- Witcheye is one of those games that lives and dies on how much you love its quirk. The controls take some getting used to, and it is frustrating to see yourself miss on some easy gems while you're learning things. Once you get everything down, you'll find the game to be pretty short but very enjoyable. Considering how cheap the title is, fans of non-traditional platformers shouldn't be afraid to try Witcheye.
Cody Medellin · Apr 12, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Moon Kid’s Witcheye is a very fun, unique twist on the platformer genre, but it could also be described as a one-trick pony. Based around a single gimmick, the gameplay gradually wears thin over the course of its brief length. And truth be told, the unique controls won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. However, Witcheye is still a very solid recommendation if you’re seeking a kid-friendly, Halloween-themed game to play this October.
Emily Rogers · Oct 16, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Witcheye is fun, and it’s cute, and it’s got some great visuals and a cool control system. I think it’s the perfect game to vibe to something else with, which is a type of experience that everyone with a short attention span like me needs. Everything it fails in is simply due to being a game designed for another platform, and so I heartily recommend buying Witcheye…preferably on mobile.
Lillian King · Sep 18, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Witcheye is a quirky platformer with an innovative movement system, and it's well worth playing if you're after a fresh, bite-size handheld-focused experience. Removed from its mobile context, however, it doesn't quite have the necessary tactile appeal to overcome the game's relative lack of depth. Fun as it is, this is one mobile port that doesn't feel perfectly at home on Switch.
Jon Mundy · Sep 15, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - I do think that more could have been done to enhance certain aspects of the game—namely in terms of level build—this bite-sized story of witchy revenge is still worth spending the few bucks that it asks for in exchange for an enjoyable afternoon of gaming.
Kenny McKee · Sep 09, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Witcheye feels right at home on the Switch. By no means a revolutionary game, much less a lengthy one, it still features a wide assortment of enemies, sceneries, and secrets to unfold. It would have certainly been a bonafide hit, had it been released back in the SNES days. Considering its minuscule price tag and how polished it is, I see no reason why I shouldn’t recommend Witcheye to any Switch owner looking for a quick arcadey fix.
Leo Faria · Aug 30, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Witcheye is a retro style platformer developed by Moon Kid and Devolver Digital. The goal is to retrieve your stolen witch goodies from an evil kingdom. It is a twist on the classic fantasy story line. What makes Witcheye so unique is the controls. The innovative control scheme creates challenging yet fun gameplay scenarios. Swipe to dodge enemies and tap to stop and avoid obstacles.
TinyLittleGames · Mar 29, 2020 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - All in all, Witcheye is an amazing platformer that differentiates from the typical platformers in a very good way. If you like platforming games, or you are a fan of retro games, or if you simply want to try something new and different, you should give it a try. It will offer you many hours of fun and entertainment.
Miserable Scribe · Sep 01, 2019 Reviewed on AndRead full review - One of the most appealing aspects of Witcheye is its retro graphics. It's true that many games over the past decade have employed graphical styles from the 8- and 16-bit eras, and while some have succeeded in capturing the ethos of those eras and others have failed, Witcheye is of the former camp.
Joseph Rowe · Aug 21, 2019 Reviewed on AndRead full review - Despite that, Witcheye is an absolutely pleasant and pleasurable adventure and easily one of the best mobile games I've played all year. With tight controls and a headphone-worthy soundtrack, it's one I'm going to be returning to. Though I'll probably just stick to the boss rush mode going forward.

Trailers & Screenshots:
Witcheye is a big, colorful, old-school platform adventure with a unique touchscreen control system that gives unparalleled control over the hero. Swipe to move and touch to stop, bouncing off of enemies and dodging hazards in six vibrant worlds. Set off on an adventure as a mild-mannered witch who transforms into a flying eyeball of vengeance after a smarmy knight and wizard steal her spell ingredients. You'll guide her through 50+ levels, each containing something completely unique: tricky new enemies, mysterious new environments, and puzzling new secrets. These elements are brought to life with colorful, clean pixel art and a lively, head-bobbing original soundtrack. Designer Peter Malamud Smith was the co-creator (with Charlie Hoey) of the viral hit The Great Gatsby For NES, and creator of the well-received mobile action puzzlers Satellina and Satellina Zero. mild-mannered witch who transforms into a flying eyeball of vengeance after a smarmy knight and wizard steal her spell ingredients.
