Öoo is a puzzle-platformer where players control a caterpillar that utilizes bombs to navigate the environment. The game features simple controls, requiring only movement and bomb actions, while its design encourages experimentation without reliance on text. Players solve puzzles and sometimes backtrack to complete challenges. The game's visuals and audio are charming, enhancing the overall experience. The minimalist approach allows players to understand the mechanics intuitively, making for an engaging gameplay experience.
You play as a caterpillar that uses a bomb - and later a second one - to blow stuff up and move around. The design of this game, though, is anything but simple.
There's almost no text here, even in the menus. You learn by experimenting and figuring out how to navigate what's in front of you.
The controls are simple too, as you only need to move, and drop and blow up bombs. It's so mechanically tight that a 15-second trailer is all you need to understand what Öoo is about.
I smiled the entire way through this one - even when I got momentarily stumped - and I let out a satisfied chuckle or two when I figured out solutions to problems.
