"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&s;re learning things. …"

"Moon Kid&s;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. …"

"Witcheye uses an unusual concept in a creative title. Controlling a witch transformed into a floating eye is intuitive, and there are many interesting moments throughout the journey. Combat, in particular, is highlighted because of the diversity of enemies and …"

"Witcheye is a quirky platformer with an innovative movement system, and it&s;s well worth playing if you&s;re after a fresh, bite-size handheld-focused experience. Removed from its mobile context, however, it doesn&s;t quite have the necessary tactile appeal to overcome the …"
