. Hopefully, a feedback-shaped sequel can let Mekabolt become fully realized. Meanwhile, you'll have to decide if $4.99 is worth it for 90 minutes of entertainment on your Nintendo Switch.

Nindie SpotlightJustin NationAug 20196.1/10Since budget puzzle platforming titles have gotten to be a bit of a dime a dozen it's hard to generate a lot of enthusiasm for games the likes of Mekabolt...

Electric BentoElise NelsonSep 20193.8/10Mekabolt is generic. It's not great, but it's not terrible either. What's fun at first quickly turns into a chore.

Seafoam GamingConnor NicholsAug 20195/10For a $5 game on a system with plenty of better budget titles, this game isn’t a bad one, but it’s incredibly generic and very short, to the point that the platinum trophy basically gives up after the first two worlds, and doesn’t even bother to cover the entire game. You really have no reason to pick this game up unless you’re buying these cheap games for an easy platinum, which is pretty sad considering how some more complex level designs and a wider scale could lead to great potential for a sequel.
