Pulut is a game with no identity of its own as it uses assets and mechanics from many other games that feel very dysfunctional. It starts out as a Super Mario Bros abomination, the player is later given a sword – changing it into a hack n slash, and finally we are given shooting and flying abilities from a SHUMP type game. The level design never keeps up with these abilities to properly utilize these skills and challenge the player. By the end of the game it just feels like a bunch of cheat codes are enabled. The game just can’t decide what it wants to be and with no story to tie it all together or give it purpose. In the end it doesn’t feel like a game at all, but more of a weekend project someone would share freely with family or close friends.
