A Bomb Caterpillar's Big Adventure! "Öoo" is a charming yet mysterious exploration puzzle platformer where you discover creative ways to use bombs!

Review

Today's pick is a cute game called "Öoo". I played this with a few friends recently and we were pretty impressed at how far the core mechanic could be pushed. Each new puzzle uses the same simple concept to produce novel puzzles. 

Here are some things I liked about it:

  • The game is textless so as to reduce language barriers but it also has the effect of creating space for your imagination to unravel.
  • The game effectively taught us how to play without needing to explicitly tell us anything.
  • The game's pretty low pressure and just an overall chill experience.

You'll want around 20 minutes to play the demo. Maybe more if you want to find some secrets. ;)

Looking Ahead

When Öoo comes out it will be around 2-3 hours long. It's definitely something I'm looking forward to. We might explore the game some more in the future when it releases. :)

This coming Friday I have a game that reminds me of a cool October fall out at the lake. I'm excited to send it your way. Until then have a good time with Öoo!


Talk soon,
