I recently got a chance to play through Shoe It All! on the PlayStation 5 Pro, thanks to a review copy provided by Amberbite and Bright Gambit.
You can find my gameplay video below:
You can also check out my mini review of Shoe It All below:
Pros:
- Unique concept that is also a lot of fun.
- Stylish sketchbook visuals.
- Multiple modes and secret levels outside of the campaign.
Cons:
- Replaying levels can cause glitches.
Overall:
Shoe It All is a game where you try to hit specific targets by kicking your shoe from a playground swing. You need to use the right angle and have the right momentum in order to hit your target. While some levels may be simple, others will require you to hit moving targets.
One thing that immediately jumps out is the presentation. The game features sketchbook-like visuals to go along with a punk rock soundtrack, both of which fit perfectly to the young teenage rebellious theme.
Although the campaign is pretty short, as I was able to beat it in under 40 minutes, you can replay stages to earn extra stickers. With these, you will be able to unlock bonus levels. Not to mention that there is a Challenge mode where you can test your speed run skill.
The only real issue is when you directly replay a level. Doing so will cause your targets and other objects to duplicate. If you quit to the main menu and select the same stage again, the glitch would go away.
Outside of the glitches, Shoe It All is a simple and fun game with a stylish presentation. If you are looking for something unique to play, then make sure you give this game a try.
