GameTech: Struggling is farcical, grotesque and a lot of fun

The world of the Struggling video game is hilarious, with gags in every level and even the death-moans of the creature pitched to make you belly laugh
GameTech: Struggling is farcical, grotesque and a lot of fun

The main character in the Struggling video game looks like a cross between Krang from the Mutant Ninja Turtles, and a melted octopus.

Existence can be a struggle. Sometimes, even getting out of bed can seem difficult. Just be thankful that you are not the creature from Struggling (Switch and Steam), where even basic movement is a challenge. But like all things in life, a helping hand (literally) can make all the difference.

The nameless abomination you control in Struggling wakes up in a lab, trapped in a giant glass jar, with only two long arms attached to a hideous head with two faces. It looks like a cross between Krang from the Mutant Ninja Turtles, and a melted octopus. But less handsome than that.
