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

Mask Around: The sequel to the bizarre 2020 hit, Mask Up, is here! This time, prepare for a blend of intense shooting and close-quarters brawling. The iconic yellow goo returns, but with some surprising new twists.

Remember the unique roguelike platformer, Mask Up, from 2020? You evolved from a simple puddle of yellow goo into…well, a buff pile of goo. Developer Rouli delivers more of that same quirky charm with Mask Around.

Unlike the original's 2D roguelike brawling focus, Mask Around integrates 2D shooting mechanics. You can seamlessly switch between gunplay and your goo-based abilities, letting you tackle levels in various ways.

However, that precious yellow ooze remains a limited resource. Keep a close eye on your meter, especially during challenging boss fights.

More Than Just Goo

Mask Around is available now on Google Play. While an iOS release is yet to be announced, initial impressions suggest a significant improvement over the original. It retains the core gameplay while adding substantial depth and polished visuals. The challenge now lies not only in maintaining your goo supply but also in strategically utilizing it alongside your weaponry.
