Your air is running out and Something is lurking in the shadows. Hand painted 2D side scrolling puzzle solving, mining and collecting goodness are awaiting you in SAMA!

You are tasked with collecting materials and scouting for objects as you are forced to do the bidding of another for their own benefit. This involves running around, jet packing, shooting, and lots and lots of mining of materials. Each planet has a unique look and is dispersed with an assortment of teleport spots, puzzles, and lots of materials to collect. As you progress you are also offered upgrades to your gear which help you to do more and progress in the game. Ultimately, you will be mining and wandering looking for puzzles to solve. while killing baddies and avoiding death.

The puzzles usually involve a set of blocks with colors on them and a location they need to be moved. It's a bit like Tetris and a sliding puzzle with a bit of gravity. You enter a puzzle room and figure it out, resetting the room as needed, when completed you are rewarded of course, then move onto the next room's puzzle wherever it may be.

Graphically it's beautiful, and looks amazing in 4K. The hand painted art feels like it was designed with a lot of love and care. Each tile and character has its look and feel, and you will stop playing at times just to watch everything on screen looking and feeling very alive. The GUI can be adjusted to suit your needs including the mini map which can be zoomed in and out to help you find your way. Overall it looks great.

Gameplay is pretty standard, you move your character around and mine, shoot, jet pack, and repeat. Using mouse or gamepad makes the game easy to use and you should find yourself right at home once you get the feel of the controls. If using a gamepad, make good use of that "lock" button that stops you in place to aim/shoot. It will save your bacon many times as you hover and shoot those pesky baddies.

Overall, its a well polished and solid gaming experience that I have enjoyed fully. It does have some quirks but overall it's a solid platformer that will bring you a good amount of fun and gameplay.

If this sounds good to you, please try it, it is super fun!
