After Benny, Dexter is a solid sophomore effort. Whereas Benny is a typical First Game-Maker Game, with all of the attendant oversights, assumptions, and novice clumsiness that practically make it a genre, Dexter builds on the strengths that show through Wears' earlier game, resulting in a still simple yet much more assured and involving effort.
Simple but appealing. Reminiscent of the sort of Japanese platformer that tended not to make it out of the country. For no explicable reason, calls to mind Son-Son. Maybe a bit of Psycho Fox.
The stark black background and the unusual geographical features give the game a haunting allure. Interesting sense of place.
