Mask Around, the highly anticipated sequel to 2020's quirky roguelike platformer, Mask Up, is finally here! This time, prepare for a blend of intense running, gunning, and brawling action. The iconic yellow ooze returns, but 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 powerful, gooey warrior. Mask Around builds upon this foundation, adding a dynamic new dimension with the integration of 2D shooting mechanics. Players can seamlessly switch between ranged combat and close-quarters brawling, utilizing their goo abilities strategically.

Resource management remains crucial, as the precious yellow ooze is still in limited supply. Players must carefully monitor their ooze meter, especially during challenging boss encounters.

A New Face for Familiar Fun

Available now on Google Play (with an iOS release yet to be announced), Mask Around appears to be a significant upgrade over its predecessor. While maintaining the core gameplay loop, it introduces substantial enhancements, including refined graphics and a more nuanced combat system. The strategic use of both ooze abilities and ranged weapons adds a layer of depth absent in the original.

Beyond simply managing your ooze meter, players must now carefully time its usage, leveraging their weaponry when supplies dwindle. This refined gameplay, coupled with improved visuals, promises a more polished and engaging experience.
