Mask Around: The Sequel to Mask Up Delivers More Gooey Action!

Following the 2020 release of the unique roguelike platformer Mask Up, developer Rouli returns with Mask Around, a sequel that expands on the original's bizarre charm. Remember that yellow ooze? It's back, and it's not alone! This time, expect some unexpected twists.

While Mask Up focused primarily on 2D brawling, Mask Around adds 2D shooting mechanics to the mix. Players can seamlessly switch between gunning down foes and utilizing their goo-based abilities for melee combat. However, the precious yellow ooze remains a limited resource, requiring strategic management, especially during challenging boss fights.

A Refined Experience

Currently available on Google Play (with an iOS release yet to be announced), Mask Around appears to be a significant improvement over its predecessor. It retains the core gameplay of Mask Up but adds depth through the introduction of weaponry and a refined combat system. The enhanced graphics also contribute to a more polished overall experience. The challenge now lies not only in maintaining your ooze supply but also in strategically choosing when to use it alongside your new arsenal.
