• This game was extremely difficult for me to figure out. A one-paragraph explanation of the mechanics and what the different icons do (I only managed to figure out like three of them, and I still don't know what the little pips in the UI indicate) would go a long way; as it stands, Ponto Sneak isn't really the highly tactical, interesting Broughlike it could've been, but more of a "I'm going to move this way and hope the orange guy icon does something useful". The game is pretty short, especially since you can just run through the levels with little regard for the enemies or pickups. The art is okay. It certainly has an aesthetic to it. The map generation was the most enjoyable part of Ponto Sneak, for me - even though the levels are very small, they are usually pretty interesting, and have a very nice progression of difficulty. Overall, I feel like this would've been a much more enjoyable game if it was slightly longer, and offered at least a short explanation of what the player avatar can do - to actually make it play more strategically.
• ​This game obviously has a great deal of tactical depth, but I was only able to access half of it due to the complete lack of instructions or manual.
