Spitkiss in IOS

Cute and gross love platformer

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

84/100

Spitkiss is one of the most unique and strangely heartwarming platformers on the App Store. It uses a clever one-finger slingshot mechanic to navigate through increasingly complex levels, but the 'characters' are droplets of spit sent between lovers living inside a giant body. It sounds gross, but the neon, organ-themed art style is actually beautiful, and the narrative—told through charming comic panels—explores themes of polyamory and identity with surprising depth.

The gameplay is precision-based. You have a limited number of 'hops' in the air to reach your goal, requiring you to think several moves ahead. The inclusion of 'bullet time' (slowing down time when you aim) is a necessary and well-implemented mechanic that prevents the difficulty from becoming frustrating. It's a game that challenges your reflexes and your brain while delivering a story that feels modern and inclusive. It’s a perfect example of how indie developers can push the boundaries of traditional genres.
