Review ⬇

> **Objective description:**
>
> PAKPOK is a clearly challenging, puzzle-esque platformer game. You play as a small bug passing through 11 well made levels exploring new mechanics and obstacles. While it’s a simple format, the game keeps it interesting by throwing in new blocks and enemies.

> **Personal opinion:**
>
> It’s probably one of the greatest games to ever wind up on the forum. The art, gameplay and overall flow and charm of the game make it one of the best masterpieces I’ve played created on MakeCode. It really takes full advantage of the platform and uses every last bit exactly the way it was meant to. I don’t know if there’s a better way to represent the full potential of MakeCode as a platform.

> **Suggested improvements (for the author)**
>
> None. Keep doing what you’re doing, because this is something beautiful.
